Oversee the regular upkeep, calibration, and maintenance of laboratory equipment, ensuring all instruments are functioning properly and compliant with internal standards.
Coordinate equipment servicing, troubleshooting, and vendor support as required.
Support the onboarding and training of new staff, co-op students, and research assistants, including lab orientation, processes, and best practices.
Act as a go-to resource within the lab, providing guidance on procedures, equipment usage, and general lab operations.
Assist in maintaining SOPs, documentation, and lab standards to ensure consistency and reproducibility.
Coordinate and facilitate communication between the R&D team and senior leadership.
Support project planning, budgeting, and resource allocation across multiple R&D initiatives.
Monitor lab operations to proactively identify gaps, inefficiencies, or risks, and implement improvements.
Provide hands-on scientific support where needed, including assisting with experiments, troubleshooting, and general lab work.
Maintain a safe, organised, and positive working environment within the lab.

Skills and Qualifications:

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Chemistry, or a related scientific field.
Hands-on laboratory experience, ideally including PCR, molecular biology, or general wet-lab techniques.
Strong organisational skills with a demonstrated ability to build and manage systems, workflows, and processes.
Experience with lab inventory management, ordering, and vendor coordination.
Ability to balance scientific work with operational responsibilities.
Strong communication skills, with the ability to support and guide team members at different levels.
Comfortable working in a fast-paced, evolving startup environment.
Proactive, resourceful and solutions-oriented mindset.
High attention to detail and ability to manage multiple priorities simultaneously.

BONUS:

Experience setting up or scaling laboratory operations.
Familiarity with inventory management systems (e.g., Sortly, LIMS, or similar tools).
Experience supporting junior staff, co-op students, or onboarding process.
Exposure to project budgeting or resource planning in an R&D environment.
