Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
The R&D Technician is responsible for preparing cement and concrete specimens and conducting ASTM-based testing to evaluate material properties. They will maintain laboratory records, operate testing equipment, and support the development of low-carbon cementitious materials.
Candidates should have a high school diploma, with an associate or bachelor's degree in engineering preferred. Experience with construction materials, familiarity with ASTM procedures, and ACI certification are highly desired.
Queens Carbon is developing next-generation low-carbon cement and supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) that reduce the carbon footprint of concrete while maintaining or improving performance. Our team combines materials science, chemistry, and process engineering to develop innovative technologies that can transform one of the world’s largest industries.
We are seeking a hands-on R&D Technician to support laboratory testing and evaluation of cementitious materials, mortars, concrete mixtures, and supplementary cementitious materials. This role will work closely with our Concrete Scientist and R&D team to generate high-quality experimental data and advance the development of new cement and concrete technologies.
The R&D Technician will be responsible for preparing and making mortar and concrete specimens, conducting ASTM-based testing, operating laboratory equipment, maintaining laboratory records, and supporting ongoing materials development efforts.
The majority of the role will involve hands-on laboratory work including batching materials, mixing mortars and concrete, preparing test specimens, curing samples, conducting measurements, and documenting results.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys working with materials, laboratory equipment, and physical testing while contributing to the development of sustainable construction technologies.
These requirements are not set in cement, so if you're passionate about this role and think you'd be a great fit, please reach out!
