    • Provide support and cover for the laboratory at their production facility during holidays/sickness/absence/etc

    Qualifications and Experience:

    • Experience in inventory control and laboratory maintenance.
    • Practical ability in aseptic technique and other microbiological techniques (plating, CFU, culturing).

    • Ability to communicate clearly and concisely within a team environment.
    • Excellent time management skills.

    A keen eye for detail and the ability to understand and write technical reports/documents to aid in the process development and in conducting investigations.

    You will be an effective communicator with the ability to work independently and effectively within team.

    You will have a positive 'can do' approach and a keen interest in the use of biotechnology for the benefit of the environment.
