QC Analyst (Chemistry)

This Analytical Chemistry/QC Analyst role supports quality control activities within a GMP-regulated laboratory environment. The role focuses on routine chemical testing, documentation, and compliance to ensure products meet established quality and regulatory standards. Working as part of a shift team, you will contribute to overall product quality by following approved procedures and supporting continuous improvement initiatives.

Key responsibilities

• Perform routine chemical analyses in accordance with approved methods and GMP requirements

• Support quality control testing of raw materials, in-process samples, and finished products

• Accurately document test results, deviations, and investigations in line with regulatory standards

• Assist with laboratory equipment operation, basic maintenance, and troubleshooting

• Follow standard operating procedures (SOPs), safety guidelines, and shift handover processes

• Support investigations into out-of-specification (OOS) or atypical results under supervision

• Contribute to continuous improvement activities within the laboratory

• Collaborate with colleagues in Quality, Manufacturing, and other departments as required

Skills and experience

• Approximately 1 year experience working in a GMP-regulated analytical or QC laboratory

• Hands-on experience with routine analytical techniques (e.g. HPLC, GC, titration, wet chemistry, or spectroscopy)

• Understanding of GMP principles, data integrity, and regulatory documentation

• Ability to follow validated methods and SOPs with a high level of attention to detail

• Basic troubleshooting skills and willingness to learn new techniques and systems

• Strong written and verbal communication skills for accurate documentation and reporting

• Ability to work effectively as part of a shift-based team, with flexibility to support operational schedules

• Ability to work well within a team while developing confidence to work independently on routine tasks

Qualifications

• Degree or diploma in Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, or a related scientific discipline (or equivalent laboratory experience)

Working style

At this level, you will apply foundational technical knowledge and early-career laboratory experience to perform routine analyses with increasing independence. You will receive guidance and mentoring from more experienced colleagues while developing confidence in GMP practices, documentation, and laboratory operations. Accuracy and attention to detail are critical, as work performed directly supports product quality and compliance within a shift based laboratory environment.
