A significant portion of the role involves daily general housekeeping across the site, including regular use of the autoclave for waste processing. You will interact with scientists across multiple research functions every day, acting as a trusted point of contact between the lab teams and the broader operations function. As the organisation grows, there is real scope for your responsibilities to develop alongside it.
