SRG are delighted to be supporting a successful and growing organisation in the Central Belt of Scotland with the recruitment of a QC Analyst to join their analytical laboratory team. This is an excellent opportunity for someone with strong analytical chemistry experience gained in an industry‑based GMP environment who is looking to take the next step in a hands‑on quality control role.

About the Opportunity

Working as part of a busy QC laboratory, you will play a key role in supporting analytical testing activities across a range of materials and products. The position is well suited to a candidate who is confident using analytical instrumentation, particularly HPLC with Empower software, and who understands the importance of quality, compliance and high laboratory standards in a regulated environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform a wide range of analytical chemistry testing within a GMP‑regulated QC laboratory environment
• Operate analytical instrumentation with a particular focus on HPLC using Empower software
• Carry out testing using techniques such as HPLC, UV spectrophotometry and FTIR
• Complete compendial testing including osmolality, pH, appearance, conductivity, density and sub‑visible particulate testing
• Support excipient testing, including compendial identification testing, as part of routine laboratory activities
• Undertake additional laboratory testing such as loss on drying and CCIT where required
• Review, record and trend analytical data in accordance with GMP requirements and internal procedures
• Assist with method transfer, validation, stability studies and laboratory investigations as needed
• Maintain excellent laboratory housekeeping standards, including stock management, reagent preparation, cleaning and waste disposal
• Ensure all documentation and laboratory activities are completed accurately and compliantly

To succeed in this role, you will bring proven analytical chemistry experience from an industry setting and a practical, hands‑on approach to laboratory work.

Candidate Requirements

• Previous experience in an analytical chemistry or QC laboratory role within industry is essential
• Hands‑on experience of HPLC with Empower software is strongly preferred
• Experience with some or all of the following techniques would be highly advantageous: HPLC, UV spectrophotometry, FTIR, compendial testing, excipient testing, loss on drying and CCIT
• A good understanding of GMP, laboratory compliance and quality documentation
• Practical awareness of day‑to‑day laboratory operations, including housekeeping, stock control, reagent preparation, waste disposal and cleaning
• A proactive and organised approach, with the ability to work effectively as part of a laboratory team

This is a great opportunity to join a well‑established and expanding organisation where you can further develop your analytical laboratory career in a supportive and quality‑focused environment.

If you have the relevant analytical chemistry experience and are looking for your next opportunity in a GMP laboratory environment, we would be pleased to hear from you.
