Supplier Quality Engineer - Femtech - Oxford

A well‑funded and rapidly scaling Femtech innovator in Oxford is seeking a Supplier Quality Engineer to strengthen and develop its supplier base, ensuring that all components and materials entering and leaving the business meet the highest standards. Newton Colmore is recruiting for this role exclusively, so applications must be made directly through us.

In this position, you will take ownership of the continual evaluation of existing suppliers, the identification and onboarding of new partners, and the ongoing monitoring of supplier performance. You will ensure compliance with ISO 13485, lead CAPA activity, apply your quality expertise to design‑for‑manufacture considerations and support the wider supplier quality function as the company scales.

This role offers significantly better balance than most Supplier Quality positions. Travel will account for only around 30% of your time, compared with the typical 50-80% seen across the industry. The position is also hybrid, allowing you to work from home two days per week, giving you greater flexibility while still remaining closely connected to the team and manufacturing environment.

Ideally, you will be a qualified Lead Auditor with experience working within an ISO 13485‑compliant environment. However, we are also open to candidates from other highly regulated sectors such as biotech or aerospace.

The technology being developed is genuinely transformative within women's health, with the potential to improve outcomes and quality of life for thousands of people worldwide. The company has secured significant investment due to the success of its platform, providing long‑term stability and a strong foundation for continued growth.

In return, you will receive an excellent starting salary, private healthcare, income protection, life assurance, a pension scheme and a generous holiday allowance, alongside the opportunity to contribute to a groundbreaking Femtech innovation.

Interest in this role is expected to be high. If this opportunity aligns with your experience and ambitions, we encourage you to apply promptly.

To discuss the position in more detail, contact Andrew Welsh, Director of Medical Devices, Biotech and DeepTech Recruitment at Newton Colmore, on (phone number removed). Alternatively, submit your CV and a member of our team will be in touch to discuss next steps

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

Advertising biotech jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. 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

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.

New Biotech Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and Global Companies Transforming Life Sciences Careers

The biotechnology job market in the UK is entering a new phase—one defined by scientific breakthroughs, targeted investment, and a growing pipeline of innovative employers. For professionals browsing BiotechnologyJobs.co.uk, the key question is no longer just which companies exist, but which ones are scaling, hiring, and shaping the future of life sciences. In this article, we explore the new biotech employers to watch in 2026, focusing on UK-based startups, scale-ups, and international firms with a growing UK presence. These organisations have recently secured funding, partnerships, or strategic backing—strong indicators of hiring momentum in the months ahead.
