About LabCycle

At LabCycle, we’re on a mission to turn lab plastic waste from a climate problem into a circular- economy solution. We’re a fast-moving cleantech startup, tackling one of the biggest sustainability

challenges in science and healthcare.

Our proprietary technology decontaminates single-use plastic waste from research and healthcare

labs so it can be safely cleaned, recycled and transformed back into high-grade plastic feedstock for

new lab consumables — reducing waste, emissions and energy use compared to traditional disposal

and sterilisation methods.

4.Maintain a safe, clean, and organised workspace.

5.Accurately log build progress, test data, and operational checks.

6.Provide general technical support to the engineering team as required.

Key Skills and Traits

1.A background in Mechanical Engineering (e.g., degree, apprenticeship, or relevant hands-on

experience).

2.Practical skills in mechanical assembly and familiarity with basic workshop equipment (e.g.,

hand/power tools).
