Looking for more than another routine QC laboratory?
Perhaps you're spending your days carrying out the same tests on the same products, with little variety or opportunity to broaden your experience.
Or maybe you're looking for a business where Quality isn't just a support function—it sits at the heart of everything they manufacture.
We're recruiting on behalf of a well-established international manufacturer of specialist chemical products supplied into the aviation, industrial, infrastructure and energy sectors.

If you've got a strong QC background and understand wet chemistry, we'll teach you everything else.
Full training will be provided on the company's specialist equipment and testing methods.
