This two-year, blended apprenticeship is offered in partnership with IBEC and Technological University of the Shannon (Athlone Campus). You will spend three days each week in our Athlone Centre of Excellence laboratories and two days in academic study, with approval from SOLAS.

Equipment Readiness: Calibrate and verify instruments daily to keep the laboratory inspection ready and to ensure data integrity.
Laboratory Operations: Maintain glassware and work areas to high standards, enabling efficient, safe, and compliant testing.
Materials and Logistics: Order and track consumables and chemicals so analysts have what they need to keep testing on schedule.
Raw Material Testing: Support incoming material checks to confirm quality prior to manufacturing use, reducing delays and deviations.
Compliance and Documentation: Follow GMP/GLP practices and complete accurate records to meet regulatory expectations and support audits.
Continuous Learning: Apply classroom theory in the lab, seek feedback from your mentor, and progressively take on more complex tasks that broaden your impact across chemistry, biochemistry, immunology, and microbiology workflows.
Patient and Business Impact: Translate precise laboratory work into dependable quality decisions that safeguard patients and sustain supply for those who need our medicines most.

Essential Skills/Experience:

A pass or Grade O6 in five leaving certificate subjects, two of which must be maths and a science related subject.
250 CAO points, and/or its equivalent (between 18 and under 23 years)
Candidates with a FETAC Level 5 qualification in a related field will be considered,
SOLAS Apprentice approval.

Desirable Skills/Experience:

Curiosity about laboratory science and commitment to learning in a regulated environment.
Attention to detail, strong organization, and a methodical approach to following procedures.
Basic familiarity with laboratory safety, good documentation practices, or quality systems.
Comfortable using standard office and data tools; willing to learn laboratory software.
Effective communication and teamwork skills; openness to feedback and coaching.
Any prior hands-on experience in a school, college, or industrial lab setting.

Why AstraZeneca:

Here, your work connects to a clear purpose—advancing medicines for people with rare and devastating diseases.
