📍 Manchester-based (Hybrid) | 💼 Full-Time | 🌍 UK-wide applicants welcome

 

 

Our client is on a mission to modernise how the life sciences industry approaches MES — and they need a Senior Solution Consultant to help lead that charge.

 

You’ll be designing and delivering next-generation MES solutions using cutting-edge, low-code technology. Think smarter, faster deployments — in highly regulated, high-impact environments.

 

This is more than a deployment role. It’s an opportunity to rethink MES from the ground up. You’ll be the bridge between technical possibilities and real-world manufacturing transformation.

 

🧩 Work closely with pharma and biotech clients to understand business processes and pain points
🛠 Translate those insights into elegant, compliant MES solutions
🔗 Design integration pathways between MES and ERP, lab devices, IoT, and equipment interfaces
📝 Run requirement-gathering workshops and develop clear, actionable specifications
🎯 Support project delivery from concept to post-go-live improvement
💬 Collaborate with developers, PMs, and stakeholders across global teams
🚀 Contribute to pre-sales efforts and mentor junior consultants

 

✅ 5+ years delivering MES solutions (Tulip or similar platforms – e.g. Siemens, Rockwell, Koerber, etc.)
✅ Strong experience in integration: ERP, lab systems, IoT, machines
✅ A practical grasp of GMP, GAMP5, and 21 CFR Part 11
✅ Familiarity with business process mapping from URS to validation
✅ Confident working across Fit-Gap, presales, and improvement phases
✅ Curious, modern mindset — excited by low-code tools and continuous improvement
✅ Experience in regulated life sciences is essential

 

 

🌍 Global exposure — join a team operating across the UK, Brazil, Thailand, and beyond
🧠 Learn low-code MES from one of the most advanced teams in the space
🤝 Culture of openness, innovation, and genuine collaboration
📈 Opportunities to push the boundaries of what MES can be — not just repeat legacy deployments

🏖 25 days holiday
