Validation Technician T1 - Entry-Level Field Role

UK-wide client-site travel

BMC Recruitment Group are currently recruiting for a Validation Technician T1 to join a specialist provider of validation and technical services to regulated industries. This field-based role involves visiting client sites across the UK, helping to test and certify the controlled environments and equipment that support safe, compliant operations.

For someone looking to build a practical technical career, the role offers supervised experience with specialist testing equipment and a structured route towards independent competence. The employer supports sectors including pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, research, medical devices, food and beverage, and advanced manufacturing.

About the Role

- Entry-level position, developing foundational technical knowledge, practical skills and professional client-site behaviours.

- Work under the close supervision of experienced technicians across a range of validation and testing disciplines.

- Follow a structured Professional Development Framework, completing assigned training and building towards T2 competence sign-off.

- Travel to client sites across the UK, with time away from home as required.

- Practical work involving carrying equipment, working at height and following controlled-environment procedures.

Duties/Responsibilities

- Assist senior technicians with validation testing of cleanrooms, biological safety cabinets, local exhaust ventilation (LEV) systems and specialist devices.

- Record test results accurately and at the time of testing, using paper and electronic methods in line with ALCOA+ data integrity principles and the employer's recording standards.

- Operate and care for validation instruments, completing pre-use checks and verifying calibration status before deployment.

- Follow site-specific health and safety requirements, risk assessments and method statements (RAMS), and personal protective equipment protocols; escalate concerns and exercise stop-work authority where necessary.

- Maintain correct gowning discipline and working practices in cleanrooms and other controlled environments.

- Communicate professionally with client contacts, working within the scope of a T1 technician and referring queries to senior colleagues appropriately.

- Keep job management, timesheet and asset records accurate, completing pre-visit readiness checks and lone-worker check-in procedures.

- Support colleagues on site, complete assigned training modules and develop the skills needed for progression towards independent working.

About you

- Eligible to work in the UK, with a full, clean driving licence and willingness to travel and stay away from home.

- Able to meet the practical requirements of carrying equipment and working at height safely.

- Numerate and literate, with the attention to detail needed to produce accurate, reliable test records.

- Keen to learn, with a genuine interest in technical work and a commitment to structured professional development.

- Methodical, reliable and punctual, taking responsibility for preparation and getting work right first time.

- Approachable and professional with clients and colleagues; previous customer-facing experience would be useful.

- Previous technical, laboratory, engineering or field-service experience would be welcome, as would knowledge of cleanrooms, HVAC or regulated environments. A relevant science or engineering qualification is desirable rather than essential.
