- Interpret and validate analytical results, proactively identifying and resolving scientific anomalies or diagnostic discrepancies
- Operate, maintain, and troubleshoot highly sophisticated laboratory analysers, performing daily quality control (QC) checks and escalating technical issues promptly
- Actively participate in External Quality Assessment (EQA) schemes to ensure the highest international standards of analytical performance
- Contribute directly to the laboratory Quality Management System (QMS), taking part in audits, incident reporting, and continuous process improvements
- Maintain accurate, audit-ready records of all analytical work, validation protocols, and quality control data within the LIMS
- Communicate clearly and effectively with clinicians, medical professionals, and internal stakeholders to provide accurate technical advice and guidance
- Mentor, train, and supervise less experienced laboratory staff and technicians to raise operational standards across the team
