In the built environment you will find us at the intersection of risks to wellbeing, and global concerns for sustainability. In that place our people find meaningful work, leading to mutual relationships with our customers. We are committed to excellence, innovation, and investing in our people. Due to growth and strategic planning QED has expanded its services with the provision of an analytical laboratory, we are seeking a motivated and detail-oriented Laboratory Analyst who is looking to develop their career into a future Laboratory Manager role.

About the role

This is a full time position in our NATA accredited laboratory specialising in hazardous materials testing and analysis in Bibra Lake, Perth. We work with a diverse range of clients across industries including construction, environmental consulting, and government sectors, ensuring compliance and safety in environments where hazardous materials pose a risk.

As a Laboratory Analyst, you will play a key role in delivering accurate and timely analytical results to support our operations and customers. As we continue to grow, we are seeking a driven and detail-oriented Laboratory Analyst who is looking to build a long-term career with us.

You will have the opportunity to go onsite for sample collection across Perth metro. Further training to become a licenced asbestos assessor and noise officer is available for the right candidate.

The laboratory operates day shift only, with the possibility of some flexible hours e.g. 7-3, 8-4 or 9-5. Regional travel for 2-5 consecutive days will occasionally be required – this is NOT a FIFO role.
