Looking for a Hands-On Role Where Your Work Makes a Difference?

Do you enjoy practical work, thrive in a team environment, and take pride in accuracy and attention to detail?


At Bureau Veritas Commodities, we're looking for a Hot Area Laboratory Technician to join our Metals & Minerals Division in Witham. This is an excellent opportunity to build a long-term career within a global business, with full training provided and no previous furnace experience required.

If you're reliable, safety-conscious, and looking for a role that's more active than a traditional laboratory position, we'd love to hear from you.


What You'll Be Doing

Working within our furnace area, you'll play a vital role in preparing samples for laboratory analysis by:

  • Accurately weighing and preparing samples.
  • Mixing samples using specialised equipment and extracted cupboards.
  • Loading samples into crucibles and operating furnace processes.
  • Melting materials and pouring small quantities into moulds.
  • Handling materials safely using pump trucks and equipment.
  • Maintaining a clean, organised and safe working environment.
  • Following strict quality, safety and environmental procedures.

This is a varied, hands-on role where precision, teamwork and attention to detail are essential.


What We're Looking For

You don't need previous furnace experience—we'll provide full training. We're looking for individuals who have:

✅ Excellent attention to detail
✅ A positive and reliable approach to work
✅ Good communication and teamwork skills
✅ Flexibility to work rotating shifts
✅ GCSE Maths or Science (Grade C/4 or above)
✅ A full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle

Whether you're looking for your first step into a laboratory environment, a career change, or an opportunity to join a world-leading organisation, we'd love to hear from you.


Why Join Bureau Veritas?

At Bureau Veritas, we invest in our people and provide opportunities to develop and grow within an international business.


Benefits Include:

  • Competitive salary
  • 16% shift allowance
  • Company pension scheme
  • Generous holiday entitlement
  • Ongoing training and development
  • Career progression opportunities
  • Employee benefits and wellbeing support
  • The chance to work for a globally recognised leader in Testing, Inspection and Certification
