This is a UKAS accredited facility carrying out a range of fire testing services that help keep buildings and the people in them safe. No two days look the same: one minute you could be setting up a test rig, the next analysing results and writing up reports, or speaking directly with a customer about how their test is progressing. It's practical, physical work, so you'll need to be just as comfortable using lifting equipment, a broom and shovel as you are in front of a laptop or in front of a customer. Teamwork is a big part of how this lab operates, so you'll be working closely with colleagues day to day.

What you'll be doing

• Carrying out fire testing activities from start to finish, including setting up rigs and equipment ahead of a test
• Analysing test data and writing up clear, accurate reports that customers and colleagues can rely on
• Liaising directly with customers, keeping them updated on test progress, timelines and results, and answering their queries along the way
• Acting as a point of contact for customers on site during testing, making sure their experience is professional and well managed
• Taking a proactive, safety-first approach and speaking up if you spot a risk
• Getting stuck into hands-on testing tasks, including clean-up and general upkeep, to keep the facility running smoothly

What you'll need

• A degree in chemistry, physics or engineering OR equivalent experience in an industrial or material testing environment
• A genuinely proactive attitude to health and safety
• Willing and able to take on physical and manual work, as well as customer interaction

Why apply

You'll be joining a lab that takes real pride in the standard of its testing, with a team that backs each other up and gets involved. If you like a mix of technical and physical work and want to build genuine experience in a hands-on industrial environment, this is a good place to do it.

You will play a key role in delivering DSP activities across a range of modalities, including viral vectors and nucleic acid-based products, in a fast-moving and highly experimental environment.

Reporting into the DSP leadership team, will be responsible for running experiments, solving problems, and adapting processes, as projects evolve. This role suits someone who enjoys flexibility, iteration, and scientific creativity rather than rigid, highly constrained environments.

The role is based on-site in Darlington, working as part of an established DSP team of approximately 11 scientists.

What You'll Be Responsible For

Downstream Process Development

• Design, develop, and optimise downstream purification processes for biopharmaceutical products

• Support scale-up, knowledge transfer, and process troubleshooting activities

About You

You are a practical downstream processing scientist who enjoys being in the lab and is comfortable working in an evolving, sometimes ambiguous research and development environment.

You bring curiosity, adaptability, and a willingness to try different approaches - and you're not phased by processes that aren't fully defined from day one.

You'll bring:

• Demonstratable experience of planning and delivering complex laboratory technical work, data analysis and reporting
• Theoretical and practical knowledge in Biochemistry, Biologics Purification, Biochemical Engineering and relevant analytical techniques.
• Experience designing and optimising chromatography-based purification processes
• Familiarity with TFF, ELISA, and HPLC/UPLC techniques
• Flexibility to adjust working hours around experimental needs

Desirable (but not essential):

• Experience using KTA chromatography systems

• Experience working with AAV, viral vectors, or DNA/RNA-based products
• Background beyond monoclonal antibodies (mAbs)
• Experience in early-stage, development-focused or non-rigid GMP environments

Applicants from academia are welcome.

Why Join CPI?

• A genuinely hands-on laboratory role with real scientific ownership
• Exposure to emerging modalities and advanced bioprocessing technologies
• A collaborative team that values experimentation and problem-solving

Location & Working Pattern

• Based on-site in Darlington
• Flexible working hours aligned to experimental requirements
