Chemical Laboratory Technician - Temp to Perm

Teknek was founded over 35 years ago in the UK and designs and produces specialised equipment which removes particle contamination from a wide range of materials used in modern manufacturing. Particles cause defects during manufacturing processes, and as such they can have an adverse effect on production yields as well as in field failures.

Teknek invented the contact cleaning concept and its technology is used in a range of industries from PCB production to flat panel manufacture, medical products to printing and packaging.

Teknek requires an experienced Chemical Laboratory Technician to be based within our suite of labs, to support the ongoing development and testing of new products.

You will report to the Technical Director and work alongside Teknek’s existing laboratory staff to provide laboratory development of new products.
