Qualified and experienced technical, quality, and scientific staff placements

Our technical and scientific staff resourcing solutions are an effective alternative to in-house recruitment in key areas of need, especially for companies in the pharmaceutical industry. This includes technical staff, quality assurance resources, scientific roles, validation engineers, and controls engineering expertise.

Technical and Scientific Staff Resourcing Solutions

The resources we can provide to your organisation as an alternative to in-house recruitment will be qualified to engineer-level and will have expertise specific to your requirements. This includes scientific roles (chemists, lab analysts, etc) for pharmaceutical laboratories as well as technical staff with scientific skills. In the case of the latter, we upskill our technical resources via our in-house Pharma Lab Apprenticeship initiative.

Our technical and scientific staff resourcing solutions are fully customisable to ensure you get the resources you need on terms that suit your requirements. This includes short-term staff resourcing, long-term placements, open-ended solutions, and everything in between.

We have experience placing qualified technical and scientific resources in companies across a range of sectors in multiple countries, as well as at various levels of seniority from engineer to senior chemist to project manager to technical consultant. To learn more and to discuss your technical and/or scientific staff resourcing requirements, please get in touch.

Scientific Staff Resourcing Solutions

Digital transformation initiatives alongside a general increase in the use of automation and digital technologies are not only changing how pharmaceutical companies operate but also the skills and resources that are required.

Pressures remain on the availability of purely scientific roles. There is also a growing need for resources with a blend of scientific and technical skills, as well as resources with quality assurance, validation, and operational technology (OT) skills and capabilities.

As Westbourne offers unique staffing expertise to pharmaceutical companies, we can meet your requirements for scientific resources. This includes solving immediate skills shortage challenges as well as longer-term or project-based resource requirements.

Technical Staffing Solutions

We also work with clients in a broad range of industries providing technical staff resourcing solutions in a range of circumstances, including:

  • Project-based – boosting the skills and resources available to your organisation to complete large IT projects including digital transformation projects, Windows migrations, cloud migrations, and more.
  • Staff absences – a flexible approach to ensuring you have ongoing technical capabilities when permanent staff are unavailable due to absence.
  • Augmented capabilities – enhance the skills and capabilities of your technical resources with specific expertise from the Westbourne team.
  • In-house team alternative – we also work with clients who have operations where Westbourne staff are the only technical resources on-site. This includes clients with technical teams in a different location who liaise closely with the Westbourne technical resources allocated to their satellite facility.

The Skills You Need, Where and When You Need Them

The technical and scientific landscape in pharmaceutical companies is going through a period of rapid change. The old ways of doing things, where IT, OT, and science operate in silos, are no longer viable. Breaking down those silos requires having resources with the right blend of IT, OT, and scientific skills. This is where Westbourne can add significant value to your organisation, helping you modernise, increase productivity, and achieve your goals. Get in touch to learn more.

Technical and Scientific Staff Resourcing FAQs

What levels of qualification and experience can we expect?

For technical roles, the staff we place in your organisation will be qualified to engineer level. They will also have direct experience based on your requirements. For example, if you need IT support for your pharmaceutical laboratory, the engineers we allocate will have pharmaceutical laboratory skills.

For quality assurance and scientific roles, the staff we place are qualified with relevant engineering or scientific degrees, from quality assurance engineers to chemists.

Will the staffing resources you allocate be consistent?

Consistency is important when placing staffing resources, especially in highly regulated and demanding environments like those in the pharmaceutical industry. While we can’t make 100 percent guarantees, we will do everything we can to ensure staffing remains consistent.

What happens if our needs change?

We understand that staffing, skills, and resource requirements can change for a number of reasons. Therefore, we will work with you to adapt our services to suit your changing needs.
