Key Skills and Qualifications
- Permanent Australian residency with unrestricted work rights (no visa sponsorship available)
- Hands-on experience in Construction Materials Testing, focusing on soil analysis

- Strong teamwork abilities and commitment to supporting a safety-conscious workplace culture
