Within the Analytical Development department, the Testing Operations team (part of Strategic Operations) focuses on supporting production and laboratory activities. Our team of approximately 12 technicians is responsible for routine quality control, release and stability testing, and assay qualifications under a strict GMP quality system. As the team has recently expanded with relatively junior technicians, we are looking for a lab technician who is already firmly grounded in GMP guidelines and capable of performing routine quality testing independently and accurately.
Key Responsibilities
- Routine Release & Stability Testing: Independently perform release and stability testing on clinical and toxicology batches under a GMP quality system with a proactive "first time right" attitude.
Analytical & Biochemical Assays: Execute bio-analytical and physicochemical testing, including:

- Chromatographic techniques such as HPLC and UPLC;
- Cell Culturing: Culturing of cells, including passaging and seeding.
- Assay Qualifications: Execute assay qualifications and validations in GMP-qualified laboratories.
- Documentation & Data Integrity: Accurately complete and maintain digital assay run sheets, laboratory notebooks, and equipment logbooks.
- Document Maintenance: Assist in writing and updating test instructions, SOPs, and standard work instructions.
- Ownership & Adaptability: Proactively identify bottlenecks or deviations, and flexibly adapt to changing laboratory schedules and priorities.
Functie-eisen
- An MBO or HBO degree in a Life Sciences discipline (e.g., Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Microbiology, or Analytical Chemistry). (Candidates with a Master’s degree are open to consideration provided there is a clear and sustained motivation for purely operational, routine bench work).
- A minimum of 2 to 3 years of hands-on experience in a GMP-regulated laboratory environment (mandatory requirement).
- Practical experience with ELISA, (q)PCR, and/or HPLC/UPLC. Experience with cell culturing is a strong advantage.
- Experience with assay qualifications/validations and laboratory management systems (e.g., LIMS) is a plus.
- Languages: Strong communication skills in English (verbal and written). (Dutch is optional and not required
Competenties
- Ownership & Initiative: Proactive mindset; you see what needs to be done and take responsibility for your tasks.
- Flexibility & Prioritization: Daily planning can shift; you keep a clear overview and prioritize effectively under pressure.
- Curiosity & Attention to Detail: Eager to learn new assays and committed to working with high accuracy and compliance

- 25 holiday days.
- 8% Holiday Pay

WE make an CV shifting at thursday 29/10 end of day.
Please write a motivation with answering the following questions:
- How many years of demonstrable experience do you have working in a GMP-regulated laboratory, and which specific guidelines and documentation processes (such as Data Integrity, deviations/OOS) have you applied independently?
- Could you describe what a typical workday in a GMP laboratory looked like for you, and how you ensured that your documentation and working methods consistently met strict Data Integrity and GMP standards?
- What did you do when a calibration series or quality control (QC) fell outside the established acceptance criteria?
- Could you describe a situation where you took the initiative on your own to take on a task or resolve a bottleneck in the lab without being directly asked to do so?
- What is your current visa or residence status in the Netherlands (e.g., EU citizen, search year/orientation visa, or highly skilled migrant), and until what exact date is it valid?
- When can you start?
