Supplier Quality Engineer - Medical Devices - Oxford

A well‑funded and rapidly growing medical devices company in Oxford is seeking a Supplier Quality Engineer to support the management and development of its supplier base, ensuring that all goods entering and leaving the business meet the required standards. Newton Colmore is recruiting for this role exclusively, so applications must be made directly through us.

In this position, you will be responsible for the continual evaluation of existing suppliers, the identification of new suppliers and the ongoing monitoring of supplier performance. You will ensure compliance with ISO 13485, manage CAPAs, apply your quality expertise to design‑for‑manufacture considerations and take on the broader responsibilities expected within a supplier quality function.

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

The technology being manufactured is genuinely industry‑disrupting and has the potential to improve the lives of thousands of people worldwide. The company has secured significant funding due to the success of its device, providing long‑term stability and a strong platform 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 transformative medical technology.

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)

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.
