Job description
Who are ReVentas ?
At ReVentas, we aim to be a leading part of the global movement to tackle plastic waste pollution. Our ground-breaking recycling technology tackles the most challenging waste plastic our society produces. By purifying this waste plastic of all contaminants, we allow it to go back into products as a virgin-like polymer, thereby closing the gap in the circular economy and allowing companies to access truly sustainable plastics.
ReVentas is a young and vibrant start-up with secure funding and big ambitions. If you would like to be part of a dynamic team working to develop the next generation of recycling technologies and make a real impact on society, you will find a home with us.
The role – Lab Technician
We are looking for a highly ambitious and motivated lab technician to support our laboratory R&D efforts. You will be working to support scientists and engineers on cutting-edge development of a new technology to make plastics more sustainable. You will be fully supported as you take ownership of project tasks and help to find solutions to technical challenges. The role will be heavily hands-on and those who succeed will be excellent working alone and as part of a team. You will be a self-starter who can work without detailed instruction and you’ll notice the things other people would not. This opportunity would suit someone excited to learn from our experienced team and with an interest to grow with the company.
