🚀 Kickstart Your Science Career – Lab Technician (Yeast Production) | Thurles / Templemore

Looking for your first big step in science? Want to be part of a ground-breaking start-up where no two days are the same? My client has just opened a brand-new yeast production plant near Thurles/Templemore and is turning a dairy by-product into a sustainable, non-GMO feed. Now they’re looking for a Lab Technician to join their growing team.

Why This Role Stands Out

Forget the typical lab job where you’re stuck doing the same thing every day. Here, you’ll be hands-on across all parts of the process—from setting up bioreactors to testing final products. You’ll learn fast, work closely with experienced professionals, and play a direct role in bringing an innovative idea to life.

What You’ll Be Doing (full training provided):

  • Get up to speed with existing lab methods and SOPs.

  • Help set up and run semi-automated bioreactor systems.

  • Prepare yeast seed trains from lab scale → 100L bioreactor → 2,500L fermenter.

  • Support production fermenters with calibration, cleaning & maintenance.

  • Carry out testing, analysis, and record high-quality data.

  • Manage lab stock and equipment.

  • Share results and support team members as the facility grows.

What We’re Looking For

  • BSc in Science (or related field).

  • 6–12 months’ lab experience (co-op/internships count!).

  • A detail-focused, problem-solving mindset.

  • Great communicator, flexible, and eager to learn.

  • Comfortable with shift work.

What’s In It for You

💶 Salary up to €35K DOE
🌱 Work in a start-up where your ideas and input really count
📚 Huge learning & development opportunities – far more than a standard grad/junior lab role
🤝 Flat structure and a supportive, close-knit team

Ready to Apply?

If you’re a science graduate looking for real career growth, not just a job, this could be exactly what you’ve been waiting for. Apply now and be part of something exciting from the ground up!
