High Salary: Planning Engineer / Senior Planning Engineer...

Senior Principal, Life Sciences Commercial Specialist

Here’s the deal… I know you have seen plenty of these job advertisements before. They were boring, showed you no personality and you most likely didn’t apply for it.


So let me keep this simple and save us both some time. It's not what we do it is WHO WE ARE.


WE LOVEworking with people, the recruitment industry for us has always been about the work itself. The networking, building relationships and sharing genuine human connections. We thoroughly believe that when done right, recruitment helps people discover unique opportunities and lifestyles they never thought possible. We rise to the challenge and support people and families with jobs and their relocation all over the world.


WE BUILDrelationships, internally and externally. We have become friends with both our candidates and clients. Internally, we want to be more than just colleagues but team mates, mentors and a support network. Through business we found friendship which eliminated the absolutely outdated and terrible saying from the psychopaths within the industry “it’s not personal, its business”.

We have become friends with both candidates and clients we have worked with.


WE LIKEpeople being themselves, being authentic, being interested and actually caring about the work they are doing and for the people it’s for. This job isn’t magic really, it just takes someone who is willing to listen, is empathetic, and who wants to work hard. Work hard not just for themselves but for the people and clients they represent, for a company and brand they believe in.


WE WANTto help the world around us. If you didn’t know, Impel Talent focuses on three key areas: Life Sciences, Renewable Energy, and Space & Technology, three sectors that drive or impel the world we live in (as corny as it sounds it's actually the reason we work in those sectors). So while our work is focused on innovative and sustainable sectors, so are our minds when it comes to how we can help. We focus on sharing profit with non-profits/charities, we engage every month with a charity to support a greater cause, and we give everyone one day per month to spend devoted to a cause of their own choice.


So what will you do here?


AsPrincipal / Partner for Life Sciences, you’ll be working directly with people—engaging, calling, and networking with professionals across the pharmaceutical, biotech, and medical technology industries globally.

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.

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.
