Method Developer & Analysis Expert – Laboratory and Quality

Project overview

Do you want to take full responsibility for analytical methods, method validation, and quality in a food-grade laboratory operation?

We are looking for a Method Developer & Analysis Expert who wants to combine their expertise in analytical chemistry with overall responsibility for the laboratory's methods, equipment, and quality work.

This is a role for you who thrive close to practical laboratory operations, but also want to work with development, improvements, and quality assurance. You will have the opportunity to influence how analytical methods are developed, validated, and used in the operation.

About the role

As a Method Developer & Analysis Expert, you will have a central function in the laboratory's daily work and long-term development.

You will be responsible for developing, quality assuring, and further developing analytical methods, as well as ensuring that the laboratory's working methods meet relevant standards, regulations, and quality requirements.

The role is both operational and strategic. You will work with everything from method development and instrument validation to quality documentation, deviation management, and improvement work.

You will collaborate closely with QA/RA and R&D and serve as technical support in matters concerning analytical methods and laboratory quality.

Your main responsibilities

Method development and analytical chemistry

Laboratory quality and regulatory compliance

Instruments and laboratory operations

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for you who have a solid understanding of laboratory work and chemical analysis, with experience from a quality-controlled manufacturing environment.

You are accustomed to working systematically with analytical methods, documentation, and quality, and have an interest in developing and improving the laboratory's working methods.

We would like you to have:

It is extra interesting if you also have:

As a person

What makes the role interesting?

Here you will have the opportunity to work broadly within analytical chemistry and laboratory quality, with a clear mandate to influence the operation's working methods.

You will, among other things:

• Develop, optimize, and validate chemical analysis methods.
• Prepare method descriptions, validation documentation, and technical documentation.
• Ensure reliable, reproducible, and quality-assured analysis results.
• Contribute analytical expertise to product development and investigations.
• Ensure that the laboratory's methods and processes comply with relevant quality standards, including ISO/IEC 17025 and FDA (21 CFR Part 111).
• Develop and update SOPs, instructions, and analysis routines.
• Participate in deviation investigations, risk assessments, CAPA, and change management.
• Participate in audits and drive improvement measures.
• Be responsible for calibration, maintenance, and validation of laboratory equipment.
• Ensure correct handling of chemicals and compliance with safety regulations.
• Supervise and train laboratory personnel in methods, routines, and safety work.
• Plan and prioritize analysis work based on the operation's needs.
• University degree in chemistry, analytical chemistry, food technology, or equivalent, or at least three years of relevant laboratory experience.
• Experience in quality work within the food or pharmaceutical industry.
• Good knowledge of chemical analysis and laboratory methodology.
• Knowledge of ISO 9001, ISO 22000, HACCP, and GMP, as well as FDA (21 CFR Part 111).
• Understanding of regulations regarding chemical handling and work environment, such as AFS, CLP, and REACH.
• Experience with quality documentation, SOPs, and systematic improvement work.
• Practical experience in developing and validating analytical methods.
• Experience with ISO/IEC 17025 and working in an accredited laboratory environment.
• Experience with instrument qualification, calibration, and method transfer.
• Worked with deviation management, risk analysis, and CAPA.
• Experience in training or supervising laboratory personnel.
• Worked at the interface between laboratory operations, QA, and R&D.
• You are analytical, meticulous, and solution-oriented with a natural interest in quality and development.
• You thrive in a role where you can combine practical work with technical responsibility and where you can independently drive issues forward.
• You have an easy time collaborating with different functions, communicate clearly, and are comfortable sharing your knowledge.
• Have full responsibility for the development and quality assurance of the laboratory's analytical methods.
• Have the opportunity to influence routines, processes, and technical solutions.
• A varied role with both practical and development-oriented tasks.
• Close collaboration with QA/RA, R&D, and other parts of the operation.
• Opportunity to contribute to continuous improvements within laboratory operations.
