On siis monia syitä liittyä joukkoomme.
Kansainvälinen toimintamme Suomessa keskittyy reseptilääkkeisiin: tutkimukseen ja tuotekehitykseen, tuotantoon ja useiden kansainvälisten kliinisten tutkimusten johtamiseen. Bayer työllistää Suomessa noin 1000 henkilöä. Toimipaikkamme ovat Espoossa ja Turussa. Turun tuotantolaitos on osa Bayerin globaalia lääkevalmistusorganisaatiota, missä keskitymme pitkävaikutteisten polymeeripohjaisten hormoniehkäisyvalmisteiden tuotantoon ja jakeluun.
Haemme nyt Turun tuotantolaitoksen mikrobiologiseen laadunvalvontalaboratorioon kahta henkilöä määräaikaiseen työhön 30.12.2026 asti Laboratory Technician -tehtäviin.
TEHTÄVÄSI JA VASTUUALUEESI
• Tehtäviisi kuuluvat laboratoriossa tehtävät laadunvalvonta-analyysit, mm. mikrobiologiset epäpuhtausmääritykset ja vesianalytiikka

• Odotamme sinulta huolellista ja järjestelmällistä työskentelytapaa sekä yhteistyökykyä
• Suunnittelet ja organisoit työsi itsenäisesti ohjeita noudattaen
• Laboratoriotyöskentely edellyttää normaalia fyysistä kuntoa (työ sisältää pitkäkestoisesti staattisia asentoja ja jonkin verran toistotyötä)
• Toimiessamme vahvasti säädellyllä ja ohjeistetulla toimialalla pystyt omaksumaan ohjeiden ja määräysten sisällön ja viestit sekä kommunikoit sujuvasti suomen kielellä. Hallitset myös perusasiat englanniksi
