- Accurately record, interpret and communicate analytical results.

- Maintain high standards of laboratory documentation, housekeeping and health and safety.

Candidate profile

We are interested in speaking with candidates who have:

- A degree in Chemistry or another relevant scientific subject.

- Previous practical laboratory experience.

- Experience gained within chemistry, analytical, quality control, chemical manufacturing, pharmaceutical, environmental or materials laboratories would be particularly relevant.

What's on offer

- £14.00 per hour

- 12-month temporary contract

- Monday to Friday

- Rotating early day and back shifts

- Broad exposure to laboratory and analytical testing within a chemical manufacturing environment
