Our client, a market leading R&D organisation, are recruiting a Lab Technician/Senior Technologist to support their Southampton operation.
The role described focuses on supporting the development of e-liquid products, ensuring high-quality production, and advancing product safety as part of the company's broader ambitions in vaping technology. Here's a summary of the key objectives, expectations, and responsibilities:
Key Objectives:
E-liquid Product Development: Support the development and capabilities of e-liquid formulations in the lab and pilot plant. Drive continuous improvements in quality control and product safety. Collaboration: Engage with internal product development teams. Assist in reviewing production reports and summarizing findings for further development.
Key Expectations: Technical Expertise: A deep understanding of e-liquid chemistry and analytical techniques (e.g., pH meter, UV-VIS, viscosity, etc.). Ability to support the development of e-liquids by formulating and producing samples, ensuring safety and quality control standards. Product Quality Assurance: Ensure e-liquid formulations meet defined quality control standards through various testing methods. Participate in routine calibration, maintenance, and compliance with ISO quality management systems. Project Management: Plan and manage short- and long-term e-liquid formulation projects effectively. Utilize formal project management tools when needed to organize tasks and timelines.
Core Responsibilities: Formulation and Testing: Conduct e-liquid formulation production, small batch preparation, and testing using various laboratory techniques. Perform wet chemistry tests (e.g., pH, viscosity, flash point) in line with QC standards. Collaboration and Reporting: Work with internal teams to address technical challenges and summarize findings. Assist with reporting results and collaborating with internal/external stakeholders. Safety and Maintenance: Follow safety standards, including PPE use, work area housekeeping, and participation in job safety analysis. Maintain laboratory equipment and ensure operational readiness.
Experience and Skills Required: Technical Experience: Proven laboratory experience, ideally in e-liquids formulation and hazardous material management. Knowledge of sample preparation, analysis, and measurement techniques. Organizational and Interpersonal Skills: Ability to prioritize tasks and manage time effectively. Strong teamwork and communication skills to collaborate with peers and stakeholders. Curiosity and Problem-Solving: A strong interest in product development and technical challenges. Ability to address issues proactively with a "can-do" attitude.
Other Expectations: Contract Type: 12-month contract initially. Rate: £17.19 per hour. This role is well-suited for individuals with a scientific background, particularly in laboratory-based work, who have a keen interest in product development and quality control within the e-liquids industry. #J-18808-Ljbffr
