Your Role: Hands-On, Impactful, and Fast-Paced

Do you like the idea of starting your day outdoors instead of at a desk? Do you take pride in hands-on work that makes a real impact on the success of a construction project? Are you ready for a job where no two days look the same? If so, a career as a Construction Materials Engineering Technician out of our Lexington, Kentucky office might be exactly what you're looking for.

At S&ME, our Construction Materials Engineering Technicians are essential to getting the job done right. From day one, you'll be in the field helping ensure that the materials used to build everything from restaurants to stadiums meet the right standards for quality and safety.


What You'll Do:

Start with Concrete: Begin with concrete testing and sampling, then move on to other materials like soils, asphalt, and masonry.
Train as You Go: Receive on-the-job training and certification support through the American Concrete Institute (ACI) and the International Code Council (ICC).
Work Outdoors Year-Round: Enjoy working outside in various weather conditions, with changing environments and different crews on different sites.
Testing and Reporting: Conduct and document tests on construction materials with precision. Ensure all laboratory and field equipment is well-maintained and properly calibrated. Collaborate with colleagues and work independently to ensure test results are logical, complete, and ready for review.
Inspections and Compliance: Perform inspections of construction materials according to the International Building Code (IBC) and serve as a Special Inspection agent per certifications and IBC requirements. Review project plans, record observations and test results, and use Metafield® to organize data.


What to Expect:

With the use of Company-provided Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), this physically active job involves outdoor, hands-on work in all weather conditions. You'll be walking over rough terrain, standing for long periods (up to 12 hours), lifting and carrying 40-50 lbs. of materials and equipment, and safely handling field tools and maneuvering equipment on active construction sites.

Experience shifting work hours based on project needs and weather conditions, including early mornings, some Saturdays, and overtime (paid at time and a half). Travel expenses (per-diem/lodging) are covered when assisting other offices.


What We're Looking For:

A strong work ethic and a team mindset
Curiosity and willingness to learn, obtaining certifications are part of your growth
Attention to detail and good communication skills (speaking, reading, and writing) using the English language
Math skills with a basic understanding of weight, volume, pressure, and units of measure
The understanding of a fluctuating schedule and interest in occasional travel


Why Join S&ME?

At S&ME, your career growth is our priority. We provide professional training, exciting projects, and a supportive environment that truly invests in its people. This is more than just a job, it's an opportunity to build a long-term career in the engineering and construction industry. Many of our experienced technicians and engineers began their journey right where you are now. We believe in growing our team from within and equipping you with the tools to succeed.

Ready to get your hands dirty and build something great? Apply today and help shape the future, one project, one test, and one material at a time with a firm committed to our employees and providing quality service to our clients.

This full-time role offers competitive pay based on experience. Candidates must comply with our Fleet Management, Substance Policy, and Reference Check requirements. Only candidates with valid employment eligibility (I-9) will be considered. Visa assistance is not available. S&ME reserves the right to hire internally or externally at any time. No candidate/recruiter calls, personal calls, or walk-ins are accepted.
