Scientist
Loughborough
Salary: 29,500 per annum
Initial 12-month temporary contract
36.25 hours per week, Monday to Friday, based fully on site
Do you have a degree in chemistry, physics or engineering, and want a role that's genuinely hands-on rather than 100% stuck behind a desk? Our client, a specialist in construction products and testing, is looking for a Scientist to join their fire test laboratory team initially on a temporary basis.
This is a UKAS accredited facility carrying out a range of fire testing services that help keep buildings and the people in them safe. No two days look the same: one minute you could be setting up a test rig, the next analysing results and writing up reports, or speaking directly with a customer about how their test is progressing. It's practical, physical work, so you'll need to be just as comfortable using lifting equipment, a broom and shovel as you are in front of a laptop or in front of a customer. Teamwork is a big part of how this lab operates, so you'll be working closely with colleagues day to day.

You'll be joining a lab that takes real pride in the standard of its testing, with a team that backs each other up and gets involved. If you like a mix of technical and physical work and want to build genuine experience in a hands-on industrial environment, this is a good place to do it.
