Dauson Environmental Group Ltd has an ambitious environmental strategy which includes a commitment to diverting 100% of its demolition waste from landfill. Waste valorisation is critical to achieving this strategy through the repurposing of waste construction materials, specifically waste filter cake derived from soil washing, into ultra-low carbon concrete-based products and cement
replacers for the ready mix/precast markets.

This role will provide technical and commercial development opportunities to the KTP Associate; supported by the Teesside University academic team, you will lead on the development of this product range by utilising advanced carbon mineralisation techniques, non-thermal activation and LCA.
