We’re supporting a rapidly growing pharmaceutical site in Hoddesdon that has expanded from 35 to 450+ employees since 2013, with plans to exceed 1000 employees in the coming years.
The site has recently completed a £10M state-of-the-art AMS laboratory, including a brand-new HVAC system—one of only a handful of its kind in Europe. With further investment and projects already planned, this is a great opportunity to join a high-growth, technically advanced environment.
This role offers a strong mix of hands-on maintenance and project work, supporting critical utilities and cleanroom systems rather than traditional production lines.

- Maintain GxP-compliant documentation and reporting
- Support small projects, including installation and commissioning
- Identify and implement continuous improvement opportunities
- Ensure high safety standards and proactively manage risks
- Collaborate with internal teams to minimise disruption to operations
What We’re Looking For
- Completed engineering apprenticeship (or equivalent)
- Experience as a Multi-Skilled / Instrumentation / Controls Technician
