Testing & Development Technician

We’re recruiting a Testing & Development Technician to join a growing product development team working on fragrance, hygiene, and dispensing products used in commercial environments.

This is a hands‑on role for someone who enjoys testing physical products
, working with data, and being involved in a wide variety of day‑to‑day activities. If you’re curious, practical, and enjoy learning on the job, this could be a great opportunity.

💡 What you’ll be doing

You’ll support the testing, development, and improvement of both existing and new products
, including competitor products.

Responsibilities include:

• Carrying out qualitative and quantitative product testing
• Measuring and analysing weight loss over time and product performance

• Managing and organising product samples
• Conducting competitor product analysis
• Supporting cross‑functional teams when required
• Maintaining a clean, organised testing environment

This is a varied role where flexibility and initiative are important.

• Integrate well into a team and communicate openly
• Are confident with basic mathematics (percentages, variance, trends)
• Are comfortable using Excel or keen to learn quickly
• Take initiative and enjoy problem‑solving
• Are patient, detail‑oriented, and hands‑on
• Are open to feedback and happy to suggest better ways of doing things

Nice to have (but not essential):

• Experience in testing, quality, lab, or product development environments
• Exposure to testing physical products (any industry)
