Our Client is seeking a Junior Electrical Engineer to join them on an initial 6 months contract (with the possibility of extension/ a permanent position workload dependant).

About the Client:

Our Client is a small, growing and ambitious engineering firm. They work across multiple sectors, including: building services, pharmaceuticals, Water/ wastewater, defence, and waste to energy. This position offers an opportunity for a Graduate Electrical Engineer/HNC-qualified or Junior Electrical Engineer to work closely alongside the Director. Under their guidance, you will receive training and full support to develop this new role.

This is a rare opportunity to be part of a new team and be one of the first to work within the team.

About you:

The role will suit someone who is happy to work independently as well as within a small team. This is a great learning opportunity to gain valuable first-hand experience, our client isn't looking for someone to come in and 'hit the ground running', they are prepared and happy to train you on the job. This would suit someone who is not scared to get stuck in but equally happy and confident enough to ask questions when something doesn't make sense.

You might have a degree in Electrical Engineering, or you might have studied at HNC level or completed a diploma/apprenticeship - we are open to any level or electrical qualification.

About the role:

  • Develop electrical drawings, general arrangements, layouts and supporting documentation according to scopes provided by the business

  • Lead on commissioned work and complete documentation according to scopes provided by the business

  • Liaise with other engineers to complete work documents as required

  • Liaise with senior engineers to handover and complete works ready for signoff and submission to clients and commissioning agencies

  • Develop and build own knowledge and expertise in line with business requirements

    This role would initially require more of an office base until training has been completed. At this point, a hybrid working setup would be introduced.

    Only those with the right to work in the UK can apply for this position.

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

Neurodiversity in Biotech Careers: Turning Different Thinking into a Superpower

Biotechnology is all about solving complex problems that affect real lives – from new medicines & vaccines to sustainable materials, diagnostics & gene therapies. To tackle those challenges, the sector needs people who think differently. That is exactly where neurodivergent talent comes in. If you have ADHD, autism, dyslexia or another form of neurodivergence, you might have been told that your brain is “too much”, “too distracted” or “too literal” for a lab or scientific career. In reality, many of the traits that come with ADHD, autism & dyslexia are perfectly suited to biotech work – from spotting subtle patterns in experimental data to creative thinking around new solutions. This guide is written for biotechnology job seekers in the UK. We will explore: What neurodiversity means in a biotech context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths map onto specific biotech roles Practical workplace adjustments you can ask for under UK law How to talk about your neurodivergence in applications & interviews By the end, you will have a clearer idea of where you might thrive in biotech – & how to set up your working environment so your differences become genuine superpowers.
