The Position
Fire resistance testing assists in determining the behaviour of an element of construction when exposed to defined heating and pressure conditions which may be encountered in a fully developed fire. The fire-resistance of a product or system can be determined through destructive fire testing designed to replicate the product’s intended end-use. These tested products and systems help to control the growth and spread of fire, which protects life safety by allowing occupants to escape and the fire services to gain access to fight the fire.
The Fire-Resistance Testing Engineer is responsible for testing activities within the Structural Fire laboratory including project management, specimen documentation, specimen construction supervision, test instrumentation and technical reporting. This role communicates directly with commercial clients in the construction industry to provide structural fire testing of building systems in accordance with the framework outlined within the National Construction Code (BCA).
In addition, the Fire-Resistance Testing Engineer is responsible for activities relating to other types of fire testing including bushfire testing and other adhoc tests as required. The role is also responsible for testing and technical report writing relating to infrastructure projects such as the fire performance of tunnel linings, fire rated cable and cable support systems as well as adhoc client investigations and/or research activities.
