We are seeking a dedicated Microbiologist (or recent science graduate) to support a critical 12-week quality assurance initiative. This role focuses exclusively on aseptic sampling of product batches—helping to identify and prevent microbial issues in production.

-
Strong attention to detail and ability to follow procedures exactly.
-
Comfortable working independently in a production/lab setting.
-
Willingness to commit to a full 40-hour work week for the full 12-week duration.
