Laboratory Technician

Are you looking to take your first step into a site operations role within a leading pharmaceutical environment? This is a great opportunity to join a well-established service team embedded within a major life sciences site, where you'll play a key role in keeping external service activities running smoothly day to day.

What you'll be doing

• Coordinating and facilitating visits from external suppliers and service providers on-site
• Escorting visitors around the site and ensuring all access procedures are correctly followed
• Handling associated administrative tasks including documentation, visitor records, and archiving
• Acting as a reliable point of contact between the on-site team and external partners
• Ensuring all activities are carried out in line with site compliance and quality requirements

What we're looking for

• At least 1 year of exposure to a laboratory or regulated life sciences environment — this can include an apprenticeship, internship, or work-study programme
• Comfortable with administrative tasks and day-to-day documentation
• Organised, reliable, and at ease working on a large industrial or pharmaceutical site
• Good communication skills and a collaborative mindset
• Valid Category B driving licence — required for escorting suppliers around the site
• Professional level of French; good English is a plus

What's in it for you

• A foot in the door with two major names in the life sciences industry
• Real exposure to site operations, supplier management, and pharmaceutical compliance
• A chance to build your professional network within a large, dynamic organisation
• A role that complements rather than competes with longer-term career ambitions in the lab space
