Significant practical experience in analytical method development within a regulated laboratory or CRO environment
Strong hands-on expertise with LC-MS/MS and GC instrumentation
Experience working with pharmaceuticals, veterinary medicines, agrochemicals, and/or biocidal products
Demonstrated understanding of emerging contaminants in the environment and their analytical challenges
Experience acting as a Study Director or supporting study direction under GLP is highly desirable
Strong problem-solving ability, attention to detail, and scientific judgement
Excellent communication, organisational, and client-facing skills
