Technical Assistant

Location: Mechelen, Belgium

Duration: 16 November 2026 – 16 April 2027

Full-time (39h/week)

Previous experience at Procter & Gamble (P&G) is considered a strong asset.

For the Hand Dish Research & Development team, we are looking for a hands‑on Technical Assistant to support laboratory activities related to dishwashing product testing and evaluation. This role is primarily laboratory-based (approximately 95% lab work and 5% data management/reporting) and is ideal for someone who enjoys practical, experimental work rather than purely theoretical research. The successful candidate will work closely with scientists and researchers to prepare tests, generate reliable data, document results, and support the development of innovative hand dishwashing products.

Key responsibilities

• Prepare, execute, and monitor laboratory tests according to established procedures.
• Evaluate the cleaning performance of hand dishwashing products through practical testing.
• Prepare and soil dishes, cutlery, glassware and other test materials for cleaning performance assessments.
• Accurately collect, record, and report experimental data. Verify the quality and accuracy of generated data and report irregularities when identified.
• Maintain laboratory equipment, consumables, and testing materials.
• Support digital data capture and data management activities.
• Collaborate effectively with R&D teams and other stakeholders.
• Follow laboratory safety and quality standards at all times.
