As we often say as an introduction to our new roles: why work for one company when you can influence your entire sector for the better? That is what is on offer with this newly created opportunity, as you help to support the UK minerals industry in its standardization and decarbonisation journey.
Your overall purpose will be to provide technical expert support to our Association’s work on standards and specifications relating to asphalt and aggregates.

- Represent the Association as an expert on standardisation committees relating to asphalt and aggregate product and testing standards;
- Provide technical support to members and external enquiries relating to Asphalt, road Construction and Aggregates, through existing and new communications plans, platforms/channels and events.
That is is just a few topics for a start! This role reports directly to two of our Technical Directors but will provide some support to all our Association product groups on common technical issues.
What are we looking for in you?
- An established technical knowledge and background in UK construction and/or materials ideally with relevant qualifications to at least FHEQ Level 4, preferably in science or engineering.
- Knowledge and experience of UK and EU legislation, regulations and standardisation processes in relation to Asphalt & Aggregates, plus an understanding and experience of the processes involved in development of standards in both the UK & EU is desirable;

- Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written; with the ability to foster effective working relationships and build consensus and the capacity to interact and influence a variety of users and senior management.
- An enthusiastic and motivated self-starter, who is able to work effectively with minimal supervision in a small but highly effective and agile team as well as work closely with our Member companies, central/devolved government departments and the regulatory agencies.
If you have the skills and experience that we need, and it is time for you to influence your entire sector for the better, then we would love to hear from you.
