They will also have the capacity to produce accurate user-information/ procedures and be able to demonstrate the practical elements of instrumentation. Effective communication with multiple stakeholders is essential. 

About you

• Experience of preparing complex chemical materials.
• Strong background in hazardous chemicals and biological materials.
• Significant analytic/ equipment experience.
• Experience of planning and coordinating laboratory logistics to tight time-scales.
