  • Professional engineer licensed in Oregon or Idaho, or licensed in another state and able to obtain a license in Oregon and Idaho, too
  • Minimum five years' experience in construction materials testing
  • Good knowledge of ASTM E329, C1077, and D3740 (these three standards must be reviewed in detail by the applicants prior to applying)
Additionally, the following will be considered assets:

  • Experience in testing/inspecting concrete and grout
  • Experience in testing/inspecting soil and rock
  • Good knowledge in some of the following (the more, the better):

    • C231/C231M Test Method for Air Content of Freshly Mixed Concrete by the Pressure Method
    • C1064/C1064M Test Method for Temperature of Freshly Mixed Hydraulic-Cement Concrete
    • C1231/C1231M Practice for Use of Unbonded Caps in Determination of Compressive Strength of Hardened Cylindrical Concrete Specimens
    • D75/D75M Practice for Sampling Aggregates

    • ASTM D4318 Standard Test Methods for Liquid Limit, Plastic Limit, and Plasticity Index of Soils
    • ASTM D6938 Standard Test Methods for In-Place Density and Water Content of Soil and Soil-Aggregate by Nuclear Methods (Shallow Depth)
    • AASHTO R18 Recommended Practice for Establishing and Implementing a Quality System for Construction Materials Testing Laboratories
  • Good knowledge of AASHTO's role and methods to accredit and maintain lab certifications in the USA
  • Strong computer skills
  • Knowledge of Quality Management Systems, specifically construction related
  • Knowledge of typical construction project processes such as RFIs, Change Management, Field Instructions, NCRs, Walk-Down, Commissioning, Turnover, "As-Built" drawings

  • Ability to maintain traceability of many complex documents electronically
  • Ability to work independently with minimal supervision and meet deadlines
  • Ability to demonstrate sound judgment and maintain confidentiality when required
  • Ability to be resourceful to troubleshoot and solve problems and issues as required
Reporting to Phasor's Field Operations Manager, this position will start on a 5-2 shift that can be done remotely until the labs are set up and certified. There will be some travel required for purchasing and dressing the trailers, purchasing the tools and equipment, inspecting the labs at various phases and to witness some of the calibrations. A very important part of this phase will be writing the lab manuals and procedures and the other documents necessary for the AASHTO application, and recruiting the lab personnel.

Once the labs are certified and the testing operations commence, the shift may change to ensure proper coverage of the Lab Manager upon the lab activities in accordance with the requirements of ASTM E329, C1077, and D3740, and in accordance with the AASHTO requirements.

Each lab will have its Lab Supervisor, reporting to the Lab Manager. The Lab Supervisors must also meet the requirements of ASTM E329, C1077, D3740, and AASHTO, and may be recruited in advance of commencing the field operations to assist the Lab Manager in creating the manuals and procedures, and in the initial calibration, labelling, registering etc. of the various tools and devices needed for testing.

THIS ENDEAVOR STARTS FROM SCRATCH AND THE GOAL IS TO OBTAIN CERTIFICATION FOR ONE OR TWO LABS IN MAXIMUM ONE YEAR. PHASOR WILL CONSIDER ONLY CANDIDATES WHO MEET THE MANDATORY REQUIREMENTS AND WHO CAN DEMONSTRATE A STRONG COMMITMENT TOWARDS ACHIEVING THIS GOAL IN THE SHORTEST TIME POSSIBLE.
