ALS Global

A global testing and analytical services company, ALS Global has 16 open positions in Ireland — Galway (12) and Dublin (4). ALS provides environmental testing, food safety analysis, pharmaceutical testing, and other analytical services from its Irish laboratories, with a strong western Ireland presence centred in Galway.

Hiring covers laboratory, analytical, quality assurance, and technical management functions. ALS's Galway laboratory is one of the company's most significant European testing facilities, performing environmental water and soil testing, food safety analysis, and occupational hygiene monitoring for clients across public and private sectors.

The seniority profile includes primarily mid-level laboratory and analytical positions alongside senior technical specialists and management roles. Key competencies include analytical chemistry, environmental science, microbiology, HPLC/GC-MS instrumentation, and ISO 17025 accreditation requirements.

ALS Global's Galway-centred operation is particularly significant for scientists and laboratory professionals in the west of Ireland, where opportunities in analytical science are relatively scarce. The company's work spans environmental monitoring required under EU regulations, food safety testing for Ireland's agri-food exports, and pharmaceutical analysis for the pharma industry.

For laboratory and environmental science professionals in Galway and Dublin, ALS offers competitive compensation, structured career development through a global organisation operating in over 70 countries, and meaningful work that directly contributes to environmental protection and public health. The Galway campus provides a concentration of scientific roles unusual for outside Dublin, making ALS one of the west's most important employers for chemistry and environmental science graduates and experienced analysts.
