This will include overseeing calibration programmes and technical audits to ensure our equipment and laboratory processes continue to meet the required standards.
Health and safety will be a key part of your role. You’ll develop policies, manage risk assessments, investigate accidents and near misses, and work with colleagues to promote a positive safety culture. You’ll also lead our employee Health & Safety Committee and drive actions that help maintain a safe working environment. Alongside this, you’ll oversee environmental management activities, promote best practice and support our commitment to reducing environmental impact and achieving Net Zero, ensuring we meet relevant environmental and regulatory requirements.
