JOB REF: 2524

PACKAGE: £17,000 to £28,000 dependent on experience

HOURS: 37.5 hours per week

DESCRIPTION: We’re filthy and we’re proud of it.

Our purpose-designed lab tests muck and water. We do it really well – to nationally accredited standards. There are other labs who offer testing, but we’re fast, accurate and reliable and we guarantee our turnaround times. We’ve got lots of work. And that’s where you come in.

You’ll prepare and analyse samples in our Inorganics section using various different analytical techniques, primarily IC, Skalar, TOC/DOC and various wet chemistry techniques. You’ll be all over the calibration, maintenance and troubleshooting of the equipment.

You’re the kind of person who takes pride in keeping your work area clean (despite the muck) and live by the mantra ‘if there’s time to lean, there’s time to clean’.  There’s not a day that goes by when you don’t check your stock levels.

You’ve a degree in a chemistry related discipline or a minimum of 1 year hands-on experience, ideally in a commercial environment with a high throughput and working to demanding deadlines.

If you’re currently employed, or have previously been employed, in an environmental and/or contract laboratory sector, you’ll jump to the top of our shortlist. Knowledge of the analytical instrumentation and UKAS accreditation means you get a gold star against your name.

You’ll be supported by an excellent and enthusiastic bunch of scientists who will have your back every day. In return, you’ll be a role model for technicians who will learn their trade through you. You might even be able to show our Chemists a thing or two…
