iSQ Recruitment are supporting a well-established Suffolk-based food manufacturer with their search for a proactive and reliable Lab Technician.
This isn’t your typical spotless, white-walled laboratory role. You’ll be working in a busy, industrial environment that can be dusty and warm at times, where the lab is located right at the heart of production. It’s a practical, hands-on position that will suit someone who enjoys being active — you’ll be moving around the site regularly, collecting samples and supporting operations to ensure everything runs smoothly.
You’ll be a small team of 2, responsible for routine testing of product intake and ensuring products meet strict quality, safety, and customer standards. While previous experience in food manufacturing or a similar testing environment would be advantageous, full on-the-job training will be provided.
* Please note: This client does not offer Visa sponsorship. Only candidates with full Right to Work in the UK and relevant / transferable experience will be considered. You must also have a full UK driving license and access to own vehicle due to the remote location.
