Biology Technician

Are you the kind of person who loves keeping a laboratory running like clockwork? Do you enjoy being the person a team can rely on, organised, proactive, and always one step ahead?

At LEX, we’re developing ultra fast PCR diagnostics designed to transform point of care testing. As part of our growing Biology team, you’ll play a critical role behind the scenes, helping scientists move faster by ensuring our laboratories, systems, reagents, and workflows operate smoothly and efficiently every day.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone with a biology background and hands on PCR experience who enjoys laboratory operations, coordination, and organisation, who wants to contribute to meaningful diagnostic innovation without being in a research focused role.

What You’ll Be Doing

Working closely with the Head of Assay Development and the wider Biology team, you’ll take ownership of the day to day running of the laboratories, ensuring everything is maintained to the highest standards.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Maintaining Biology laboratories to ensure a safe, clean, and efficient working environment
• Managing laboratory consumables and reagents, including ordering, stock control, inventory tracking, and organisation
• Receiving laboratory deliveries and maintaining accurate stock system records
• Supporting freezer organisation and maintenance of viral and bacterial storage materials
• Carrying out and documenting laboratory cleaning and contamination monitoring activities in line with company procedures
• Supporting scientists with routine laboratory tasks including reagent preparation, lyophilisation support, and experimental setup
• Assisting with the installation, setup, and training of new laboratory equipment
• Maintaining accurate records within the electronic Quality Management System (eQMS)
• Supporting continuous improvement of laboratory systems and processes toward ISO 13485 compliance
