Candidates should have a good degree from a UK University which
contains a high percentage of Analytical Chemistry.
They should have several years work experience, preferably in a
GLP/GMP Laboratory, of pharmaceutical and general analytical chemistry.
The experience should be 'hands-on' with the ability to discuss
the fundamental chemical reactions involved and to be able to offer
troubleshooting skills when methods or techniques do not work as
expected.
Vacancies exist in both the Chromatography Section where experience
should include Practical experience of Instrumental techniques such
as: HPLC, GC, GC/MS, GC/HS, IC, etc. and the Classical Wet Chemistry
Section where Instrumental techniques such as ICP, AAS with graphite
furnace, Karl Fischer, FTIR, UV/Vis,. are also used regularly in
addition to Colorimetry, Titrimetry and Gravimetry. Both sections
require analysts with experience of working to Pharmacopoeia and
other validated methodologies
As a lot of the work is non-routine it requires the ability to
assess methods for their suitability and to identify possible problems.
To also troubleshoot when problems occur and to be able to work
under pressure when deadlines have to be met.
The ability and willingness to handle different types of analysis
as required and to learn other techniques is essential. Full training
would be given and a personal Training Record maintained.
Candidates should be interested in business principles particularly
as applied to the costing of the various type of work and to understand
how a business operates. The Company needs to meet strict deadlines
and all staff are expected to agree to work overtime at weekends
or in the evenings if necessary.
Overall there needs to be enthusiasm and a thorough interest in
both the scientific work and the progress of the Company.
These positions offer competitive salaries, a bonus system and
good benefits.
