Key Responsibilities

  • Plan, schedule, and execute preventive and reactive maintenance activities across utilities and GMP equipment

  • Support facility and equipment installation and commissioning for capital projects

  • Coordinate external service providers for calibration, PPM, and other contract services

  • Oversee EHS permitting and ensure all engineering work meets internal safety standards and regulatory expectations

  • Drive improvements in equipment performance, availability, and operational reliability

  • Maintain compliance with GMP, GDP, and data integrity standards across all work and documentation

  • Contribute to cost-efficiency through equipment optimisation and maintenance planning

  • Assist with managing engineering budgets and critical spare part inventories

    What You’ll Need

  • Minimum 5 years’ experience in a highly regulated engineering or maintenance role

  • At least 3 years working within a GMP cleanroom environment, preferably in biopharma or advanced therapies

  • Strong technical understanding of building services and utilities, including HVAC, compressed air, oxygen, and clean steam systems

  • Hands-on experience with PPM systems, contractor management, and troubleshooting utility equipment

  • Background in developing maintenance procedures and documentation to GMP standards

  • Knowledge of calibration planning and techniques is highly desirable

  • Engineering degree or trades qualification in mechanical, electrical, or building services discipline

Seasonal Hiring Peaks for Data Science Jobs: The Best Months to Apply & Why

The UK's data science sector has matured into one of Europe's most intellectually rewarding and financially attractive technology markets, with roles spanning from junior data analysts to principal data scientists and heads of artificial intelligence. With data science positions commanding salaries from £30,000 for graduate data analysts to £140,000+ for senior principal scientists, understanding when organisations actively recruit can dramatically accelerate your career progression in this intellectually stimulating and rapidly evolving field. Unlike traditional analytical roles, data science hiring follows distinct patterns influenced by business intelligence cycles, research funding schedules, and machine learning project timelines. The sector's unique combination of mathematical rigour, business impact requirements, and cutting-edge technology adoption creates predictable hiring windows that strategic professionals can leverage to advance their careers in extracting insights from tomorrow's data. This comprehensive guide explores the optimal timing for data science job applications in the UK, examining how enterprise analytics strategies, academic research cycles, and artificial intelligence initiatives influence recruitment patterns, and why strategic timing can determine whether you join a pioneering AI research team or miss the opportunity to develop the next generation of intelligent systems.

Pre-Employment Checks for Data Science Jobs: DBS, References & Right-to-Work and more Explained

Pre-employment screening in data science reflects the discipline's unique position at the intersection of statistical analysis, machine learning innovation, and strategic business intelligence. Data scientists often have privileged access to comprehensive datasets, proprietary algorithms, and business-critical insights that form the foundation of organisational strategy and competitive positioning. The data science industry operates within complex regulatory frameworks spanning GDPR, sector-specific data protection requirements, and emerging AI governance regulations. Data scientists must demonstrate not only technical competence in statistical modelling and machine learning but also deep understanding of research ethics, data privacy principles, and the societal implications of algorithmic decision-making. Modern data science roles frequently involve analysing personally identifiable information, financial data, healthcare records, and sensitive business intelligence across multiple jurisdictions and regulatory frameworks simultaneously. The combination of analytical privilege, predictive capabilities, and strategic influence makes thorough candidate verification essential for maintaining compliance, security, and public trust in data-driven insights and automated systems.

Why Now Is the Perfect Time to Launch Your Career in Data Science: The UK's Analytics Revolution

The United Kingdom stands at the forefront of a data science revolution that's reshaping how businesses make decisions, governments craft policies, and society tackles its greatest challenges. From the machine learning algorithms powering London's fintech innovation to the predictive models guiding Manchester's smart city initiatives, Britain's transformation into a data-driven economy has created an unprecedented demand for skilled data scientists that far outstrips the available talent. If you've been contemplating a career transition or seeking to position yourself at the cutting edge of the digital economy, data science represents one of the most intellectually stimulating, financially rewarding, and socially impactful career paths available today. The convergence of big data maturation, artificial intelligence mainstream adoption, business intelligence evolution, and cross-industry digital transformation has created the perfect conditions for data science career success.
