Like all success stories, our company history started with a great idea.

About the Role:

The Quality Control department plays a key role in the chain at T & R as they are responsible for testing raw materials and manufactured products, so they are ready for use or sale when required. We are the final link in the chain to ensure that our products are safe, efficacious and of the correct quality for our customers.

 

  • In QC we work towards KPI (Key Performance indicator) targets to ensure that all samples are tested in a timely manner.

 

  • Analysts must have a keen eye for detail, and they must have an accurate and precise analytical technique.

 

  • A good Analyst will be a team player who works consistently to a high standard in their practical analysis and documentation completion. The ability to work under their own initiative would also be beneficial.

 

  • Analysts must work towards the compliance standards requirements of data integrity, GLP (Good Laboratory Practice) and in accordance with pharmacopoeia testing standards.

 

The role of Analyst involves the routine QC testing of samples. These samples could be raw materials, manufactured products, or production lot stability. Analysts work in a team to ensure efficient testing of batches to meet team targets and ensure timely release. All samples are tested using a variety of pharmacopoeia test methods, including titration, HPLC, UV, IR, gravimetric analysis etc.
