Customer-focused microbiologist for a microbiological laboratory – create value with your expertise

Do you want to use your scientific background to make a real difference – every day?

In our microbiological laboratory we work with analyses that contribute to food safety – and we need you who both want to take responsibility and be part of developing our methods and processes.

There is high activity in the laboratory and several exciting projects in the pipeline. Therefore we want to strengthen the team with yet another microbiologist who wants to take responsibility, create momentum and help develop both methods and solutions in close collaboration with colleagues and customers.

Do you want to help shape the laboratory work of the future?

We are looking for an experienced and action-oriented microbiologist who takes responsibility, makes decisions and translates professional knowledge into solutions that work in practice. You will become a key person in the team and will help ensure high professional quality as well as a strong link between the analytical methods and daily production in the laboratory. Here you will have the opportunity to make your mark and make a difference – for the laboratory, colleagues and our customers.
