Support equipment maintenance, calibration, and performance verification activities.
Assist with method development, validation, and proficiency testing programmes.
Comply with all laboratory health, safety, and environmental procedures.
Provide support to the Microbiology Section Leader and wider laboratory team as required.
Undertake additional duties appropriate to the role and business needs.
