Lab Technician – Extraction & Analytical Lab

At Supernormal Greens, we develop high-performance active ingredients and botanical extracts for applications in cosmetics, nutraceuticals, and pharma. Our platform combines controlled plant cultivation with advanced extraction and analytical capabilities.

As a Lab Technician at Supernormal Greens, you will be responsible for executing and supporting extraction and analytical workflows, while ensuring that the lab operates at a high technical standard.

This is a hands-on role with significant ownership, where you will manage both daily lab activities and the performance of our analytical and extraction setup.

Key Responsibilities

Perform extraction of plant materials using lab-scale methods.
Conduct analytical measurements, including:

Spectrophotometric assays
HPLC
LC-MS

Take full responsibility for lab equipment, including:

Calibration
Maintenance
Troubleshooting
Performance monitoring

Ensure reliable and reproducible execution of analyses and extraction processes.
Support method development and optimization in collaboration with the R&D team.
Maintain structured documentation of experiments, protocols, and results.
Contribute to building and improving lab workflows and standards.

Profile & Requirements

Master’s degree in Analytical Chemistry, Chemistry, Biotechnology, or a related field.
Hands-on experience from an analytical or extraction lab environment.
Experience working with:

HPLC and/or LC-MS
Spectrophotometric methods

Experience with lab equipment calibration, maintenance, and operation.
Ability to execute structured lab work with high accuracy and consistency.

Who You Are

Curious and motivated to learn and explore new methods.
Comfortable working in an R&D environment with evolving processes.
Hands-on, responsible, and detail-oriented.
Able to balance execution with continuous improvement.

What You Will Be Part Of

You will be part of the R&D team, working closely with scientists and engineers to develop new extraction processes and analytical methods. Your work will directly contribute to both internal research and commercial client projects, making you a key part of building our next-generation botanical active ingredient platform.

Your Leader

You will report to Erik Lundgren, co-founder and Head of R&D at Supernormal Greens.

Working with Erik means working close to the core of how new ideas become real. He leads from the front in a fast-moving R&D environment where the goal is not to protect old assumptions, but to test, learn, and build what actually works.

As a manager, Erik combines high expectations with trust and room to grow. He values ownership, curiosity, and practical problem-solving, and gives people real responsibility early.

His leadership is shaped by three innovation principles:

If it cannot be repeated, it does not count – results must be reliable and reproducible.
The plant always reveals the truth – decisions are driven by data, not assumptions.
Fast iterations beat slow certainty – progress comes from testing, learning, and adapting quickly.

That means you will be encouraged to move forward, run experiments, learn from the outcome, and adjust quickly. You will not be expected to have every answer from the start, but you will be expected to engage fully, take responsibility, and keep improving.
