JOB OPPORTUNITY: LABTECH (MANUFACTURING)

Are you a self-motivated Laboratory Technician with a strong commitment to sustainability? We are on the lookout for a team player for this hands-on laboratory role, where you will be working with our growing R&D team on cutting-edge process development in our Cambridge-based lab.

Who are we?

At Biozeroc we are on a mission to help the construction industry build a carbon neutral future. Through our proprietary technology, we tackle up to 8% of the world's carbon emissions, replacing carbon-intensive materials such as concrete.

After successfully raising VC-funding and securing over £1M in grant support, we are now expanding our R&D team. 

The Role: 

As a Laboratory Technician you will execute experiments, maintain detailed records of experiments and procedures and ensure lab tidiness and cleanliness. You will play an important role in ensuring that experiments are carried out on time and to high standards. This role will primarily involve improving our data collection and upscaling our in-house bio-concrete manufacturing capabilities. You will work closely with an experienced team of biologists and engineers. From time to time the lab team is required to handle large or heavy items, such as 25kg bags of aggregate, so the role does have a physical aspect to it.  

Key Responsibilities:

  • Identify and Implement process improvements

  • Produce, characterise, and test material samples

  • Maintain detailed records of procedures

  • Develop new and improved training materials

  • Maintain lab tidiness and cleanliness, including waste disposal

Successful Applicants Will Have the Following:

  • A real passion to work in a purpose-driven company, with big ambitions to tackle global emissions

  • Experience working in a lab environment and the desire to get stuck-in and make a difference

  • Some experience working within a manufacturing environment is desirable

Key Traits to Succeed in This Role:

  • Can-do attitude: remain flexible to meet the evolving needs of the business

  • Problem solving: ability to identify issues in manufacturing procedures and offer solutions 

  • Detail-oriented: able to spot discrepancies and report them to the team

  • Curiosity: asking questions to improve existing processes & willingness to learn new skills

  • A team player with good communication skills

  • A desire to continually learn and improve 

Diversity and Inclusivity:
We celebrate diversity and are committed to maintaining an inclusive work environment, where everyone feels empowered to contribute to our company’s success. We welcome applications across a range of backgrounds as we believe that the best innovations are created from a broad cross-fertilization of knowledge.

Our Offer:
💸 Salary between £22,000-£28,000 (depending on experience)
