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…
