Job Description
About the opportunity:
Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) refers to the condition of the air inside buildings, including offices, hospitals, laboratories and manufacturing facilities. It covers everything from particulate levels and airborne contaminants to ventilation performance and microbial presence. Getting it right matters, particularly in environments where occupant health, regulatory compliance or sensitive processes are at stake.
Benmax holds NATA (National Association of Testing Authorities) accreditation for indoor air quality testing, and we're looking for the right person to lead that service.
This is a role for someone who cares about getting it right. The test methodology, the report, the client relationship. You take pride in work that's technically sound and clearly communicated, and you hold yourself to a high standard without needing to be asked.
Most of your time will be office-based, with regular site visits woven in as the work requires. You'll own our NATA accreditation, drive continuous improvement, and keep an eye out for opportunities to grow the service. If you have an auditor's mindset and thrive on precision, this role is worth a close look.
You can expect to:
Conduct IAQ testing at client sites across Canberra and surrounds, including HEPA filter testing, fume cupboard testing, and clean room validation, in accordance with relevant Australian Standards
Act as the NATA Authorised Representative, owning all accreditation documentation, compliance obligations, and audit preparation end to end
Produce technically precise client reports, with a monthly minimum turnaround and a continuous push to improve delivery times
Maintain strong relationships with key institutional clients as their primary technical point of contact
Oversee the IAQ team's technical output, keeping every deliverable accurate, consistent, and compliant
Continuously review and improve testing procedures, documentation practices, and quality systems
Identify opportunities to expand services with existing clients and contribute to discussions with prospective ones
Participate in internal and external QA audits and contribute to quality system improvements across the division
What you’ll bring:
Essential:
Tertiary qualification in a related field such as science, engineering, or environmental health
Hands-on experience in a laboratory or testing environment, ideally NATA accredited
Technical grounding in air quality testing through HVAC, mechanical, or a related background
Demonstrated ability to apply Australian Standards and documented test methods
Comfortable working in controlled environments such as labs, healthcare facilities, or manufacturing
Strong grasp of quality management systems, data integrity, and accreditation frameworks
Exceptional attention to detail with an auditor's approach to accuracy and compliance
Confident communicating technical findings to clients and building lasting professional relationships
Valid driver's licence and willingness to travel to client sites as required
Desirable:
Previous role as a NATA Authorised Representative
Membership of a relevant industry body such as AIRAH
About us:
For over 40 years, Benmax has specialised in solving complex HVAC and building services challenges. Our reputation is built on technical excellence, quality delivery and a team we invest in and genuinely support.
We’re known for our collaborative culture, commitment to innovation and focus on developing our people.
