• Carry out testing using techniques such as HPLC, UV spectrophotometry and FTIR
• Complete compendial testing including osmolality, pH, appearance, conductivity, density and sub‑visible particulate testing
• 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
