• Support excipient testing, including compendial identification testing, as part of routine laboratory activities.
• Undertake additional laboratory testing such as loss on drying and CCIT where required.
• Review, record and trend analytical data in accordance with GMP requirements and internal procedures.
• Assist with method transfer, validation, stability studies and laboratory investigations as needed.
• Maintain excellent laboratory housekeeping standards, including stock management, reagent preparation, cleaning and waste disposal.
• Ensure all documentation and laboratory activities are completed accurately and compliantly.

To succeed in this role, you will bring proven analytical chemistry experience from an industry setting and a practical, hands-on approach to laboratory work.

Candidate Requirements

• Previous experience in an analytical chemistry or QC laboratory role within industry is essential.
• Hands-on experience of HPLC with Empower software is strongly preferred.
• Experience with some or all of the following techniques would be highly advantageous: HPLC, UV spectrophotometry, FTIR, compendial testing, excipient testing, loss on drying and CCIT.
