- Maintain records in accordance with ISO 17025 principles and company quality procedures. Assist in the maintenance, performance and renewal of laboratory instruments and of the ISO 17025 calibration facilities to deliver high accuracy measurement services.
- Contribute scientifically to the preparation of research tenders.
