6 Month Contract | Grangemouth | Biologics/Pharma Manufacturing
Ready to walk straight into live projects and start delivering from week one? We're recruiting on behalf of a global biopharmaceutical manufacturing site in Grangemouth for an experienced Analytical Development Scientist to join their team on an initial 6-month contract. This is a project-critical, hit-the-ground-running role — you'll be picking up specific, time-sensitive projects already in flight, so we need someone who's done this before and can own it from day one, not someone building up to it.
Roles starting ASAP.
What you'll be doing:
- Taking ownership of method development, validation, and technical transfer work across live projects — HPLC, UV spectroscopy, CE-SDS, icIEF, MS and compendial methods among others
- Acting as the technical go-to for troubleshooting method and instrumentation issues, with minimal supervision
- Driving projects to completion against tight, pre-agreed timelines, coordinating with QC, QA, Process Development, and MSAT as needed
- Producing protocols, technical reports, and data ready for regulatory filing without extensive review cycles
- Engaging directly with client stakeholders on assay requirements and project progress
- Bringing cGMP and ESH rigour to a fast-moving, quality-driven lab environment
What we're looking for:
- Significant hands-on analytical development experience in a GMP-regulated pharma or biologics environment — this is not an entry point role
- Demonstrated ability to independently develop, validate, and troubleshoot analytical methods
- A track record of leading technical transfer, qualification, and validation projects
- Confidence taking ownership of deliverables and making technical calls without extensive hand-holding
- Ability to mobilise quickly and integrate into an existing team and project plan with minimal ramp-up time
If you're an experienced analytical scientist who wants to get straight into meaningful project work rather than a lengthy induction, this one's for you.
