About the Company

At Avaron, you get the security of permanent employment combined with the variety of working at different customers. We place specialists across everything from tech, IT and industry to project management and business support – and whatever the assignment, you have a consultant manager who is there for you and your development.

About the Role

You will join a pilot-scale fermentation environment in food technology where microbiology, biotechnology and process development are part of the same day-to-day work. The role is central to preparing and supporting fermentation trials, working closely with trial leaders, bioprocess engineers and process specialists to help activities run safely, accurately and efficiently.

You will combine practical laboratory work with quality and safety responsibilities. That means preparing cultures and media, supporting sampling and analysis during fermentation runs, and helping maintain the routines, equipment and documentation the lab depends on. It is a great opportunity if you enjoy hands-on work close to pilot operations and want to contribute to technically interesting development work.

• You will operate laboratory equipment such as autoclaves and support identification of microorganisms using microscopy and Gram staining.
• You will take samples from bioreactors during fermentation runs and perform analysis using techniques such as UV/Vis spectrophotometry, dry weight measurements, SDS-PAGE and protein analysis.
• You will write risk assessments and SOPs and help ensure that safety procedures are maintained and followed in daily laboratory work.
• You will contribute to routine lab operations, including environmental monitoring, equipment maintenance, cleaning, and stock control for chemicals and materials.
• You will support chemical inventory, registry work and ordering of chemicals.
• You may occasionally work outside regular office hours during pilot trials.

Requirements

• BSc or MSc degree in Biotechnology, Chemical Engineering or similar education.
• Minimum five years of experience from a biotechnical pilot- or industrial production facility.
• Knowledge of food safety and hygienic procedures, along with experience from the food industry.
