* 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.
* Hands‑on experience of HPLC with Empower software is strongly preferred.
* Experience with some or all of the following techniques would be highly advantageous: HPLC, UV spectrophotometry, FTIR, compendial testing, excipient testing, loss on drying and CCIT.
* A good understanding of GMP, laboratory compliance and quality documentation.
* Practical awareness of day‑to‑day laboratory operations, including housekeeping, stock control, reagent preparation, waste disposal and cleaning.
