This variety makes the role both diverse and dynamic, requiring a flexible mindset, adaptability and a willingness to switch between different tasks and priorities.

• Work with chromatographic techniques such as ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC), using size-exclusion chromatography (SEC).
• Ensure accurate documentation, review and reporting of analytical results in compliance with GMP/GcLP guidelines and internal procedures.
• Support daily laboratory activities, including inventory, equipment status tracking, logbooks and documentation.
• Report deviations and contribute to investigations, change controls, OOS actions, CAPAs and continuous improvements.
• Participate in equipment and system validation, support improvements to analytical methods and help maintain or update SOPs.
• Share knowledge and provide training to colleagues where needed.

Your profile

• An MLO-level education in biochemistry, biotechnology, life sciences or a related laboratory discipline.
• Practical experience in a biochemical laboratory is an advantage; familiarity with the listed techniques is welcome.
• Knowledge of GMP requirements and laboratory safety; experience with GcLP is an advantage.
• Good spoken and written communication skills in Dutch and English.
• Familiarity with the pharmaceutical industry, MS Office and LIMS.
• An accurate, analytical and quality-focused approach, combined with a sense of responsibility, teamwork and willingness to learn.

We offer:

• Competitive salary, including 13th months and annual reward scheme
• 25 vacation days (based on a fulltime agreement)
