Are you passionate about pushing the boundaries of analytical science in pharmaceutical development?

Join our R&D team at Codis as an Analytical Development Chemist at our Haverhill manufacturing site to play a crucial role in the development and validation of analytical methods for new active pharmaceutical ingredients and drug product formulations.

We are seeking a skilled and motivated Analytical Chemist to support the development of robust analytical methods for new active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), intermediates, raw materials and drug products.

Your Responsibilities

  • Develop, optimise, and pre-validate analytical methods for APIs, polymers, drug product formulations especially amorphous solid dispersions, intermediates, raw materials, primarily using HPLC, UHPLC, and GC (and hyphenated methods including LC-MS and GC-MS)
  • Support method transfers and troubleshooting across internal and client-facing projects
  • Generate high-quality technical documentation including method protocols and technical reports
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams in R&D, Quality, and Manufacturing to ensure seamless integration of analytical methods into GMP workflows
  • Maintain compliance with current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP), ICH guidelines, and internal quality systems
  • Work with different analytical techniques including FT-IR, UV-Vis, Karl Fischer, NMR and others (appropriate training will be provided).

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
