The engineering team is multi-disciplinary and works together across full project lifecycles. You’ll be designing and developing electrical systems and controls — everything from schematics and layouts to BOMs and documentation — using EPLAN. The role spans the full lifecycle, from initial spec to occasional site commissioning. You’ll work closely with mechanical, software, and process engineers to deliver integrated solutions to regulated clients.

Key details:



£45–50k depending on experience

*

Hybrid working (home on Wednesdays and Fridays)

*

Flexible hours, with a 1pm finish on Fridays

25 days holiday + bank holidays + 3-day Christmas shutdown

*

Income protection & EAP (includes GP access, mental health and wellbeing support)

*

Legal & General pension (4% employer / 4% employee)

*

Death in service (4x salary)

*

RAC breakdown cover

You'll need:

*

Experience designing industrial electrical systems

*

Proficiency in CAD (EPLAN preferred)

*

Understanding of control systems and ideally some knowledge of pneumatics

*

Comfortable with regulated environments.

*

Willingness to occasionally travel for commissioning or support

*

Willingness to support on-site testing and occasional UK/international travel

This is a unique opportunity to work on equipment that makes a real-world difference, in a company that looks after its people. If that sounds like your thing, get in touch.

You could be right for this Electrical Design Engineer position if you've previously worked as an Electrical Engineer, Electrical Proejct Engineer, Electrical Systems Engineer, Control Panel Design Engineer, Electrical CAD Engineer and Electrical and Controls Engineer.

How Many Biotechnology Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Biotech Job?

If you are trying to break into biotechnology or progress your career, it can feel like the list of tools you are expected to know is endless. One job advert asks for PCR, another mentions cell culture, another lists bioinformatics pipelines, automation platforms or GMP systems. LinkedIn makes it worse, with people sharing long skills lists that make you wonder if you are already behind. Here is the reality most biotech employers will not say out loud: they are not hiring you because you know every tool. They are hiring you because you understand biological systems, can work accurately and safely, follow protocols, interpret results and contribute reliably to a team. Tools matter, but only when they support those outcomes. So how many biotechnology tools do you actually need to know to get a job? The answer depends on the role you are targeting, but for most job seekers it is far fewer than you think. This article breaks down what employers really expect, which tools are essential, which are role-specific, and how to focus your learning so you look employable rather than overwhelmed.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Biotechnology Job Applications (UK Guide)

Hiring managers in biotechnology do not start by reading your CV word for word. They scan for credibility, relevance and risk. In a regulated, evidence-driven sector like biotech, the first question is simple: is this person safe, competent and genuinely capable of contributing in this environment? Whether you are applying for roles in research, manufacturing, quality, regulatory, clinical, bioinformatics or commercial biotech, the strongest applications make the right signals obvious in the first 10–20 seconds. This in-depth guide explains exactly what hiring managers in UK biotechnology look for first, how they assess CVs, cover letters and portfolios, and why capable candidates are often rejected. Use it as a practical checklist before you apply.
