Candidate must be well versed to use tools, lab equipment and computer technology to process materials.
    3. Accredited member of an internationally recognized professional institution
    4. Good command of spoken and written English

    General Professional Experiences: 
    1. Minimum 5 years post-qualification experience in bitumen / asphalt mix design
    2. Design and create new material and the processing technology to produce such material.
    3. Analyze material and data, conduct tests, troubleshooting and monitoring performance, insuring quality control and creating documentation.
    4. Well versed for applicable standards in industry.
    5. Responsible for developing new methods of testing, training technicians and lab workers, maintaining inventories and ordering supplies as per company policy with staying up-to-date on industry standards, government regulations and new developments in field.

    Specific Professional Experiences: 
    1. Must have sound knowledge and expertise of bitumen tests such as but not limited to Softening Point Test (Ring & Ball), Penetration Test, Ductility Test, Elastic Recovery of Bitumen, Viscosity Test, Flash Point Test, Specific Gravity Test, Loss on Heating Test, Thin Film Oven Test (TFOT) and Rolling Thin Film Oven Test (RTFOT). Candidate must have dexterity in carrying out Performance Grade tests(Rotational Viscometer, Dynamic Shear Rheometer (DSR), Bending Beam Rheometer (BBR), and Direct Tension Tester) on bitumen as per current standards. Candidate must also be aware of Separation Tests, Solubility, Recovery and Stress-Strain Tests for modified binders.
