Chemical Lab Technician

We are seeking a skilled Chemical Lab Technician to join our client’s team in Eindhoven to provide hands-on support to engineers and researchers. This role is focused on executing laboratory experiments, preparing materials, and performing characterizations to generate high-quality, reliable data. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in working with chemicals and laboratory equipment, an eye for detail, and a practical, hands-on mindset.

This is a 6-month position with potential for extension.

Key Responsibilities:

• Prepare and execute laboratory experiments in line with established protocols and procedures.
  
• Perform chemical synthesis, material preparation, formulation, and characterization using a variety of techniques.
  
• Accurately collect, record, and report experimental data in a structured and timely manner.
  
• Conduct a range of physical, chemical, optical, and surface characterizations by operating laboratory equipment (e.g., rheometer, FTIR, tensiometer, white light interferometry, DMA, and other relevant techniques).
  
• Contribute to method development for laboratory equipment; prior experience is a big plus but not required.
  
• Ensure strict compliance with laboratory safety standards and best practices.
  
• Collaborate with engineers and researchers to optimize experiments and share results.
  
• Maintain a well-organized laboratory environment and properly handle all chemicals and materials.
