Tech/Engineering - Construction / Civil Engineering
German term or phrase: Baustoffprüfer
aus einer Stellenbeschreibung:

Der Baustoffprüfer arbeitet hier zusammen mit einem Anwendungsingenieur, einem Chemiker und einem Chemielaboranten dem "Leiter Anwendungstechnik" eines Industrieunternehmens (Mineralölbranche) zu.

Habe gefunden: Werkstoffprüfer - material tester oder material technician. Baustoffprüfer ist aber spezifischer.
NUR auf deutschen Internetseiten mit englischer Übersetzung konnte ich einen "building material tester" finden.

Ein "building material tester" scheint auch eine Maschine zu sein: http://www.tbpc.state.tx.us/reqs/ (nach Begriff suchen und auf Nr. klicken).
