Overview

Element is looking for a highly motivated Testing Technician to conduct various fire performance tests, including the analysis of test results to well defined standards and/or standard operating procedures. This position involves sample preparation, physical testing, scheduling, equipment setup, maintenance / calibration, client interaction, and report writing.

Element Toronto - Oakville is an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited testing laboratory within the Greater Toronto Area. The facility brings together two specialist disciplines under one roof: Building Science and Fire Testing.

Our Fire Testing services are nationally recognised for the evaluation of material and system behaviour to national and international fire safety standards. The behaviour of a burning object in a developing fire directly impacts how easily people can escape from the scene. Even when reaction to fire testing is not required under regulations, a relevant insurer or authority may request improvements to fire performance — making testing essential.
