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 position will be mostly involved in the day-to-day testing routine as well as in the conduction of individual test requests and reports to the lab manager. The position will be based in our Holm offices.

Due to the nature of this role, candidates will be expected to work onsite from our Holm office.

We are open to full and part-time candidates based on experience.

Part-time would consist of 20-25 hours per week, spread over multiple days.
