  • Performing HPLC, CE and LC-MS analytical testing for in-process and end-point monitoring of quality.
  • Carrying out oligonucleotide conjugation procedures and SPE clean-up protocols.
  • High throughput, automated sample handling workflows ensuring low cross-contamination.
  • Following quality systems in line with ISO standards.
  • Upkeep of laboratory space including the maintenance of analytical instrumentation.
  • Ensuring a safe working environment for all team members and a culture of continuous improvement for health & safety.
  • Ensuring the smooth transfer of new purification methods from Development into Production.
  • Preparing clearly articulated experimental reports and maintaining well-organised records.
  • Working and communicating effectively with other groups in Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Procurement, Development and external suppliers.
  • Time to focus on career development and building connections within the company.
  • What We're Looking For...

  • A clear and consistent focus on the highest safety standards.
  • Experience in a relevant industrial production environment.
  • Experience working in a GxP regulatory laboratory would be advantageous.
  • BSc, MSc or PhD in a relevant subject would be advantageous.
  • Good working knowledge of oligonucleotide analytical and preparative techniques is desired.
  • Strong problem solving and analytical skills.
  • Excellent collaborative, interpersonal and communication skills.
  • Organisation skills and attention to detail will be essential.
  • Training will be given and, as such, a willingness to learn and develop is required.

    Applications are encouraged from highly motivated individuals who enjoy taking on new challenges, are quickly adaptable in an exciting and fast-paced environment, and who perform well under pressure.

    We offer outstanding benefits to include an attractive bonus, generous pension contributions, private healthcare and an excellent starting salary. Based within beautiful, landscaped surroundings with tree-lined walks, water features and a lake, all of which make for a wonderful working environment.
