The Environment Laboratory Cluster is based in NTU's School of Civil and Environmental Engineering. It consists of three laboratories:
- Chem-Analytics Lab – Key Teaching and Research Laboratory
- M-Lab – Key Teaching and Research Laboratory
- Environ Engineering Lab – Undergraduate Teaching Laboratory
These laboratories are used for both teaching and research in environmental science and engineering. It is an excellent location for education, research, and innovation. Each laboratory is distinctive in its own way and has a variety of cutting-edge analytical instruments that are widely used for research and industry services.
The incumbent will assist the Lab Technical-In-Charge in laboratory operations, safety, undergraduate laboratory sessions, research projects, and IT assistance. He or she will ensure compliance with health and safety laws and maximise and promote research staff and student safety. He or she will also oversee the budget, timeline, and laboratory safety of new research projects.
In addition to overseeing laboratory operations, undergraduate laboratory sessions, and administrative aspects, the incumbent is responsible for ensuring their seamless functioning. Finally, beyond the scope of the job, he or she will be responsible for managing the laboratory's information technology-related aspects to ensure that it is at the forefront of technological innovation.
