Training Consultant

Company Description

LGC’s National Laboratories deliver a range of expert science functions and services in partnership with the UK Government, business, healthcare, and academia. We manage and operate several national laboratories on behalf of government agencies, such as the UK National Measurement Laboratory (NML), MHRA Laboratories Team and National Reference Laboratories, as well as hosting the unique function of the ‘Government Chemist’.

As home to many world-leading scientists, LGC’s National Laboratories provides a wide range of expert analytical science services and subject matter expertise to a broad spectrum of customers, stakeholders and global forums.

Our diverse range of customers includes organisations based in the UK and overseas (including Europe, North America, Africa and the Middle East) from sectors such as environment, food, pharmaceuticals and chemical manufacturing. The team’s responsibilities include:

• Delivery of high-quality training on metrology and quality assurance topics, both in person and online;
• Management and delivery of all aspects of commercial training activities including development and maintenance of training material, marketing and business development;

• Delivery of government-funded projects focusing on knowledge transfer in relation to metrology and quality assurance for analytical laboratories.

While the role is based in National Laboratories which will be relocating from Teddington to Guildford in April 2025, home-based candidates will be considered. However, ability to travel both within the UK and overseas to deliver training at customer sites is essential.
