Document all findings meticulously in the Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) and contribute to DePoly's Quality System.
Ensure all equipment calibration and maintenance logs are up-to-date to support regulatory compliance and audit readiness.
Promote a culture of safety - adhere strictly to HSE protocols, particularly when handling chemicals, powders and other polymer samples and manage hazardous waste disposal in accordance with site regulations.
