View open roles Learn more about Labman Discover Labman's amazing Research and development team Labman’s R&D zone is a centre for experimentation, where we can prove the feasibility of new concepts and technology. Historically, the R&D facility has been used to find a solution to a one off problem for a particular customer. More recently however, we have started to develop our own hardware to make consistent improvements across a range of projects.

 Innovate and improve With endless opportunity to innovate, improve and develop new technologies, which could become standard parts of Labman systems. Rewarding work Design new technologies which can contribute to addressing worldwide demands in the environmental, pharmaceutical and medical industries. “The R&D zone is an exciting area of the business which offers the opportunity for experimentation, testing, and of course, failure. When new ideas are successful, deploying them to live projects is the best feeling in the world.” — Sam Bright Head of R&D Open positions We are always seeking talented individuals to join our team Explore all our open roles, or if you don’t see a role with your name on it, apply to our speculative application.
