Compliance & Certification Coordinator / Certification Assessor

📍 Kettering, Northamptonshire

💼 Full-time | 37.5 hours per week

💰 Salary up to £29,000 DOE

Are you detail-driven, technically curious, and experienced in customer-facing or administrative roles within a regulated or technical environment?

This is a fantastic opportunity to step into a specialist certification role, supporting the assessment of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) used across the UK and Europe. Ideal for someone with technical admin, technical customer service, laboratory support, or compliance-related experience, this role offers variety, responsibility, and long-term career development.

The Opportunity

You’ll join an established PPE Certification function operating internationally, working with colleagues and clients across multiple countries. The team plays a critical role in ensuring products meet strict UK and EU regulatory standards, enabling manufacturers to legally apply CE and UKCA markings.

This is a role where accuracy, organisation, and communication are just as important as technical understanding.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Assessing PPE products against relevant standards and regulations
• Reviewing technical documentation and preparing draft certification paperwork
• Interpreting performance standards and regulatory requirements
• Acting as a key point of contact for customers, providing clear guidance and progress updates
• Working closely with internal technical and quality teams
• Occasionally attending technical meetings or industry forums (UK and overseas)

Who This Role Suits

• Technical customer service
• Technical administration or compliance support
• Laboratory admin or test support
• Certification, quality, or regulated environments
• PPE, manufacturing, engineering, or science-based industries

What We’re Looking For

Essential

• Strong attention to detail and a methodical approach
• Experience in a customer-facing or administrative role
• Ability to understand and work with technical or regulated information
• Excellent organisation, communication, and time management skills
• Confidence using Microsoft Office
• Able to work independently and collaboratively
• Willingness to travel occasionally (UK and overseas)

Desirable

• Science-based degree or technical education
• Experience within PPE, testing, manufacturing, or certification
• Knowledge of CE/UKCA marking or European regulations
• Laboratory or technical documentation experience
• Additional languages

What’s On Offer

• Salary up to £29,000 depending on experience
• 25-30 days annual leave (service-related)
• Flexible working hours
• Life assurance & income protection
• Group pension scheme
• Free on-site parking
• Exposure to international standards and regulatory work
• Long-term career development in a specialist field
