The Opportunity:

We are currently seeking Material Testing Technicians at all experience levels to join our Columbus Field/Lab, OH office.

This role is ideal for individuals who enjoy hands-on work, problem-solving, and contributing to the successful delivery of infrastructure and construction projects. Whether you are just starting your career or bringing previous materials testing experience, you will play an important role in ensuring that construction materials and workmanship meet project specifications and quality standards.

Depending on your experience level, you may also have opportunities to mentor junior staff and expand your technical expertise through certifications and specialized training.

Key Responsibilities:

Perform field testing of concrete, mortar, grout, and other cementitious materials on active construction sites.
Conduct compaction testing in the field, including use of Nuclear Density Gauge equipment.
Perform laboratory testing of soils and construction materials at our Columbus laboratory.
Accurately prepare daily materials testing reports that are clear, complete, and well-organized.
Communicate daily with the Laboratory Manager, Project Inspectors, and Project Managers regarding test results and site conditions.
Maintain testing equipment and follow established safety and quality procedures.

Strong attention to detail and commitment to accuracy and safety.

- PRIME AE will pay for all required certifications and recertifications.
