✨ Senior Analytical Chemist – Pharmaceutical Manufacturing | North Wales ✨
£26,000–£33,000 DOE | Monday–Friday, 8:15am–4:15pm
Are you a detail-driven analytical scientist with a passion for quality? A brilliant opportunity has opened for a Senior Analytical Chemist to join one of the UK’s leading pharmaceutical manufacturers, supporting the production of high-quality medicines.
🔬 What You’ll Be Doing
In this senior role, you’ll take ownership of analytical method validation and verification using HPLC, UPLC, UV, and GC. You’ll support the QC function by monitoring the quality of raw materials, components, products, and processes through inspection, sampling, and analysis.
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.
