The Institute currently houses over 400 researchers and support staff with 22 research groups and associated core facilities in a state-of-the-art research facility.

Carry out Health and Safety risk assessments and method statements and ensure both internal staff and contractors comply with these
Liaise with external contractors to repair or undertake routine servicing of plant and complete any remedial work required.
Determine and authorise the purchase of materials required and ensure that they are procured in accordance with financial regulations, on time and within an agreed budget
Co-ordinate and monitor Permit to Work system.
Issue detailed work orders, and ensure they are carried out timely and to high standards.

Communicate effectively with Institute management, science staff, team members and colleagues.

The successful candidate will possess excellent customer service skills, have great attention to detail, be able to use their own initiative and have strong oral and written communication skills.

Although not essential, prior experience of working in the research sector would be advantageous. Weekend working and being able to respond to out-of-hours call outs in the event of emergencies is a requirement of the role, so a flexible approach to working hours will be required.
