Reporting to the Engineering Manager, working alongside R&D, Electronics, and Production Test
Are you an experienced PLC engineer looking to broaden into microcontroller-based control systems? This is a chance to join a small, close-knit engineering team supporting and developing control systems for bespoke scientific/lab equipment, with real variety across production support, R&D, and new product development.

The Role
Every system is built to order, so no two control systems are quite the same. You'll split your time between supporting existing PLC-controlled production systems and helping shape the next generation, which combines an external software platform with in-house PLC and (eventually) microcontroller-based control. You'll:

• Maintain and support existing PLC control systems (Omron CX-Programmer, ladder logic/structured text) and HMI interfaces
• Work with an electronics engineer to integrate motor/pump control (signal-level, not circuit design)
• Support Production/Test with fault diagnosis and acceptance testing
• Read wiring schematics (produced by the electronics team)
• Start building familiarity with microcontroller-based control for future product development
• Use Git for version control

About You

• Engineering background (degree, apprenticeship, HNC or HND)
• At least 4 years in a similar role, ideally industrial/PLC background
• Strong PLC programming experience (ladder logic/structured text); CX-Programmer experience a bonus
• Comfortable reading electrical/wiring schematics

Curious and keen to learn: open to picking up microcontroller and embedded systems knowledge over time

Are you a hands-on field service engineer with a background in laboratory equipment? We're recruiting on behalf of a specialist manufacturer of laboratory equipment for an experienced Service Engineer.

You'd be joining a close-knit, specialist team where your technical expertise directly protects people and enables vital scientific and medical work, all while enjoying the autonomy of a field-based role, variety across different industries and site types, and real opportunities to develop deeper technical and product knowledge over time.

The Role:

You'll deliver, install, commission, service and maintain specialist lab equipment and clean/controlled environments at customer sites across a range of regulated industries from pharmaceutical and healthcare to defence and research.

Expect varied days: technical fault-diagnosis, hands-on installation work, customer training, and keeping on top of digital service reports and compliance documentation.

What you'll need:

• Experience as a service/installation experience in a laboratory-equipment or similar technical environment
• Practical experience with biological safety cabinets or lab equipment
• DOP testing and KI Discus testing experience
• Full UK driving licence and willingness to travel regularly (with occasional overnight stays)
• Ability to obtain CSCS card, DBS/security clearance where required

This is a great opportunity for a technically strong engineer who enjoys autonomy, customer contact, and variety, working with cutting-edge lab and clean-air technology across the UK.

We're a small group with a Head Office that punches well above its weight. It runs on the people who hold it all together, and that's where you come in.

We're looking for a Business Administration and Office Manager to be the glue in our office: the person who keeps things ticking, spots what needs doing before anyone has to ask, and makes the place feel organised and welcoming, even on the days it isn’t going to plan.

You'll report to our CFO and work alongside a small, tight-knit Head Office team - think close working relationships, a lot of trust, and no room for anyone who wants to hide at a desk all day. You'll manage the day-to-day running of the office, pitch in wherever Finance, Company Secretarial or HR need a hand, and support our Executive Assistant when the Board and senior leadership need things pulled together.

You'll also be the first face people see - visitors, investors, contractors - so you'll need to be someone who's genuinely comfortable putting people at ease, whether that's the CEO or the person fixing the boiler.

You'll be doing things like:

• Running the office - supplies, post, maintenance, IT liaison
• Owning Health & Safety, properly (not just box-ticking)
• Managing the boardroom diary and looking after visitors
• Sorting correspondence, databases, and the general admin that keeps a business moving
• Organising company events and helping Finance, HR and Company Secretarial with ad hoc bits

You'll fit right in if you:

• Have solid senior admin experience and don't rattle easily
• Take initiative instead of waiting to be asked
• Can handle confidential info without a second thought
• Actually enjoy being part of a small, close team - not hiding on a big floor
• Are calm under pressure and genuinely good with people

Any experience with Health & Safety, finance admin, company secretarial work or basic HR/training admin is a nice-to-have, not a requirement. What matters most is attitude, resilience, and being someone that people enjoy having around.

You might currently be an Office Manager, Business Support Manager, Senior Administrator, PA/EA who's picked up office management along the way, Team Assistant, or Company Secretarial Assistant. If your job title doesn't quite match any of these but the description sounds like you, we'd still love to hear from you.

Benefits include healthcare, pension, life assurance, shares scheme, and more!

Ready to fast-track your finance career? This is your next big step.

Join a business on a clear growth path, and put your energy, curiosity and eye for technology to work shaping its financial future. You'll help guide the next phase of growth across global markets - building serious expertise in multi-entity finance and strategic planning far faster than you would in a typical role at this stage.

This isn't a seat-warming job. You'll be the most senior finance person in the business, working directly alongside the MD. That means getting stuck in - approving payments, reviewing revenue recognition, going through every invoice that needs a judgment call. Small team, high trust, real autonomy.

Alongside the day-to-day, you'll be shaping how we run the business: improving our systems and reporting, connecting our data into something we can actually use, and helping us build the financial infrastructure to support international growth.

What you'll do
You'll investigate, summarise, report on, and recommend improvements - getting your insights in front of senior leadership from day one. You'll support the finance team in delivering a high-quality service to all stakeholders, with plenty of scope to grow into leading it.

You'll work closely with the MD, getting involved in coaching P&L managers and supporting decisions that shape the company's future - brilliant experience to have on your CV early in your career.

You'll take on financial management across international entities, with genuine opportunities to get involved in new market entries and expansion.

You'll also get exposure to shared services, helping make sure HR, IT and facilities support the business rather than slow it down. With recent acquisitions in play, you'll be part of the team driving financial integration - a great chance to build experience in an area many finance professionals don't see until much later in their career.

What you'll need

• Qualified accountant with solid experience as the number one finance person in an SME
• Manufacturing background - you understand stock, production costs and supply chains
• Hands-on by nature - comfortable doing the work, not just directing it
• Curious about technology - we'd love someone who gets excited about better dashboards and smarter data, not someone waiting for an IT department to fix things
• The kind of person who'll tell the MD no when it matters

About the company
They're a world-leading designer and manufacturer of advanced scientific instruments. Join at an exciting stage of growth, with real scope to grow alongside the business.
