Bracknell, GB

Currently leading soil pH analysis for the Northern Ireland project, alongside routine analysis of UK and international soil samples, delivering aqueous-suspension pH results (soil:water 1:2.5; reported to 1 d.p.) under an SOP-controlled, high-throughput workflow samples per day).Run SOP-controlled QC and calibrations (pH 4/7 calibration; pH 9 linearity check; drift checks) and document outcomes in line with ISO/UKAS laboratory requirements.Operate automated robotic instrumentation including Mettler Toledo SevenExcellence Titrator and Mantech automated pH system; able to run multiple SOPs/instruments in parallel to maintain throughput.Prepare samples, reagents and consumables (buffers pH 4/7/9, 3M KCl electrode storage) and maintain electrode care/cleaning practices.Extract and analyse routine and project-based soil and plant tissue samples from UK and international sources, following controlled containment, disinfection, and disposal procedures, with full compliance in records and documentation.
