Lab technician apprentice – start your career at Coloplast. We are seeking 1-2 lab technician apprentices for our adhesives and wound care laboratory. Start on February 1 or September 1, 2026.

Would you like to spend 12 months among experts in your exact field? Are you up for learning from the best – and contributing with questions yourself? As a lab technician apprentice at Coloplast you get a broad education, where you come very close to our chemical, physical and biological tests. Together we make a difference.

At Coloplast we help people with special needs in relation to, for example, continence, ostomy and wound care. We place great emphasis on developing new products through user-driven innovation, and we work in a dynamic and pleasant working environment where we solve challenging tasks together with our colleagues.

At Coloplast you have many opportunities

As a lab technician apprentice at Coloplast you can look forward to an educational and well-structured training program, where you will be attached to one of the following laboratories:

In the laboratory we work with physical material tests for innovation projects, as well as for products that are already on the market. Material tests involve the mechanical and material properties of products such as stoma bags and advanced wound care bandages. You may, for example, come to work with viscosity, rheology, pH measurements and tensile testing.

A well-structured training program

During your 1-year program with us you will have an internal supervisor who helps ensure that you cover everything in your training plan and learn about all the right test methods. At the same time we would like to give you broad insight into our work, so you also have the opportunity to do an internship in the other departments for 1-2 weeks. In total there are 3 different departments that cover our 4 laboratories in Humlebæk.

We promise you an educational environment

You will be surrounded by broad knowledge and will enter a strong working environment where there is always a colleague to help you along the way when you need it. We are used to collaborating across disciplines – from experienced lab technicians to engineers and specialists. We see knowledge sharing as a strength that ensures our competencies reach widely.

What do you need to be able to apply?

Coloplast is rich in learning opportunities, so it is expected that you bring professional curiosity and have an ambition to acquire a lot of technical knowledge. You will become part of a team, and therefore it is expected that you are good at collaborating, and that you contribute where you can.
