Lab Analyst

You will be responsible for the inspection of received routine samples and their distribution to various sections of the laboratory based on the type of analysis. It is crucial to communicate any abnormal samples or non-receipt of routine samples to the shift in charge in a timely manner. Adherence to standard test methods, work instructions, and compliance with Quality system procedures are essential for ensuring accurate test results. You will conduct required tests and validate the results before reporting to maintain result reliability. In case of exceptions or deviations in test results, you must promptly highlight and report them to the relevant personnel. During emergency situations, you will perform on-spot mitigation under the guidance of the shift in charge. Effective sample management, including safe disposal of leftover samples, is a key aspect of the role. Timely entry of test results in the Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) is vital for smooth operations. Furthermore, it is important to ensure the availability of analytical equipment by cleaning and maintaining them for subsequent experiments or tests. Maintaining good housekeeping in the laboratory and proper data management through accurate recording of results in various registers are essential responsibilities. Compliance with Health, Safety, Environment, and Facility (HSEF) procedures and regulations, as well as reporting unsafe acts or conditions, are paramount for ensuring a safe working environment. Continuous learning and self-initiative for training to enhance competencies, as well as participation in external training as advised, are encouraged. Specific competencies include timely execution of tasks, handling erratic changes in plans, effective sample management, identifying exceptions in test results, prioritizing activities, and complying with HSEF regulations. The ideal candidate should have a B.Sc. in Chemistry or a Diploma in Chemical Engineering, along with preferably 2 years of experience in QA/QC discipline. Relevant knowledge of test procedures, sample handling, analysis, and effective communication with shift in-charge are key skills required for this role.,
