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.

  • Strategic Development: Take ownership of larger, more significant projects focused on formulation development. This includes preparing technical dossiers, identifying alternative formulants and raw materials, and moving products to the next stage of development.
  • 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.

  • Excellent written and spoken English, able to explain complicated technical information clearly and concisely.

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 chance to work for a sound and growing Irish-owned company with a good reputation.

Neurodiversity in Medical Technology Careers: Turning Different Thinking into a Superpower

Medical technology sits at the intersection of health, engineering & innovation. From imaging & diagnostics to digital health apps, wearables & surgical robotics, medtech is about solving complex real-world problems that directly affect patients’ lives. To do that well, the sector needs people who think differently. If you live with ADHD, autism or dyslexia, you may have been told your brain is “too distracted”, “too literal” or “too disorganised” for a regulated, safety-critical industry. In reality, many traits that made school or previous jobs difficult can be huge strengths in medical technology – from pattern-spotting in clinical data to meticulous attention to detail in device testing. This guide is for neurodivergent job seekers exploring medical technology careers in the UK. We’ll cover: What neurodiversity means in a medtech context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths map to common medtech roles Practical workplace adjustments you can ask for under UK law How to talk about your neurodivergence in applications & interviews By the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of where you might thrive in medical technology – & how to turn “different thinking” into a genuine superpower.

Medical Technology Hiring Trends 2026: What to Watch Out For (For Job Seekers & Recruiters)

As we move into 2026, the medical technology (MedTech) jobs market in the UK is changing fast. Hospitals and health systems are under pressure to do more with less. Diagnostics and devices are becoming smarter, more connected and more regulated. AI, robotics and remote monitoring are no longer “future tech” – they’re being built into mainstream care pathways. At the same time, budgets are tight, funding cycles are uneven and some healthtech start-ups are consolidating or being acquired. That means fewer vague “innovation” roles and more focus on medical technology jobs that directly support regulatory approval, patient safety, NHS adoption and commercial growth. Whether you are a MedTech job seeker planning your next move, or a recruiter building teams for medical device, diagnostics or digital health companies, this guide breaks down the key medical technology hiring trends for 2026.
