Description

GSG Laboratories is an Australian owned and operated provider of construction materials, environmental and agricultural testing and drilling services, operating through a network of NATA-accredited base laboratories across Queensland and New South Wales.


We deliver high-quality testing to projects in every sector of construction and agriculture, from residential and commercial developments to transport infrastructure, renewables, mining, oil and gas, and rural work. Alongside our base laboratories, we provide branch and annex (onsite) laboratory services Australia wide, and our regional footprint means we can mobilise staff and resources quickly.


Our technicians, scientists and drillers bring decades of in-depth experience to projects of every size, backed by an administration team that keeps results accurate and on time.


That expertise has deep roots in regional Queensland, tracing back to Wide Bay Geotechnical Services, established in 1986. Following the acquisition of East West Enviroag, the businesses unified as GSG Laboratories in October 2024, and our recent acquisition by Protest CMT marks the next stage in that growth.


When you join our team, you'll be part of our bigger picture, shaping communities through inspiration and innovation. We want you to be a part of our vision... to lead and grow through action, innovation, and excellence alongside our clients, communities, and people.
