The Story So Far…. You’ll rarely discover a family-founded market leader that’s managed to grow an international success story on a vision built around its people. But then, you’ll rarely discover a business like Autoglym.

The Lab Technician will assist with the design and development of new Autoglym products, from concept, right the way through to manufacture. They will perform laboratory testing and sample evaluation ensuring that all our current and new products are tested to the appropriate standards in the product brief. This is a fully onsite role due to the nature of the work and is based at Autoglym HQ in Letchworth Garden City, Hertfordshire.

Can you do it? Yes you can - if you have good attention to detail, are organised and a confident communicator who is questioning and inquisitive then this could be to position for you.
