• Book and deliver training, including CSCS and HE passport courses
• Keep the site store organised, with kit calibrated, allocated and repaired
• Check vehicles, review driving reports and sort fleet issues with the fleet coordinator
• Handle absence records and first-stage disciplinaries through Bright HR

• A solid background as a senior site technician and/or supervision in construction materials testing
• Hands-on site testing experience on asphalt or earthworks
