Full job description

Job Overview
Opal Forensics is seeking a Laboratory Technician with experience in environmental genomics to support DNA sequencing and analysis of fungal and environmental samples. This is a, hands-on laboratory role within a small, highly collaborative team. The post-holder will play a key role in delivering high-quality molecular and sequencing workflows, contributing directly to sequencing performance, data quality, and continuous improvement in a quality-managed laboratory environment. The role spans the full technical pipeline, from controlled sample receipt and molecular preparation through sequencing execution, with an emphasis on practical delivery rather than formal management responsibility.

Key Responsibilities

Carry out and support sample receipt, logging, and traceability procedures
Perform DNA extraction at BSL2, PCR, and library preparation for environmental and fungal samples
Set up, run, monitor, and optimise sequencing workflows (ONT)
Troubleshoot molecular and sequencing issues as they arise
Perform sequencing quality control and review key performance metrics
Provide technical input and day-to-day support to other laboratory staff where needed
Maintain accurate, complete, and audit-ready laboratory and digital records
Support equipment validation, calibration, and method optimisation activities
Contribute to laboratory quality systems and continuous improvement initiatives
Identify workflow risks, deviations, and opportunities for practical optimisation

Essential Criteria

Degree (or higher) in Genomics, Molecular Biology, Bioinformatics, Microbiology, Biomedical Science, or a related discipline
Typically, 4–5 years' experience working in molecular genomics or sequencing laboratories, experience working at BSL2
Strong hands-on experience with DNA extraction, PCR, and sequencing platforms
High standards of contamination control and laboratory discipline
Excellent documentation, traceability, and record-keeping skills
Experience working within quality-managed or regulated laboratory environments
Confidence in laboratory best practice

Desirable Experience

Experience working with environmental or fungal genomics samples
Hands-on use of EPI2ME or similar real-time sequencing analysis tools
Familiarity with ISO 17025 or laboratory quality management systems
Experience with laboratory automation and optimisation
