The Role - What You’ll Be Doing

The industry – and the world – is moving towards full digitalisation, and life science manufacturing is right at the front of that shift. As a graduate consultant, you will help shape what the digital plant of the future looks like. This is where your Chemical Engineering degree comes alive. Unit operations, process control, heat and mass transfer – you will take that understanding onto real plants and connect how processes behave to how they are digitised.

You will work hands-on with a leading global pharmaceutical manufacturer in one of the most exciting spaces in the industry: the Unified Namespace (UNS) – a live, connected view of every process, machine and site. You will work within a high-performing, multi-disciplinary team alongside other graduate consultants, senior management, and company directors. This role is predominantly office based with some flexibility to work remotely when needed.

Key Responsibilities

Responsibilities will flex to meet the evolving needs of our clients, but typically:

  • Exploring real pharmaceutical processes – from granulation and drying to filling and packaging – and working out what makes each one tick.
  • Helping to build the Unified Namespace: the live, connected backbone that links every machine, line and site into one picture.
  • Experimenting with AI and its capabilities – testing new ideas and tools to see how they can drive manufacturing success.
  • Contributing to the development of data standards that prepare manufacturing operations for AI, advanced analytics and future digital technologies.
  • Putting your process engineering knowledge to work – spotting what really matters on a production line, and why.
  • Working alongside site engineers and industry experts, developing client relationships and gaining valuable experience in GMP manufacturing environments.
  • Opportunities for occasional travel to client sites across the UK and internationally.

Requirements

  • A bachelor’s degree, or higher, in Chemical Engineering or a related discipline, or equivalent relevant industry experience.
  • A valid UK driving licence.
  • A keen interest in digital technologies, data and AI, with strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • An understanding of engineering principles and enthusiasm for applying them to real manufacturing challenges.
  • A proactive, curious mindset, with the confidence to take initiative and ownership of your work.
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively within a team.
  • Good organisational skills, attention to detail and the ability to manage competing priorities.
  • A willingness to learn new technologies, develop your skills and challenge conventional thinking.

Most importantly, we’re looking for engineers who are excited to bring their process knowledge into the world of digital manufacturing, data and AI.
