Our love of exploration and technical expertise help us to provide our clients with invaluable insights. We source and make sense of the most relevant Geo-data for their needs, so they can design, build and operate their assets more safely, sustainably and efficiently. But we’re always looking for new talent to take the next step with us. For bright minds who enjoy meaningful work and want to push our pioneering spirit further. For individuals who can take the initiative but work well within a team.

The role

Fugro’s Environmental Services department within the Marine Site Characterisation business line is now looking to recruit an Assistant Chemist based in the Edinburgh office on a one year fixed term contract with the potential to be made permanent. You will assist with laboratory work (both organic and inorganic), ordering of laboratory materials and assisting with routine analytical analysis. The role will be laboratory based. You will perform general maintenance tasks in the laboratories including maintenance of equipment, consumables and quality control checks and you will assist more senior technicians and chemists in the management, preparation, testing and analysis of samples.

Who we’re looking for:

Degree in Chemistry, Marine Science, Environmental Science or relevant science subject.
Experience in laboratory work.
Knowledge of a wide range of analytical methodologies.
Good oral and written communication skills.
Computer literate including use of spreadsheets and databases.
An interest in the chemical analysis of environmental samples.
You have a strong eye for detail and are able to follow set procedures competently and accurately.
You would like to work for the world’s leading geo-data company.
You are looking for a company who offers excellent learning and development opportunities.

What we offer:

Fugro provides a positive work environment as well as projects that will satisfy the most curious minds. We also offer great opportunities to stretch and develop yourself. By giving you the freedom to grow faster, we think you’ll be able to do what you do best, better. Which should help us to find fresh ways to get to know the earth better. We encourage you to be yourself at Fugro. So bring your energy and enthusiasm, your keen eye and can-do attitude. But bring your questions and opinions too. Because to be the world’s leading Geo-data specialist, we need the strength in depth that comes from a diverse, driven team.

Benefits for this role include a competitive salary accompanied by an attractive package including contributory pension scheme, life assurance and private medical insurance.
Option to lease an electric car.
24 days annual leave plus Bank Holidays.
Option to buy or sell up to 5 days annual leave.

Our view on diversity, equity, and inclusion

At Fugro, our people are our superpower. Their variety of viewpoints, experiences, knowledge and talents give us collective strength. Distinctive beliefs and diverse backgrounds are therefore welcome, but discrimination, harassment, inappropriate behaviour and unfair treatment are not. Everybody is to be well-supported and treated fairly. And everyone must be valued and have their voice heard. Crucially, we believe that getting this right brings a sense of belonging, of safety and acceptance, that makes us feel more connected to Fugro’s purpose ‘together create a safe and liveable world’ – and to each other.
