Laboratory Assessor

AMRL Laboratory Assessors perform on-site evaluations of construction materials testing (CMT) laboratories located in all fifty states, Canada, Puerto Rico, and Guam. This is a full-time, entry-level position that offers a unique opportunity to travel. Assessors inspect each laboratory’s testing equipment, observe the performance of testing procedures in accordance with AASHTO and/or ASTM standards, and review quality management system documentation. Construction materials currently included in the scope of our programs are asphalt, aggregate, soil, metals, plastic pipe, and sprayed fire-resistive material (SFRM).

Education and Other Requirements

A four-year degree in science (geology, environmental, etc.) or engineering (civil, mechanical, industrial, materials, environmental) is required. Advanced degrees are not desired for this entry-level position. Equivalent and relevant experience will be considered in lieu of the education requirement.

We provide rigorous training – no prior CMT experience is required. Previous customer service experience is a plus. Interested candidates must have the willingness and ability to travel independently and extensively (at least 110 days per year, two or three continuous weeks at a time). Additional requirements include a valid state driver’s license with a sound driving record, strong oral communication and technical writing skills, and the ability to drive at least 400 miles per day (on occasion).
