🔬 Join a Dynamic Regulatory Team in the Crop Protection Industry!


The Client :

For over thirty years, our client, an Irish-owned family firm, has been a trusted supplier of plant protection products. They are keen on making sure their customers have a good experience all round, building proper long-lasting relationships, and keeping them coming back for more through good old-fashioned loyalty. At the heart of what they do, you'll find integrity, respect, honesty, and accountability.


They are quite flexible, offering remote or hybrid options depending on where you're based in Ireland, the UK, or across Europe.

  • Project Management : Manage product trials directly or through strategic partnership with Contract Research Organisations (CROs) for specific parts of the project lifecycle.

What You'll Bring to the Table :

  • A minimum of a Bachelor of Science (BSc) degree in a Life Sciences, Science, or Agronomy subject.
  • Experience in regulatory affairs within a generic R&D company, consultancy, or CRO.
  • A solid, practical grasp of EU regulatory frameworks, with demonstrable experience focusing on Article 34 of EU Regulation 1107 / 2009 for crop protection products.
  • Proven ability to handle regulatory dossier preparation.
  • Excellent written and spoken English, able to explain complicated technical information clearly and concisely.
  • A can-do, solution-focused attitude with a real drive to get things done, particularly managing a high volume of projects.
  • Great organisational skills and a keen eye for detail.

Bonus Points If You Have :

  • Some knowledge of the crop protection industry, including the technical side, commercial bits, farming methods, and specific crop issues.
  • Fluency in another major European language.

What's in it for You :

  • A competitive salary that reflects your experience.
  • The flexibility of working remotely or hybrid depending on your location (Ireland, UK, or Europe).
  • The chance to work for a sound and growing Irish-owned company with a good reputation.
  • A real opportunity to get involved in important technical and regulatory decisions and help shape our product strategy.

How Many Medical Technology Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Medical Technology Job?

If you’re pursuing a career in medical technology, it can feel like the toolkit is endlessly long: imaging systems, data analysis software, regulatory platforms, testing frameworks, prototyping tools, CAD, quality management systems, signal processing libraries and more. Scroll job boards or LinkedIn, and it’s easy to think you need to know every tool under the sun just to secure an interview. Here’s the honest truth most hiring managers won’t explicitly tell you: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool — they hire you because you understand the underlying principles and can apply the right tool in the right context to solve real problems. Tools matter — absolutely — but they are secondary to problem-solving ability, clinical awareness, engineering rigour and the ability to deliver safe, reliable solutions. So how many medical technology tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the answer is far fewer than you think. This article explains what employers really want, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to focus your learning so you look confident, competent and end-game ready.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Medical Technology Job Applications (UK Guide)

Medical technology (MedTech) is one of the most dynamic and high-impact sectors in the UK — spanning medical devices, diagnostics, digital health, AI-assisted systems, wearables, imaging, robotics and clinical software. At the same time, hiring managers are exceptionally selective because MedTech roles demand technical excellence, regulated safety awareness, clinical context and cross-disciplinary collaboration. Whether you’re applying for roles in R&D, engineering, quality & regulatory, clinical validation, product management or software development for medical systems, hiring managers don’t read every word of your CV. They scan it quickly — often deciding within the first 10–20 seconds whether to continue reading. This guide breaks down exactly what hiring managers look for first in medical technology applications — and how you can make your CV, portfolio and cover letter stand out in the UK market.

The Skills Gap in Medical Technology Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Medical technology — also known as medtech — is transforming healthcare. Innovations in diagnostics, imaging, wearable sensors, robotics, telehealth, digital therapeutics and advanced prosthetics are improving outcomes and saving lives. As the UK’s National Health Service (NHS) modernises and a thriving life sciences sector expands, demand for medtech professionals is growing rapidly. Yet employers across the UK consistently report a frustrating problem: many graduates are not ready for real medtech jobs. Despite strong academic credentials, candidates often lack the practical, interdisciplinary skills needed to contribute effectively from day one. This is not a question of effort or intelligence. It is a widening skills gap between university education and the applied demands of medical technology roles. This article explores that gap in depth — what universities are teaching well, where programmes fall short, why the gap persists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build thriving careers in medical technology.
