This is a great opportunity for individuals looking to develop their career by driving the technical development of a Chemistry department.
This role will allow the successful candidate to expand their skill set across specification of laboratory instrumentation and equipment, method development and validation, and establishment of laboratory systems and procedures. The role will also involve exposure to a range of test methods, analytical techniques, and sample types; therefore, analytical chemistry experience with chromatography is required.
Key Responsibilities
* Lead the specification and selection process for laboratory instrumentation and equipment liaising with suppliers.
* Coordinate project plans for proposals, delivery, installation, commissioning of equipment, and liaise with the QA department on any calibrations required.
* Lead Validation Plan design and implementation for various test methods.
* Analyse data using statistical techniques and prepare validation reports for submission to relevant regulatory bodies.
* Prepare relevant documentation including test methods, forms, and other supporting procedures.
* Assist with preparation of Chemistry laboratories for assessment to ISO17025.
* Assist with LIMS implementation.
About You
* Degree in Chemistry/Food Chemistry/Science with a significant amount of Chemistry. Relevant post-graduate qualification preferred.
* Working knowledge of a variety of analytical techniques including Chromatography.
* Some experience in project planning, development, and validation of analytical methods.
* At least 3 years solid experience in analytical chemistry across a variety of techniques and instruments.
* Proven troubleshooting and maintenance skills, able to come up with technical ideas and solutions, interpret data and present in the required format.
* Understanding of food chemistry, regulations, and analytical techniques.
* Working knowledge of ISO17025 requirements as applicable to chemistry laboratories.
