Geotechnical Laboratory Technician | Mitarbeiter*in im Grundbaulabor (w/m/d)

Job Summary

This role involves providing technical and practical support for teaching and contract research within the Civil Engineering department, specifically focusing on the Geotechnical Laboratory. The technician will be responsible for executing crucial field investigations to explore subsoil structure, including the extraction and laboratory analysis of soil and water samples. Key day-to-day tasks involve performing in-situ bearing capacity tests (such as Proctor, Densitometer, and plate load tests) and conducting all soil mechanics laboratory tests according to DIN standards. A core requirement is a successfully completed apprenticeship as a Building Materials Tester or in a related trade, coupled with at least three years of professional experience in geotechnical field and lab work. The position requires deep knowledge of soil mechanics, strong manual dexterity, and the ability to operate and maintain specialized laboratory equipment and vehicles, making it ideal for a hands-on professional seeking a role in applied civil engineering research and education.
