Are you organised, comfortable working in a fast-paced environment and confident using IT systems to process orders and paperwork?
 
We are looking for a Warehouse and Lab Technician on behalf of a specialist chemical business based in Elland.

Working as part of a small team, you will help to prepare and dispatch chemical samples accurately, ensuring each client's individual requirements are followed.
 
This is a varied, hands-on role that combines warehouse duties, sample preparation, administration and customer service.
 
 
The Role

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Repacking and decanting chemical samples.
  • Locating products within the warehouse and selecting the correct items for each order.
  • Processing sample requests using the company's IT system.
  • Generating delivery paperwork.
  • Creating, amending and printing product labels.

  • Optional private health insurance.
  • Discretionary company-wide bonus scheme.
  • Career development and training opportunities.
  • Mental health, menopause and counselling support.
