Here’s what a typical day would be like:

  • Taking part in team toolbox talk prior to shift activities
  • Preparing soil and rock samples for testing
  • Carrying out various tests on soil/rock samples to client specifications
  • Taking responsibility for your own Health and Safety and that of others around you

Who we’re looking for:

Essential

  • GCSE English, Maths and Science Grades 1-4 or equivalent qualifications
