Vacant job

Do you want to work in a group with a good team spirit and strong support from managers and colleagues? Are you passionate about working for a better environment and a long-term sustainable society? Then the position of Laboratory Technician at SGS might be for you!

About the role

Every analysis performed has meaning and is part of a story: From whether drinking water is safe to drink; whether our lakes are safe to swim in; whether a land area is safe to build on or needs remediation first. Do you want to help protect public health and contribute to finding answers for our customers?

On our preparation department, samples are prepared and finalized before analysis. This is mainly done through sample splitting and processing in various processes to convert solid materials into analytical extracts. The main responsibility at night is to handle the various express samples that arrive in the evening and ensure they are prepared for our analyzing departments so that our customers receive the results the following day. We do this with a great sense of pride and always with a high focus on quality and delivery reliability through well-established routines. In addition to express samples, we handle samples that come in and follow our flow with normal response times. There is a good atmosphere and team spirit in the work group; here we help each other to solve a common task, we have an open dialogue and place great value on good employee relations.

Within the group, there are good opportunities for development over time, through training in new tasks within the department's area of responsibility. You will be introduced by your assigned mentor who, together with you, is responsible for your training.
