The Role+
We are looking for a Manufacturing Technician (Biochemist) to join our Cell Production team. This hands-on role is focused on operating, monitoring and improving large-scale cell culture production processes to deliver consistent, high-quality products.
Your Experience+
- A Bachelor's degree or higher qualification in Biochemistry or a closely related discipline.
- Experience in biotechnology, bioprocessing, fermentation, food manufacturing, pharmaceuticals or another large-scale production environment.
- Strong knowledge of biochemistry, cell biology and biological production processes.
- Experience analysing scientific or production data and applying findings to improve process performance.
- Excellent problem-solving, communication and organisational skills.
- Experience working within quality systems such as GMP, HACCP or ISO standards will be highly regarded.
What you'll do+
- Operate, monitor and optimise large-scale cell culture manufacturing processes from cell thaw through to harvest.
- Apply biochemical principles to assess cell growth, metabolism and production performance, identifying and resolving process deviations.
- Analyse and record production data to ensure product quality, consistency and compliance with established procedures.
- Collaborate with Engineering, Research & Development and Quality teams to support process optimisation, scale-up activities and implementation of new manufacturing processes.
- Maintain accurate batch records, technical documentation and standard operating procedures in accordance with quality management systems.
- Ensure manufacturing activities comply with food safety, quality and workplace safety requirements while supporting continuous improvement initiatives.
Success is+
- In your first month you will have successfully integrated into Vow’s Production team. You’ll be confidently following established processes, learning the details of our large-scale cell culture operations, and running routine steps under guidance.
- After 3 months you’ll be running production processes independently, spotting issues early, and taking ownership of troubleshooting day-to-day challenges. You’ll also begin identifying opportunities for small process improvements and contributing ideas to make operations smoother and more reliable.
- By the end of your first year you’ll be a key contributor in scaling our production, owning parts of the process, and working closely with Engineering, R&D, and Quality teams to embed improvements into routine production. Your impact will be felt in both the consistency of output and the way new processes are brought online.
