Job Summary

As an Analytical Chemist, you’ll use analytical chemistry and laboratory techniques to test samples, evaluate results, and support reliable product quality in a laboratory environment. You’ll apply wet chemistry and spectroscopic analysis, operate laboratory instruments, and document work in line with laboratory compliance requirements.

Duties: Prepare magnet feedstock for experiments, including labelling, weighing, measuring, photographing, cleaning and batch preparation.

  • Prepare KOH and other approved electrolytes, reagents and pre-treatment solutions according to SOPs.
  • Set up electrochemical cells, electrodes, reference electrodes and potentiostat experiments.
  • Run routine CV, LSV, EIS and sustained-electrolysis tests under validated methods and supervision.
  • Support coating-removal and DES pre-treatment experiments.
  • Monitor and record routine parameters such as current, voltage, temperature, time and flow.
  • Collect, label and track experimental samples.
  • Support filtration, washing, drying, weighing, sample splitting and preparation for external characterisation.
  • Maintain laboratory consumables, chemical inventory, SDS records and sample traceability.
  • Perform routine instrument checks, cleaning and basic maintenance and promptly report unusual results or equipment issues.
  • Maintain accurate experimental notebooks, run sheets and electronic records.
  • Follow laboratory, chemical-handling, contamination-control and hydrogen-related safety procedures.
  • Perform quality control testing, method validation, and calibration; maintain laboratory equipment and instruments.
  • Record and manage results in laboratory information management systems, following Good Laboratory Practice (GLP), Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP), current Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMP), and applicable FDA regulations and International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) guidelines.
  • Your impact: Accurate testing and clear records help quality teams assess materials and support safe, compliant pharmaceutical products.

Essential qualifications and experience

  • Degree, diploma or relevant technical qualification in Chemistry, Electrochemistry, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, Laboratory Technology or a related field.
  • Hands-on laboratory or pilot-plant experience.
  • Strong attention to experimental detail, sample traceability and record keeping.
  • Comfortable working with chemicals, laboratory equipment and structured SOPs.
  • Practical problem-solving ability and strong safety awareness.

Highly desirable

  • Exposure to electrochemistry, electrolysis, potentiostats or DC power systems.
  • Experience with filtration, washing, drying, sample preparation or metal/powder handling.
  • Magnet laboratory, pilot plant, recycling or resource-recovery environment.
