Production Scientist

A superb opportunity has arisen for a Production Scientist to join a game changing biotech at a critical time of growth and expansion, working in brand new labs in West London (W12), making the biology behind their NGS platform consistently brilliant.

• Express and purify recombinant proteins using a range of systems, including bacterial (e.g.
  
  E. coli), cell-free (IVTT) and other hosts when the project calls for it
• Prepare buffers and reagents to precise specifications, and help bring in and validate automated preparation
• Keep R&D projects supplied: scope requests, agree specs and timelines, and help promising candidates graduate into routine production
• Optimise and scale processes across proteins, buffers and reagents, chasing better yield, purity, consistency and turnaround
• Tackle production hiccups methodically, and let the data point the way to improvements
• Juggle platform supply and R&D priorities while working closely with colleagues in platform, chemistry, engineering and R&D

• Run QC and release testing on proteins and buffers (SDS-PAGE, concentration, purity, activity assays, pH, conductivity and more), and help shape the specifications and acceptance criteria
• Complete batch records, maintain traceability and support lot release in our eQMS
• Write and maintain SOPs, work instructions and specifications, and contribute to deviations, CAPAs and change control

The ideal Production Scientist is happiest at the lab bench, pipette in hand, with a well-run purification ahead of you. You’re meticulous without being rigid, and you get real satisfaction from turning a one-off success into a repeatable, scalable process. You communicate clearly and you’re happy being the go-to person when a colleague needs something made well.
