• Preparing samples and paperwork for the Sample Preparation team
• Preparing samples and paperwork for subcontracting

Most importantly, you’ll be happy to roll up your sleeves and get stuck-in because you love to keep busy. You’re the kind of person who takes pride in keeping your work area clean (despite the muck). You’re keen to communicate with colleagues and quick to learn. That’s important because you’ll be fully trained by our brilliant team of Technicians.

For the Sample Preparation role, you’ll have experience of a manual role under your belt and will have thrived working in a high volume, quick-paced working environment.
