Job description

Graduate Chemist (Shift Work) c38k

South East ABJ7589

Looking for a graduate chemistry role? Don't mind mixed shift work including nights? Have you got your own transport?

Full training given to a chemistry graduate.

An analytical chemist is urgently required to contribute to the efficient operation of the inorganic quality laboratory by the accurate and timely analysis of samples. As an inorganic chemist, you will support process and product development work, assist in customer support activities, and assist the laboratory supervisor.

Because of the nature of the shift work, this can lead to long hours (but a higher salary). Includes night shifts and day shifts on a rota.

Onsite role: Training given

Key Responsibilities

1. Knowledge of quality systems, testing methods, and equipment operation related to inorganic chemistry (e.g., IC, ICP, ICP-OES, GC-MS, XRF).
2. Recording of analytical data.
3. Development of analytical test methods.
4. Carrying out analytical projects and producing reports upon completion.
5. Analysis of samples and passing/failing products based on predetermined analytical values.
6. Calibration and standardization of instruments.
7. Developing analytical test methods through research and experimentation.
8. Generating Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) reflecting lab practices.
9. Maintaining reagent stock levels.
10. Developing knowledge of analytical instruments to enable routine operation, maintenance, and repairs.
11. Performing routine checks on consumable levels and replacing gas cylinders as needed.
12. Ensuring compliance with ISO standards and health and safety requirements.

The shift pattern is 2 days/2 nights (4 on, 4 off). Because of the shifts, own transport is recommended.

Qualifications and Experience

• Degree in Chemistry or a related field.
• Industrial chemistry background or lab experience is desirable (but training could be given to a graduate).
• Experience or understanding of inorganic analytical techniques (e.g., IC, ICP, GC-MS, XRF) from university projects or experience.
