3CR Bioscience Ltd is a specialist life sciences company headquartered in Harlow, delivering high-quality genotyping reagents, equipment and services to researchers and breeders across industry, academia and government sectors throughout Europe and North America.
As holders of patented technology and recognised as an “Emerging Key Player” by Prophecy Market Insights, we are experiencing sustained growth and increasing demand for our proprietary PACE® master mix enzyme production.
To support this expansion, we are seeking a dependable and detail-focused Laboratory Technician to join our manufacturing laboratory team.
The Opportunity
This role offers the opportunity to join a growing, innovation-driven organisation where precision, quality and reliability are central to everything we do.
Following training, you will be expected to work independently, demonstrate strong organisational capability, and contribute to the consistent delivery of high-quality laboratory output. Full training will be provided, including exposure to protein purification processes, with potential progression into Manufacturing and Quality Control functions.
The successful candidate will play an important role in ensuring laboratory operations are conducted accurately, safely and efficiently.
Key Responsibilities
• Labelling and aliquoting reagents and materials in accordance with written procedures
• Washing, preparing and maintaining laboratory glassware and equipment
• Preparing buffers, reagents and solutions (full training provided)
• Supporting protein purification and manufacturing processes (full training provided)
• Maintaining appropriate stock levels of laboratory consumables
• Ensuring laboratory areas remain clean, organised and compliant with safety standards
• Completing documentation and maintaining accurate laboratory records

Person Specification
Essential
• Excellent attention to detail and high levels of accuracy
• Demonstrable reliability and punctuality
• Ability to follow written and verbal instructions precisely
• Strong organisational skills
• Comfortable performing routine and repetitive tasks to a consistently high standard
• Basic IT skills for documentation and record-keeping
A degree-level qualification is not required for this position.
Working Hours
Standard hours are Monday to Friday, 8:30am–4:30pm (with some flexibility).
This role requires a degree of flexibility. Approximately 20–25 days within a six-month period may require later start and finish times to support production schedules. Wherever possible, advance notice will be provided.
Any additional hours worked on these days will be balanced by reduced hours on other days within the same week.
We would also consider candidates available for a minimum of four full days per week.
