I got offered a opportunity for a Materials Testing Technician and I've worked in Union Construction as a Journeyman Laborer for more than 10yrs. I really have always had a passion to want to do this. I can't wait for this new journey. Thanks for making a great video with good informative information and inspiration. Stay safe.
I apologize my friend for never responding to your comments! I never really thought anybody would comment and then I accidentally neglected my channel! so once again I would like to personally apologize for not responding! if anybody has any questions regarding becoming a materials testing technician I'll be more than happy to answer your questions!
Hi there sir. I'm interviewing for a CMT technician position soon. I've read some of the comments and discovering that you need to be certified? I have some construction background with asphalt and concrete work, as a laborer. I applied for this position because it looks like something I'd really enjoy doing so I submitted my resume but don't have experience. I got a response to interview. Since I haven't done this specific work before, am I wasting my time? Thanks very much for this information. Very very pleasant.
Hi there! I'm applying to be a Materials Testing Technician for the city of L.A. as well. Do you have any advice on taking the test as well as the interviews? Thanks! :)
@John I was a decade into landscaping, so I joined a lab in the area. Find one that does testing and things of the sort, and you can get certified and start working your way up the certification ladder rather than go to school to be a civil engineer and be in debt. The company I work with will pay for your cert test. Just gotta be willing. The more certs you have, the more versatile you are for the company. Since I got hired, I've done Cement Testing, Densities with a Nuke, GPR Scanning, and of course lab work.. Right now, I'm in a village called New Stuyahok doing Densities for a water treatment plant. Then I go back to the military base in Anchorage and do the same thing.. then I get called out to go somewhere... cycle continues. You can do it!!!!
I wasn’t expecting such a profound message at the end. Good work

Good video. Hmm, I wonder if I'd do better measuring my weight in cubic feet. I'm good on density. Thanks, man.

Great video... any advice for taking the Materials Testing Technician test?
+Jonathan A Hi Jonathan, I was wondering if you've taken your test yet and/or interviewed? How did it go? What was it like?
+Jonathan A How is the process going for you? :)
+Preston Martin Haven't taken any test yet. Going to take one in a few weeks.
+Jonathan A That's really cool. What city are you taking yours for? L.A. as well? I'm taking mine this Saturday. :)
+Jonathan A Are you taking the test for the City of L.A. as well, or for someplace else?
Starting average salary?
Amen
testing asphalt is so random tbh as we need 92-96 percent and its all over usually
Jason that’s true! Asphalt compaction can be all over the place and here in the city, we require a minimum of 95%
any advice for someone planning on taking the Concrete Field Testing Technician test?
