What you'll do
- Support the day-to-day running of the lab, workshop, and office so the environment is clean, safe, and ready to work in
- Coordinate routine maintenance, servicing, and repairs, and act as the point of contact for equipment engineers and contractors
- Keep housekeeping and waste management on track, including consumables disposal and the tidiness of shared areas
- Maintain basic equipment records — what we own, where it is, and when it was last serviced or calibrated
- Raise purchase orders and process them through to delivery
- Monitor stock levels of lab and office consumables with the technical team, set reorder points, and place routine orders before things run out
- Track supplier lead times and delivery dates, and chase late orders until they arrive
- Check incoming deliveries against orders, and resolve shortages, wrong items, and damaged goods with the supplier
- Get quotes and set up new suppliers when the team needs something we do not currently buy
- Keep shared trackers and task lists up to date, send reminders, chase outstanding actions, and flag clearly when something is at risk of slipping
- Maintain filing and document templates on the shared drive
- Help maintain health and safety records, with guidance from the technical team
What they're looking for
- Organised and reliable — several things running at once, nothing forgotten
- You notice when something is not right and take responsibility for getting it sorted, rather than waiting to be asked
- Clear communicator — straightforward in writing, and comfortable telling a colleague at any level that something is overdue
- Confident with everyday business tools: email, spreadsheets, shared drives, calendars, and a task tracker
- Comfortable moving between physical, hands-on work and computer-based work through the day
- At ease in and around a laboratory and workshop environment — you do not need to be a scientist, but you should not be put off by a lab
- Happy in a role that is varied and practical, where the days are not identical
- Right to work in the UK
Nice to have
- Some experience placing orders, raising purchase orders, or dealing with suppliers and deliveries
- Some experience in a lab, workshop, research group, university department, or other technical setting — including as an assistant, technician, or administrator
- Basic awareness of health and safety practices in a lab or workshop
- Previous experience in a small business, SME, or startup
- Basic familiarity with an HR or people system
