JOB DESCRIPTION
World Leader in Blood Glucose Monitoring
Abbott's Diabetes Care business designs, develops and manufactures glucose monitoring systems for use in both home and hospital settings.
We have a Centre of Excellence in Witney for the manufacture of electrodes and biosensors used by patients and healthcare professionals for the day-to-day management of diabetes. The Operations group is the largest team in the Witney facility, producing high volumes of test strips and biosensors each year to the stringent quality standards demanded by European and US authorities and our internal quality systems.
As a result of strong business growth, industry-leading product development in the biosensor business and a long-term commitment to high volume manufacturing in our Witney Centre of Excellence, we have an opportunity for an Associate Engineer to join our Operations Group focusing on Control Systems, and working within the biosensor manufacturing area of the business.
Role of the Associate Engineer (Control Systems)
The role of the Associate Engineer (Control Systems) is to provide support and assistance with Engineering and Systems projects and other activities, with a focus on PLC systems. Work could include running trials on manufacturing equipment, creating models, collecting and analysing data and writing reports. All documentation must be completed in compliance with site, Corporate and external regulatory requirements.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Continuous Improvement is an important part of our site’s culture and as such, you will be heavily involved in proposing and contributing to initiatives and projects that improve our operations. You will be able to devise, plan, carry out and report on experiments and other data collection, leading to the progression of engineering projects, and offer a flexible approach to work to provide assistance with the wider Engineering projects as and when required.
Requirements
You will need to have completed a HNC or HND in a science or computing field, as a minimum, and ideally bring engineering/technical experience, for example understanding databases, technical drawings, problem solving, use of CAD systems, designing tests and experiments. You will be PC literate, and ideally offer experience of managing projects either through industry experience or academic studies. Over time, Abbott will support your development in Vision Systems expertise, and we would therefore welcome applications from people keen to develop this specialist skill set.
Benefits
This is a fantastic opportunity to become a valued member of a highly skilled Engineering team working with brand new state-of-the-art automation in a fast growing area of our business. Engineering skill is key to us, with members working in areas including projects, process, production, systems, software, R&D and machine vision. We also have our own fully equipped workshop.
