TaiSan is developing next-generation polymer electrolyte to enable Sodium Batteries 2.0 — higher energy density, safer and scalable. We are looking to recruit a Lab Technician to support our fast-moving R&D and pilot development work by ensuring our laboratory infrastructure, equipment, and safety systems operate reliably and compliantly.
In this role, you will be responsible for equipment setup, servicing, compliance paperwork, and day-to-day lab readiness. You will play a key role in ensuring TaiSan’s lab environment meets UK standards and remains safe, efficient, and audit-ready as we scale.
Key Responsibilities
Lab Operations & Equipment

Service, maintain, and troubleshoot laboratory equipment to ensure continuous uptime.
Set up new equipment and ensure correct installation, calibration, and readiness for use.
Support scientists and engineers with equipment preparation and workflow setup.

Health & Safety (H&S)

Organize and coordinate H&S trainings for team members.
Ensure safety procedures are followed and documented consistently.
Support risk assessments, SOPs, and safe handling procedures for chemicals and battery materials.
Handle and manage COSHH forms for all chemicals
Monitor the chemical storage

Compliance & Standards

Ensure all lab paperwork, documentation, and compliance records are complete and up to date.
Ensure laboratory equipment meets required UK standards and regulatory expectations.

You are an independent, rigorous scientist who takes full ownership of your analytical work from experimental design to final reporting.
You are comfortable operating autonomously and building structure where it does not yet exist. You do not wait for detailed instructions. You identify gaps, define testing standards, and proactively improve analytical workflows.
You think critically about reproducibility, scalability, and long-term product impact. You understand that data quality directly influences material decisions and manufacturing readiness.
You are disciplined in documentation, precise in execution, and uncompromising in safety standards.
You thrive in a fast-moving environment where your work directly shapes material development and commercialization strategy.
