UPDATE (16/01/2017): Thank you for all the interest in this position. This vacancy has now been filled.
We are hiring! We currently have a place available for a junior mineralogist working primarily in our sample preparation laboratory and with our routine mineralogical tests.
MAIN PURPOSE
The postholder will work under supervision to assist in the preparation of sections from geological and construction materials for microscopic analysis. This is a position that will require routine operation and maintenance of precision machinery to cut, grind and polish materials. The postholder will also undertake routine mineralogical and petrographic tests under supervision, including recording and preparing samples for testing, and operate scientific instrumentation and software (e.g. scanning electron microscope, Mineralogic automated mineralogy system, optical microscopes) to analyse a broad range of materials.

This post will be based primarily at the company office at Redruth. The postholder will also be required to collect and deliver materials and use other sample analysis/preparation equipment based in the south-west region (Cornwall & Devon). Occasional visits to client sites and conferences will also be required.
To apply, please e-mail petrolab@petrolab.co.uk to request an application pack.
To whom it may concern
I’ve just seen the opportunity for a Junior Mineralogist advertised, unfortunately too late to apply. I wonder if you would be kind enough to forward me the details.
I currently work part-time as a Geology Teacher/Technician but am interested in a full-time position.
Kind regards

Good day
I would just like to find out if it is possible to apply for jobs available when i am currently a South African citizen.
I am a accredited coal petrographer.
I would like to know what my options are as there is not many vacancies available in South Africa.
Thank you in advance
Kind Regards Dwain Ströh
Hi Dwain,
Thank you for your interest in Petrolab.
However, we have since filled the vacancy at the company.
Being a South African citizen would not have stopped you applying.
Kind regards,
Chris
