Cell and Gene at TTP

We’re looking for experienced Mechanical Engineers to join our Biotech, Cell and Gene team. The team works with clients in the pharmaceutical and associated industries, an area seeking technological solutions to transform the way we deploy bioprocess in the manufacture of advanced therapies. The team has a broad remit, developing unit operations for cell therapies, process analytical technologies and bespoke manufacturing equipment.

TTP

The Biotech, Cell and Gene team is part of our larger Life Sciences unit; working at the intersection of biology, physical science and engineering. In the last decade TTP’s Life Science team 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.

The role

We are looking for experienced Mechanical Engineers and project leaders to work alongside bright peers from diverse fields, soling complex technical problems and delivering technically challenging projects. This is an excellent opportunity to expand your expertise, and contribute to a wide variety of projects that advance medical research.

You’ll 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 contribute to 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 diagnostics.
