- Oversee all aspects of document control, implement impartiality and confidentiality agreements, and manage corrective action plans.
- Manage the calibration and maintenance of equipment, ensuring certificates are up-to-date and reviewing uncertainty of measurement and decision rules.
- Ensure health and safety compliance by maintaining chemical and consumables inventories, documenting near misses and accidents, and managing waste.
- Conduct safety floor walks, maintain COSHH and risk assessments in collaboration with the Health and Safety department, and manage team PPE and PAT testing.
- Take the lead in driving automation projects forward, including Phase 1 (booking in, reporting, storage/filing, and digital test cards) and Phase 2 (end-to-end process and paperwork reduction).
About You:
We’re seeking an organised and detail-oriented individual with excellent time management skills, thriving in a fast-paced environment. You're adept at working under pressure and driven to deliver urgent results without compromising on quality.
We're looking for someone with a friendly and positive attitude who is self-motivated and eager to contribute to the team's success.
