The Opportunity
A leading UKAS-accredited environmental testing laboratory in South Derbyshire is looking for an Analyst to join its busy organics department. You'll take ownership of your own analytical work, running GC-based analysis and delivering accurate, precise data to ISO 17025 and MCERTS standards in a high-throughput production environment.
This would be an ideal second role for someone who has gained solid hands‑on experience in their first lab position and is ready for a step up.
The Role
- Perform GC analysis independently to productivity and quality specifications
- Carry out routine maintenance and performance checks on instrumentation, reporting faults promptly
- Maintain good laboratory practice and compliance with UKAS (ISO 17025) and MCERTS requirements
- Keep accurate records - batch sheets, equipment logs, training records and quality documentation
- Support quality investigations: PT results, QC charts, issues log and limit reviews
- Assist with training new team members as you develop
The Team
The organics department is split into two teams, extraction and analysis - each led by a Team Leader. You'll join a supportive, well-structured lab with on-the-job training from day one.
About You
- Some commercial lab experience - perhaps 1–2 years into your career and looking for your next move
- Hands‑on GC experience (environmental, water, food or industrial QC backgrounds all welcome)
- Understanding of UKAS/ISO 17025 working practices
- Organised, quality-focused and comfortable in a busy environment
