Full job description

We are seeking a motivated and detail-oriented Laboratory Technician to join our Microbiology team. Reporting to the Microbiology Section Leader, the successful candidate will play a key role in supporting microbiological and barrier performance testing for textiles, natural fibres, recycled materials, and personal protective equipment (PPE). This position offers an excellent opportunity for a science graduate with a passion for laboratory work to develop technical expertise within an ISO 17025 accredited testing environment.

The role involves preparing samples, conducting a range of microbiological and barrier performance tests, accurately recording results, and ensuring all work is carried out safely, efficiently, and in compliance with quality standards and laboratory procedures.

Work within an ISO 17025 accredited quality management system, adhering to laboratory procedures and quality requirements.
Undertake training programmes and achieve competency in designated testing methods.
Prepare microbiological media, test samples, reagents, and laboratory equipment for routine testing activities.
Set up and operate test cells and specialised laboratory equipment.
Perform microbiological testing, including bioburden determination, antimicrobial efficacy assessments, RT-PCR GMO analysis, synthetic blood penetration testing, and viral penetration testing.
Carry out serial dilutions, plating techniques, colony enumeration, and associated microbiological calculations.
Record test activities, observations, and results accurately in accordance with laboratory procedures.
Operate autoclaves for the sterilisation of media, equipment, and laboratory waste.
Maintain laboratory cleanliness through routine cleaning, decontamination, and housekeeping activities.
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.

Skills and Competencies

Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple tasks and priorities effectively.
Analytical and scientific mindset with a structured approach to problem-solving.
Excellent attention to detail and commitment to accuracy.
Good written and verbal communication skills.
Ability to work independently and collaboratively within a team environment.
Proficient in Microsoft Windows and Office applications.
Flexible and adaptable approach to laboratory operations and changing priorities.

Education and Experience

Degree qualified in Biology, Microbiology, Biomedical Science, or a related life sciences discipline.
Previous laboratory experience within a microbiology or scientific testing environment is desirable.
Understanding of microbiological techniques, including aseptic handling, dilutions, plating, and colony counting.
Familiarity with quality systems and accredited laboratory environments would be advantageous.
Ability to perform laboratory calculations and interpret scientific data accurately.

This role offers an engaging opportunity to contribute to innovative testing services while developing practical laboratory skills in a professional and quality-focused environment.
