• Your first task? Get to know Microsoft Dynamicsinside and out. Using this system, your responsibilities will include:
  • Creating and tracking purchase requisitions
  • Tracking cases from both customers and internal requesters. This ranges from recording samples in Dynamics and creating the appropriate analysis sheets for the lab technicians to verifying that all requests are clear and accurate.
    
    
• You are the main point of contact for external laboratories:
  • You arrange collections, register analysis requests in their ERP system, and ensure results reach the right person.
  • For each analysis or project, you carefully select the most suitable partner so we can always rely on top quality and an optimal approach.
    
    
• You are a vital link in our team:
  From the lab to Water Management and from Sales to SHEQ (Safety – Health – Environment & Quality): you make sure everyone has the right information. Missing something? You proactively chase it down and ensure everything is processed correctly and ends up in the right place.
  
  
• Logistics? That runs smoothly thanks to you. You keep track of inventory, make sure deliveries arrive where they should, and ensure samples and packages reach their destination quickly and accurately.
  
  
• You also support the Lab Manager where needed, so everything in the lab runs like clockwork.

• You hold a Bachelor’s degree in an administrative field or have equivalent experience.
• You’re naturally driven and hands-on, and you handle changing priorities with ease.

• You have solid MS Office skills (especially Excel and Word).
• You’re a team player who also enjoys working independently.

If you can't tick off all the boxes, but you do recognize yourself in our three core values Teamwork, Excellence and Devotion, then we definitely invite you to take a chance and apply!
