At British Gypsum, we're looking for a Laboratory Supervisor to help ensure our products consistently meet the highest quality standards through routine sampling and testing.
You'll play an important role in keeping day-to-day laboratory operations running smoothly and safely. Working as part of a wider team, you'll collaborate with colleagues across performance, engineering and operations, supporting investigations and continuous improvement activities.
While predominantly lab-based, you'll also have the opportunity to get involved in wider site activities alongside your team.
What We're Looking For
- Laboratory experience, where you've had autonomy to act alone and make decisions, and conduct trials and tests regularly is preferable
- Exposure to quality and/quality control would be highly advantageous
- Experience working in a fast-paced manufacturing environment
- Excellent communications skills enabling positive relationships and effective transfer of information
- The ability to interpret data and use the results to feed into quick decision making
