Senior Process Operator

Today, Lonza is a global leader in life sciences operating across five continents. While we work in science, there's no magic formula to how we do it. Our greatest scientific solution is talented people working together, devising ideas that help businesses to help people. In exchange, we let our people own their careers. Their ideas, big and small, genuinely improve the world. And that's the kind of work we want to be part of.

We are experiencing an increased demand in this area and as part of Lonza's Ibex Dedicate model, new BioConjugation suites were built out within a pre-existing shell.
