The QC lab is divided into five departments: two departments for quality control, two departments for environmental analysis, and one department for bioremediation analysis. The staff's schedule is designed so that they rotate and work one week in each department, which means that the work is very varied.

Additional tasks included in the role are to participate in root cause analyses, help develop and document standardized working methods, and engage in improvement work by participating in rounds and risk analyses. You will also participate in internal control meetings and weekly meetings and initiate and write reports on environmental deviations and incidents.

We expect you to have

• Completed secondary education, a 3-year technical or scientific background, preferably within process industry & chemistry.
• Good knowledge of Swedish and English in both spoken and written form.

It’s a plus if you have

• Experience from laboratory work is highly meritorious.

Who you are?

To be successful in this role, collaboration skills and a holistic perspective are required to act proactively. We are looking for someone who is structured, meticulous, has teamwork skills, is flexible (adaptable and handles stress), as the operation has high-quality demands.

You are positive, open, creative, proactive, enjoy working in a fast-paced environment, and are thorough and organized. Being able to work both independently and in a team is important, as is having a customer-focused attitude, since the QC laboratory has both external and internal customers.
