- Verify requested tasks with internal customers, schedule work orders, and resolve conflicting priorities to ensure timely delivery.
- Evaluate and develop new testing methods as required, establishing standard processes for future use.
- Review test results with supervisors/management and communicate clear, accurate findings to the end customer.
- Execute all tests in strict adherence to ASTM standards and specifications.
Required Experience & Qualifications
- 5+ years executing materials tests to ASTM standards (e.g., Hardness, Tack-Free Time, Viscosity) with a strong ability to read, interpret, and apply these standards independently.
- 5+ years of hands-on experience with fabrication and assembly techniques, including bonding, sanding, drilling, and material surface preparation.
- 5+ years of experience safely mixing, weighing, and handling chemicals.
- 5+ years interpreting and working from engineering drawings and technical schematics.
- 5+ years of proficiency in a Windows-based MS Office suite environment (Outlook, Excel, Word) for communication, scheduling, and data processing.
