The Role

The lab technician will work in our own Material Science laboratory to analyse and test our self-developed and produced packaging material. The laboratory is already equipped with various analytical instruments, e.g., for barrier tests of oxygen and water vapour, heat sealing and tensile testing, and will further expand in the future.

This role reports to Imke de Grahl, Lab Operations Lead, and has key stakeholder relationships with team members throughout the company and occasionally external suppliers.
