I'm working with a very exciting, fast growing and innovative biotech client. Specifically a London based biotech that are expanding their team hiring a Lab Technician to help run routine sample preparation and analytical workflows in a high-throughput laboratory. This role is hands-on and best suited to someone with real laboratory experience and strong operational discipline.

  • Operate liquid-handling and core molecular biology equipment.
  • Perform routine QC, review data, and support accurate result delivery.
  • Maintain lab documentation, inventory, and safety standards.
  • Contribute to continuous improvement in workflows and operations.

You must have

  • A degree in Molecular Biology, Biotechnology, Biochemistry, or a similar field.
  • Hands-on experience with molecular techniques
    (e.g., DNA extraction, PCR, sequencing workflows, assay prep, or similar).
  • Experience working in a biotech, academic research lab, or diagnostic lab.
  • Strong communication skills
    , demonstrated through teamwork, customer-facing work, or cross-functional collaboration.

You are

  • Detail-oriented, organised, and reliable in a lab setting.
  • Curious, proactive, and comfortable speaking up to troubleshoot issues.
  • Able to work independently during focused tasks and collaboratively in a small team.

Physical requirements

  • Able to stand for extended periods and perform fine motor tasks (pipetting).
  • Able to lift and move lab consumables as required.

Package

  • Full-time onsite role (London)
  • Competitive salary based on experience
  • 40h/week (this role has a shift from 04:00 - 12:00)
  • 20 days holiday + standard benefits
  • Career progression into senior technician or scientist roles

This role will generate a lot of applicants and it is an unfortunate consequence that not every application with receive a personal response.
