Job Description:

An excellent opportunity has arisen for a QC Technologist to join our Quality Control team on a fixed-term contract, covering maternity leave until 29 January 2027. You’ll build experience across a broad range of analytical techniques, with a strong focus on high-quality results and robust documentation in a GLP environment. Hours: 10am–6:30pm Mon–Thurs, 10am–5pm Fri.

In this role, you’ll analyse API and raw material samples to approved methods, delivering results on time and to the right quality standards. It’s a great opportunity to deepen your hands-on lab skills with structured training, coaching from experienced colleagues, and exposure to regulated ways of working (GLP/GMP).

What you’ll do

• Analyse API batches to approved analytical SOPs and specifications using techniques such as HPLC, UV, pH, Karl Fischer and Mass Spec.

• Support the daily test schedule, including mobile phase preparation and sample weighing.

• Complete required training (including external and site-based training where needed) and build capability across all techniques performed; support other Technologists and help train new starters as appropriate.

• Compile results and submit for review in a timely manner, with close attention to SOP requirements, documentation standards and data integrity.

• Raise quality events and OOS/OOT results promptly in discussion with senior colleagues, and support timely investigations including RCA and CAPA; escalate issues that could impact testing and release schedules.

• Maintain strong laboratory standards: promote accuracy and precision in daily routines; complete equipment calibration activities; support inspection readiness; follow Ipsen safety and environmental policies; and contribute to OE initiatives (e.g., 5S) and good housekeeping.

• Support the wider QC operation: purchase/manage consumables and reagents; generate SOPs/test methods/risk assessments as required; liaise with other Ipsen sites for information transfer and troubleshooting; and coordinate sample and reference standard shipments.

To succeed, you’ll have a science degree (or equivalent) and hands-on laboratory experience in a GLP environment, with exposure to controlled methods, clear documentation, and data integrity expectations. Experience with chemistry test methods (including chromatography) is important, and any GMP experience is a plus.

Why Ipsen

At Ipsen, you’ll be part of a team driven by patient impact—working collaboratively, acting with integrity, and continuously improving how we deliver quality medicines. You’ll join an environment where your expertise is valued, your development is supported, and your work makes a meaningful difference.
