What does a …
coatings laboratory assistant do?
As the name itself suggests, coatings laboratory assistants work in a laboratory. They develop coating materials with new technical properties, or improve the environmental compatibility of our existing products. They don’t do this alone, of course, but rather with a team of friendly, experienced colleagues. As a laboratory assistant, you will check whether the new coating displays the desired features, and will analyse the measurement data on a computer.
