We are recruiting a full-time Cleanroom Technician to support operations at the Boulby Underground Laboratory, one of the UK's most unique and scientifically advanced research environments. This is not a standard cleaning role; it is a specialist position that plays a vital part in enabling world-class scientific research.
Responsibilities
- Work across both surface and underground facilities, maintaining exceptional standards of cleanliness and contamination control.
- Be part of a wider operational team, working closely with Mitie colleagues, scientists, and contractors in a safety-critical, highly controlled environment.
- Maintain cleanroom environments to strict contamination control standards, including carrying out both scheduled and reactive cleaning activities across laboratory spaces.
- Support surface and underground operations, and follow structured cleanroom procedures and protocols.
- Identify and respond to cleaning, maintenance, and operational risks, ensuring full compliance with health, safety, and site regulations at all times.
