You will be expected to take leadership of various projects as they arise, whilst also collaborating effectively within teams depending on project requirements.

Due to working alongside other Medical Devices divisions, it is expected that you would have knowledge of ISO 13485, QMS and GMP.

In return, you will receive an excellent starting salary, free lunches, enhanced pension, bonuses, healthcare and other excellent benefits you'd expect with a much larger organisation.

Given the high demand for Medical Devices opportunities, we anticipate significant interest in this role. If you are interested, we recommend submitting your application promptly to avoid missing out.
