• Developing and optimising assays, analysing data and drawing sound scientific conclusions.
• Recording and reporting experimental outcomes to meet design control requirements.
• Preparing and reviewing technical documentation to support regulatory compliance.
• Supporting colleagues’ development and ensuring the safe operation of laboratory equipment.

We’re looking for:

• A science degree or equivalent qualification.
• Relevant experience in a regulated laboratory environment, such as medical devices or pharmaceuticals.
• Assay development and optimisation experience.
• Strong experimental recording, reporting and data interpretation skills.
• A practical approach to problem solving and excellent attention to detail.

You’ll also need to communicate well across disciplines, take ownership of your work and manage competing priorities. An enquiring mind and a willingness to contribute ideas will be valuable.
