Are you someone who enjoys hands-on experimental work and is curious about how innovative (bio)processes and food ingredients are developed and optimized?

As part of the broader R&D team at Cosun, you will collaborate with scientists, engineers, and international colleagues. You will work mainly in the laboratory and occasionally pilot plant environment, supporting process development, scale-up activities, and product innovation projects. It is a very hands-on technician job that requires one to be in the lab fulltime.

What do we expect from you as an R&D Technician?

Your responsibilities will include:

• Preparing experiments and ensuring the availability of the required raw materials, equipment, and test setups.
• Executing laboratory and pilot-scale experiments, primarily related to Upstream Processing (USP) and Downstream Processing (DSP) activities.
• Contribute to method & SOP development,
• Performing analytical measurements and supporting relevant analytical testing when required.
• Operating and monitoring process equipment such as bioreactors, centrifuges, filtration systems, homogenizers, separators, and other laboratory and pilot plant equipment.
• Accurately documenting experiments, analyses, observations, and trial results.
• Interpreting and communicating results to R&D Scientists and Process Engineers.
• Contributing ideas for improvements in processes, methods, and ways of working.
• Maintaining a clean, safe, and well-organized laboratory environment.
• Supporting the management, maintenance, and calibration of laboratory and equipment, materials, and inventories.
