Curious about how engineering can shape the future of medicine?


Looking for your first industry role where your ideas can genuinely make a difference?


Eager to be hands-on with robotics, real-world R&D, and next-gen biotech tools?


Our client, a forward-thinking and fast-growing biotechnology company, is inviting a curious, driven and technically-minded graduate to step into an exciting entry-level opportunity as a Research Engineer. If you’re eager to apply your academic knowledge to real products used in cutting-edge biomedical innovation, this could be your perfect launchpad.


Why This Role is Great

  • Get hands-on with robotics: Prototype hardware, test new designs, and help develop advanced fluid handling tools that support gene editing and drug discovery.
  • Work across disciplines: Collaborate with both engineers and biologists to explore how technology can better serve modern science.
  • Contribute to real-world R&D: Play a vital role in small-scale product development inspired by real user needs. From improving fluidics to exploring replacements for specialised materials, your work will have tangible impact.
  • Grow with the company: As you gain experience, you’ll have opportunities to support customers and get involved in exciting new product concepts.
  • Join a collaborative environment: Work closely with experts and innovators in a company that values curiosity, initiative and continuous learning.


About You

You're ready to take what you've learned, whether from a recent degree or an academic project, and bring it to life in a practical, fast-moving setting. You'll be supported by a tight-knit team as you build on:

  • A degree in engineering, physics or a related technical field (2:1 or above)
  • A solid understanding of fluid dynamics
  • Experience with research or development, whether through an industrial placement, internship or a challenging final-year project
  • A desire to build and test, with interest in both physical prototyping and software-based problem-solving


You’ll also have the chance to work with:

  • Robotics such as building and programming systems
  • C++ or Python to develop your coding and automation skills
  • Modern R&D techniques through real-life product development and problem-solving


The Offer

  • Salary: £30,000 to £40,000 depending on experience
  • Contract: Full-time, permanent
  • Location: Primarily on-site with some flexibility for remote work


Benefits:

  • Additional leave
  • Company pension
  • Sick pay
  • Casual dress code
  • A collaborative, knowledge-sharing culture


The Hiring Journey

  • First Interview (In Person): 1 hour including a short technical presentation on a past R&D or development project and Facility tour and Q&A
  • Second Interview (Virtual): 30-minute discussion with the CEO and a senior team member


Inclusion & Diversity

We and our client are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all applicants. We welcome candidates from all backgrounds and are especially supportive of those who are underrepresented in engineering and biotech. If you're excited by this opportunity but your experience doesn't align perfectly with every wish-list item, we still encourage you to apply. You could be just the person we’re looking for.


Ready to launch your career at the cutting edge of science and technology?

Apply now to bring your curiosity, problem-solving skills and energy to a role where every project helps shape the future of biomedicine.

Where to Advertise Biotech Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise biotech jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards, academic networks and trade channels that reach biotech R&D and bioprocessing talent. The candidate pool spans life scientists, computational biologists, regulatory specialists and biomanufacturing engineers — each with distinct professional networks and job search behaviours. General job boards reach a broad audience but lack the specificity that biotech professionals expect. Specialist platforms, academic channels and sector-specific communities each serve a different part of the market. This guide, published by BiotechnologyJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise biotech roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Biotech Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Biotech Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the genomics, cell therapy and AI-driven drug discovery hiring trends shaping UK biotech careers. Biotechnology is creating jobs at a rate that few other sectors can match. New disciplines are emerging from research labs and entering commercial hiring pipelines, existing roles are fragmenting into deeper specialisms, and the technologies driving it all — from AI-assisted drug discovery to next-generation gene editing — are advancing faster than the workforce can keep pace with. For job seekers, this creates an unusual challenge. In most industries, career planning means navigating a relatively familiar landscape and identifying where your skills fit. In biotech, that landscape is being actively redrawn. The roles generating the most hiring activity in 2028 may look quite different from the ones appearing in job adverts today. That's not a reason to feel overwhelmed — it's a reason to get informed. The candidates who thrive in this market aren't always those with the longest CVs or the most letters after their name. They're the ones who understand where the sector is heading: which disciplines are gaining commercial traction, which technologies are driving employer demand, and how the definition of a "biotech job" is expanding well beyond traditional pharmaceuticals and research roles. This article breaks down what the UK biotech jobs market is likely to look like over the next three years — covering emerging job titles, the technologies reshaping hiring, the skills employers are prioritising right now, and how to position your career ahead of the curve rather than behind it.
