About This Role
This role involves delivering high-quality calibration services for process control equipment, both in the UK and occasionally internationally. Supported by a UKAS-accredited laboratory, your work will focus on the calibration of temperature, pressure, DC electrical ranges, and humidity. You’ll also perform fault-finding, adjustment, and re-tuning of control systems as required.
You will be expected to uphold strong health and safety standards, including the preparation of risk assessments when necessary, and ensure proper care of any tools or equipment used in your work. On-the-job training will be provided to support your continued professional development.
Main Responsibilities Include:

  • Calibration of process control equipment (electrical, temperature, pressure, humidity).
  • Field-based work across the UK and occasionally abroad.
  • Fault-finding, adjustment, and tuning of mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation systems.
  • Adherence to Health & Safety regulations, including producing risk assessments.
  • Ensuring tools and equipment are maintained securely and in good condition.
    What We're Looking For
    Essential Criteria:
  • Proven experience calibrating process control equipment (electrical, temperature, pressure).
  • Strong customer service orientation with the ability to communicate effectively at all levels.
  • Full UK driving licence.
    Desirable Criteria:
  • Experience working in a UKAS laboratory environment.
  • Good fault-finding skills across mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation systems (including PLCs).
  • Previous experience calibrating relative humidity.
  • Experience working in pharmaceutical or GMP-regulated environments.

Biotechnology Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Biotechnology is often portrayed as a young person’s game. White lab coats, fresh PhDs & long academic pipelines dominate the image. In reality, the UK biotechnology sector relies heavily on career switchers, mid-career professionals & people bringing experience from outside science. If you are in your 30s, 40s or 50s & thinking about moving into biotechnology, this article gives you a clear-eyed, UK-specific reality check. No hype. No Americanised career myths. Just an honest look at which biotech jobs are realistic, what retraining actually involves & how employers really think about age & background.

How to Write a Biotechnology Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Biotechnology is one of the UK’s most diverse and fast-moving sectors. From biopharma and diagnostics to industrial biotech, medtech and life sciences research, employers are competing for highly specialised talent with scarce, in-demand skills. Yet many biotechnology employers struggle with the same problem: job adverts that attract the wrong candidates. Roles are often flooded with unsuitable applications, while highly qualified scientists, engineers and regulatory professionals either do not apply or disengage early in the process. In most cases, the issue is not the talent pool — it is the job advert itself. Biotechnology professionals are trained to think critically, assess evidence and understand context. If a job ad is vague, inflated or poorly targeted, it signals a lack of clarity and credibility — and strong candidates simply move on. This guide explains how to write a biotechnology job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and positions your organisation as a serious, trustworthy employer in the life sciences sector.

Maths for Biotech Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

Biotechnology is packed with data. Whether you are applying for roles in drug discovery, clinical research, bioprocessing, diagnostics, genomics or regulated manufacturing, you will meet numbers every day: assay readouts, QC trends, dose response curves, sequencing counts, clinical endpoints, stability profiles, validation reports & risk assessments. If you are a UK job seeker moving into biotech from another sector or you are a student in biology, biochemistry, biomedical science, pharmacy, chemistry, engineering or computer science, it is normal to worry you “do not have the maths”. What biotech roles do need is confidence with a small set of practical topics that show up again & again. This guide focuses on the only maths most biotech job adverts quietly assume: • Biostatistics basics for experiments, evidence & decision making • Probability for variability, uncertainty & risk • Linear algebra essentials for omics, PCA & modelling workflows • Calculus basics for kinetics, rates & dose response intuition • Simple optimisation for curve fitting, process set points & model tuning
