About The Role
Lucideon has a long history of successful support of the construction industry with its unique testing and development facilities in Staffordshire.
Our business helps our clients in their development of new construction products and systems, in all forms of materials and combinations.
Job Purpose
As the industry develops and modernises its current construction methods and further evolves its sustainable capabilities, we are growing and diversifying to meet market needs. Following recent investments in exciting new capabilities and equipment improvements, we can offer more services and increase productivity in this busy sector.
Although the team may be considered relatively small with circa 25 colleagues, the devil is in the detail – our highly skilled technical team are pitted against some of the construction industry’s toughest testing challenges, including making sure the roof of Wembley Stadium doesn’t collapse!
Lucideon is looking for a motivated and technically minded Test Engineer to join our Construction – Structures team. In this hands-on role, you will carry out testing on a wide range of construction products and components to British and European standards, as well as bespoke client specifications.
You will play a key role in ensuring products meet required performance expectations, gathering and analysing data, and producing high-quality technical reports. This position also involves direct communication with clients, so confidence and clarity in communication are essential.
