Role: Laboratory Technician

Salary: Up to £30K

Hours: 7.5 hours – Monday - Friday, flexible start time

Are you a self-motivated Laboratory Technician? Would you like to become one?

Come join our team at Berg Minerals UK Ltd; as a Laboratory Technician you will have the potential to develop towards scientist level within the paper and board Science & Technology team at our Par Moor Centre in St. Austell.


Initially the role will be a hands-on lab-based role, but over time could develop to include reporting responsibilities and ultimately project leadership.

The role: is broad in scope and diverse in terms of the day to day work element, these can include:

  • Preparation and characterisation of raw materials such as pigment slurries, coating compositions, or pulps.

  • Testing and analysis such as rheological measurements, barrier testing, characterisation of paper and board surface properties.

  • Compilation of test data in a user-friendly format (Google sheets or excel).

It is expected that the successful candidate will quickly become proficient in a broad range of practical skills while also developing an understanding of the purpose and significance of each test.

What’s in for you?

Berg Minerals UK Ltd is part of a new company that will be formed from the divestment of Imerys' paper and board business. This new company is a €400 M revenue global business with approximately 1000 employees with 24 industrial sites in Europe, Asia and the Americas which primarily serve the paper and board industry.
