We're recruiting for a QC Technician to join a well-established manufacturer supplying high-quality products to global consumer markets. This is an excellent opportunity for someone with a scientific background and laboratory experience who enjoys working in a fast-paced, quality-driven environment.

The Opportunity

As a QC Technician, you'll play a key role in ensuring raw materials, production batches and finished products consistently meet quality standards before release. Working closely with Production and other internal teams, you'll help maintain product quality while supporting the smooth running of manufacturing operations.

Key Responsibilities

• Carry out Quality Control testing on raw materials, in-process and finished products

• Investigate and record non-conformances
• Support batch rework activities where required
• Maintain accurate laboratory records and quality documentation
• Update internal quality systems
• Liaise with internal departments to ensure products are released on time

We're looking for someone who has:

• A strong scientific background gained through education, vocational qualifications or hands-on laboratory experience
• Previous experience within a Quality Control, laboratory or manufacturing environment (preferred)
• Excellent attention to detail
• Strong organisational and problem-solving skills
• Good written and verbal communication skills
• The ability to work both independently and as part of a team
• Must be flexible to occasionally work either the 6:00am-2:00pm or 2:00pm-10:00pm shift to provide holiday cover and support the wider team.

Experience within the chemical, homecare, household, fragrance, personal care or consumer products sectors would be advantageous, but is not essential.

Please note that this position does not offer visa sponsorship. Applicants must already have the unrestricted right to work in the UK, as we are unable to support future sponsorship requirements.

What's on Offer?

• Competitive salary
• Training and career development opportunities
• Supportive and collaborative team environment
• Stable, long-term opportunity with a well-established manufacturer
