This is a hands-on laboratory role supporting the testing and analysis of raw materials, intermediate products and finished goods within a busy chemical manufacturing environment.
The position would suit someone with previous practical laboratory experience, ideally gained within a chemistry, analytical, quality control or chemical manufacturing laboratory.

- Analyse process and environmental samples, including pH, TSS and COD testing.
- Support testing and validation activities relating to new plant equipment and technical projects.
- 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
