 Singer Instruments is a great place to work. We are a rapidly growing biotechnology business with a young team and modern working practices but with traditional values. We have a hi-tech, clean, dynamic workplace with a relaxed atmosphere and in which people's attitude is as important as their past experience. Nobody wears a suit! We specialise in the development,
manufacturing and sales of micromanipulation systems, laboratory robots
and associated equipment for research using yeast and bacterial models. We have up-to-date CAD/CAM facilities linked to our CNC machine shop. Singer Instruments are complete manufacturers with raw materials passing through machining, second operations, finishing and assembly, all at the same site. In addition we assemble our own electronic control units and write all the programs for our instruments in-house. Our modern, air-conditioned factory and offices are in a beautiful rural location on the edge of Exmoor in Somerset in the South West of England.
Working hours are 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday. Full-time employment includes 20 days annual leave plus bank holidays. Optional, matched pension scheme and healthcare plan available after 3 months.
Even if you don't quite fit any of the job descriptions (or there are no descriptions currently posted), but you think you've got what it takes to work here, be daring and complete the application form anyway. You never know!
