Job Description

We care about your future

E&O transitioned to a 62.5% employee-owned business (EOT) in 2024. This means that you can add value to the company's future by working hard at your job and learning new skills and enjoying the extra rewards.

An employee-owned business ensures long-term job security, transparency of organisational changes and everyone has a voice within our "One-Team" structure.

The managers and supervisors respect all the different job roles, skill levels, always demonstrating empathetic training and mentoring for all new starts and cross training of other employees for career progression.

Our professional "One-Team" culture encourages leadership and promotion from within, long-term job security and a great working environment.

E&O is continually improving productivity and efficiencies by investing in its staff, equipment, processes whilst meeting all governmental legislation around compliance of products and services.

Why are we telling you all of this?

E&O is very proud of its successful history in supplying laboratories with essential reagents for over 40 years. We are looking to attract more likeminded individuals who thrive working within a dynamic fast-moving environment whilst enjoy demonstrating a self-employed attitude.

Being an employee-owned business, a proportion of the company's profit is shared with all employees who have 12 months service, via a distribution biannual payment.

The Role: Cleanroom Production Operator

E&O Labs manufacture sterile/aseptically poured liquid & solid mediums/reagents within cleanroom environments at our two sites in Westfield, Cumbernauld and our head office of Burnhouse Farm near Bonnybridge.

We're looking to recruit hardworking, reliable Cleanroom Production Operators, to be based at our Westfield site.

A cleanroom environment protects the product from any arial or contact contamination; operators are required to wear sterile cleanroom bodysuits, hairnets, facemasks and foot coverings. The successful candidates will be trained how to operate fully automated and semi-automated production lines, manufacturing essential microbiology/virology ready-to-use mediums for laboratory diagnostic testing.

Although this fast-moving, high-energy environment can sometimes be challenging, excellent training and support is always on hand, to allow our staff to meet achievable production targets.
