Our client, a global company headquartered in the UK, is passionate about maximising the potential returns from precious metals. Their products are used in sectors ranging from pharmaceuticals and natural extracts to fine and bulk chemicals, mining refineries, electronics, metal recovery and recycling industries. Their application solutions are used at all stages of research, development and manufacturing and provide cost-effective ways to help their clients accelerate research and product development, enhance and maintain product quality and optimise production returns.

They seek a laboratory-based Senior Analytical ICP (Inductively Coupled Plasma) Specialist scientist to join their small dynamic team to become their ICP-OES (Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy) super-user. This is a unique opportunity for a scientist with Platinum Group Metal (PGM) analysis experience to join a small, but busy team working in a delivery-focused environment at a high-performing company with a proven track record of developing economically and environmentally important manufacturing processes for global companies of all sizes.

Previous academic or commercial experience in an analytical role that includes PGM analysis is essential as the role holder will be responsible for training and supporting other users as well as contributing to other technical development projects, analysis and analytical method development and repeat syntheses.

This role will appeal to you if you are self-driven, conscientious and you enjoy solving problems. You will be based in Oxfordshire at our client’s leading laboratory facilities. The role offers a competitive salary, pension contributions and a comprehensive range of company benefits as well as career development opportunities for the right candidates.
