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?

How to Find Hidden Biotechnology Jobs in the UK Using Professional Bodies like the RSB, BIA, BioIndustry Association & More

The UK biotechnology sector is thriving. From cutting-edge gene therapies and synthetic biology to bio-manufacturing and agricultural innovation, the demand for skilled biotech professionals continues to grow. Yet many of the best opportunities—particularly in early-stage companies, startups, and research-intensive roles—are never listed on conventional job boards. So where do these hidden biotech jobs live? Often, they’re shared through word-of-mouth, member networks, or professional communities—especially those associated with leading biotech institutions and associations. Whether you’re a graduate looking for your first role, a research scientist ready to move into industry, or a regulatory professional seeking your next challenge, joining the right professional bodies can give you exclusive access to job leads, collaborations, and insider opportunities. In this article, we’ll show you how to strategically leverage UK-based organisations such as the Royal Society of Biology (RSB), BioIndustry Association (BIA), and Biotech and Life Sciences Networks to uncover hidden jobs and build a long-term, sustainable career in biotechnology.

How to Get a Better Biotechnology Job After a Lay-Off or Redundancy

Being made redundant from a biotechnology role can come as a shock, especially when your work involves complex research, innovation, and long development cycles. Whether due to funding cuts, mergers, shifting priorities in pharma or medtech, or economic turbulence, redundancies in biotech are becoming more common. But this doesn’t have to be the end of your career trajectory. In fact, many professionals go on to find better, more rewarding roles after a redundancy. With the UK’s biotech sector still growing rapidly across life sciences, pharmaceuticals, diagnostics, biomanufacturing, and synthetic biology, new opportunities are emerging every day. This guide will help you bounce back with purpose. From mental reset and CV refresh to recruiter outreach and sector-specific job search tips, here’s how to turn redundancy into a career upgrade.

Biotech Jobs Salary Calculator 2025: Pinpoint Your True Worth in the UK Life‑Sciences Market

Why yesterday’s salary guide won’t cut it in today’s biotech landscape “Could I earn more elsewhere?” Every life‑sciences professional has whispered that question—perhaps after seeing a colleague jump to a new start‑up for a chunky raise, or hearing that a peer at a rival pharma company pocketed a surprise bonus. Yet finding a credible benchmark in biotechnology is harder than ever. The sector morphs daily: gene‑therapy breakthroughs spawn new manufacturing lines, government funds pour into north‑of‑England cell‑&‑gene hubs, & Covid‑era mRNA expertise now permeates vaccine, oncology, & even agritech pipelines. Pay bands move with each development; a salary survey printed last year is already a museum piece. To clear the fog, BiotechnologyJobs.co.uk has reverse‑engineered a straightforward, three‑factor formula that estimates an accurate 2025 salary for UK‑based biotech professionals in seconds. Feed in your role, your region, & your seniority, and you’ll have a solid figure to anchor your next pay review or job‑offer negotiation. This article spells out the formula, spotlights the forces driving wages upward, & lays out practical steps to boost your market value over the next 90 days.
