Inventory and Lab Support Assistant
Great science needs a lab that runs like clockwork.
Every calibration, every shipment, every chemical logged and stored just right - it's the invisible infrastructure behind everything we do. Get it wrong, and the science stalls. Get it right, and nobody even notices, because everything just works.
Life Scientific operates in a $250 billion global crop protection market. We reverse-engineer off-patent products with real scientific rigour - and that rigour starts on the lab bench, with the people who keep it running.
Backed by InVivo, Europe's largest agricultural co-operative, we're scaling fast across Europe and North America. Our labs are growing with us - which means the standards, the safety, and the sheer organisation behind the science all have to scale too.
We're a business that combines the pace of a start-up with the discipline of a scale-up. No politics. No passengers. Just people who take pride in doing the unglamorous work properly.
At Life Scientific, our lab depends on someone who takes ownership of the unglamorous work and does it brilliantly. Someone who notices the eyewash station hasn't been checked this month. Who chases the courier until the collection actually happens. Who'd rather fix a problem than mention it and move on.
