documenting and compiling data from various lab experiments for review and interpretation together with your manager/supervisor
communicating your results and observations to your manager/supervisor and other co-workers
You will put your technical knowledge and skills to work on intellectually challenging problems, whilst improving your team working and leadership skills through practical experience.
Your Learning & Development will be focused in a number of different ways – through on the job practice & experience, mentoring, coaching and guidance from colleagues, and through formal classroom or online trainings where relevant, for both you and the project(s) you will be working on.
