This is because there can be sudden changes in process or structure, or a sudden request, which needs to be embraced and handled with positivity and a huge can-do attitude!

In addition, you must have HPLC experience, as this is a hands-on role, experience in FTIR, Karl Fischer, GC, and analytical testing. Please note, this is not an R&D role. You will also understand QMS and the regulations side of things. Part of your duties will be to organise the weekly testing schedule and you will liaise with the Technical Manager. Other duties will include: adherence to GMP requirements; verifying testing data; responsibility for key quality documentation; developing methods and SOPs; undertaking laboratory investigations; responsibility for QC equipment; coordination of analytical testing activities; developing validation protocols and reports; training of QC staff.
