What will the apprentice be doing?

As a Material Technician Apprentice at Eurotest, you’ll be involved in different tasks, as no two days are the same with us. You’ll be working in a laboratory, but not as you know it! Be prepared to get mucky as you get to know your materials. This won’t be a sterile environment and requires someone who’s not afraid to get stuck in.

Once you have completed your training period, you’ll have the opportunity to:

  • Carry out different types of tests on concrete, soils, and aggregates both, in the laboratory and on-site
  • Book samples and to report results when required
  • Calibrate and maintain the equipment allocated to you

What is the expected career progression after this apprenticeship?
