About Us

Celtic Renewables is widely regarded as one of the most innovative biotech companies in Europe, having developed a patented and proven process that converts biological residues from by-products and waste into sustainable green chemicals, driving the global shift to a circular economy.

Our technology has successfully reinvented the century old Acetone-Butanol-Ethanol (ABE) fermentation process, bringing it back to a global scale. As a world leader in re-establishing this process, Celtic Renewables operates from Scotland’s first biorefinery in Grangemouth, at industrial and commercial scale.

Acetone, butanol, and ethanol are found in thousands of everyday products, from cosmetics and medicines, to cleaning products and paints. By converting by-products and waste from industries such as food, drink, and agriculture into green chemicals (bio acetone, bio butanol, and bio ethanol), Celtic Renewables provides access to cleaner, greener alternatives.

Our existing plant operating at Grangemouth is the launch pad for our ambitious global growth plans. This commercial demonstrator facility is integral to the Group’s current operations (both in the production of green chemicals and in supporting feedstock trialling activities) with learnings derisking our plans to build larger scale facilities across Scotland, the UK and internationally.

Celtic Renewables are part of the Just Transition scheme in Grangemouth which makes it an extremely exciting time to join the team as we progress with plans to build for our first full-scale biorefinery in Grangemouth. Significant progress is being made on the path to sanctioning this first full-scale development project in 2026. By joining Celtic Renewables, you’ll be part of an innovative team working at a world-leading biorefinery, helping to lead the green chemical revolution.

The role

This is an excellent opportunity for an individual at the early stages of their scientific career who is looking to gain hands-on experience within an innovative industrial biotechnology environment.

Working under supervision, you will support laboratory operations, strain bank management, experimental programmes and general laboratory maintenance while contributing to the continued development of Celtic Renewables’ technology platform.

As part of our strategic growth plans, we are seeking an enthusiastic and motivated Laboratory Technician to join our Research & Innovation team. This role will be based within our laboratory facilities at Edinburgh Napier University, Sighthill Campus, supporting key research activities and helping to maintain the highest standards of laboratory operations.

Ensure compliance with Health & Safety, COSHH regulations and all laboratory operating procedures.
Communicate effectively with colleagues to ensure agreed priorities and deadlines are achieved.
Participate in team meetings and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives aligned with company objectives.
Manage laboratory consumable and chemical stock inventories and assist with ordering requirements.
Support laboratory equipment maintenance, calibration and routine checks where required.

Essential requirements

Ability to work safely and follow laboratory procedures and protocols.

Desirable requirements

Experience of microbiological techniques including aseptic technique, aseptic sampling and agar plating.
Knowledge of laboratory instrumentation such as HPLC and GC.
Experience of laboratory method development and troubleshooting.
Understanding of Good Laboratory Practice (GLP), Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and quality management systems.
Experience working within biotechnology, fermentation, chemical or life science laboratories.

What we offer

The opportunity to work with one of Europe’s most innovative biotechnology companies.
Hands-on experience within a cutting-edge industrial biotechnology environment.
Ongoing training and professional development opportunities.
Collaborative and supportive team culture.
