The Role

ALS is seeking Laboratory Assistants for our metallurgical services business in Burnie, Tasmania. Successful applicants will become part of its busy metallurgy testing laboratories that strives to exceed customer expectations by delivering quality results on time, and by maintaining strong relationships with its clients.
