The role of a Concrete Test Lab Technician encompasses a blend of field and laboratory responsibilities, where the focus is on testing and analyzing concrete to ensure it meets specified standards and requirements. This position requires a hands-on approach to collecting samples, conducting tests for strength and composition, and providing detailed reports on findings. In summary, a concrete test lab technician is responsible for accurate testing, data recording, and maintaining quality standards in concrete materials.
 
You will spend most of your working hours, Monday through Saturday, on the construction site in Snyder, TX. Our systems take 6-24 months to build. Energy Vault covers the travel, food, and other miscellaneous expenses on a project-by-project basis determined by geographic location. The concrete test lab is planned for re-location to the State of Washington; however, the timing of the move is to-be-determined.
