Role description
Holiferm is looking for a senior laboratory technician to support the team in driving down manufacturing costs, improving sustainability, and bringing new molecules from ideation to market as part of a technology team. The role will focus on ensuring experiments and the laboratory are running smoothly, facilitating the results needed to make technical improvements to the process.
