In the last decade TTP’s Life Science Business Unit has been delivering commercial growth and successful products for our clients in areas ranging from bioprocess to tools for fundamental biology and from clinical diagnostics to drug discovery. Building on this growth, we are looking to employ experienced engineers and project leaders to further support and expand our capabilities in key market areas.

As a Mechanical Engineering Consultant, you’ll be working alongside specialists from diverse fields to deliver technically challenging projects that necessitate a multi-disciplinary approach. You’ll use your Project Leadership experience in managing multi-phase projects for our clients, acting as the main point of contact for internal and external stakeholders.

In this role you have the opportunity to propose and develop entirely new technological and commercial offerings - with experience, your combination of increasing market and technology insight will enable you to uncover valuable new business opportunities and even new areas of business.

In summary, we are looking for individuals seeking to drive the growth of a highly successful team – in a period of unprecedented demand there are also positions open to contribute to other life sciences areas of focus, such as ‘omics, biotech, and cell and gene therapy.

As an ideal candidate you will have the following:

• An excellent academic record with a 2:1 or above undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering
• Demonstrative experience developing innovative products in a commercial environment
• Capability to work collaboratively with interdisciplinary colleagues
• Excellent communication skills, and comfortable in a client-facing role
• Some knowledge of the biological sciences and/or a practical understanding of product development in a regulated industry (e.g. ISO13485) would be beneficial but is not essential

Our business revolves around collaborating with one another to tackle genuinely hard problems. Equality and diversity in the workplace are some of the most challenging problems facing society. We can’t profess to be perfect in this regard, or to yet have all the answers. But we continuously strive to do better, and we fundamentally believe in the power and importance of diversity – both for our community and for the overall success of our business.

We therefore encourage applications from all individuals. Whatever your background, whatever your identity: we would love to hear from you.
