Mechanical Engineer – Programme Manager – Drug Delivery Devices
A period of significant growth has created an opportunity for a Programme Manager with a strong Mechanical Engineering background and deep, hands‑on experience in drug delivery device development. Based in Cambridge, you will lead multiple programmes focused on advancing next‑generation delivery platforms. Some projects will see you mentoring and guiding junior engineers, while others will require you to take ownership of core mechanical design activities yourself.
We are seeking someone who is currently working at the forefront of drug delivery technologies—such as autoinjectors, inhalers, infusion systems, wearable delivery devices, or other combination products—and who is confident translating complex user, clinical, and regulatory requirements into robust mechanical solutions. Experience with electro‑mechanical medical devices is highly advantageous, as many of the programmes you will lead involve integrated systems and multidisciplinary collaboration.
To succeed in this role, you will need to be commercially minded, able to balance technical innovation with real‑world product viability. You should have experience successfully taking medical or drug delivery products through development and into market launch, understanding the commercial, regulatory, and manufacturing considerations that shape decision‑making. This is a highly collaborative environment, so you must be comfortable working closely with internal teams, external partners, clients, and suppliers to drive programmes forward efficiently and strategically.
A strong academic foundation in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline is expected. A master’s degree or PhD would be beneficial, but industry experience in developing regulated drug delivery systems is the key requirement. Familiarity with EN60601 is useful, and a solid working knowledge of ISO 13485 and design controls for combination products is essential.
The technologies you will help shape are genuinely life‑changing—innovative drug delivery systems that improve therapeutic outcomes, enhance patient adherence, and ultimately transform lives on a global scale.
This position involves extensive communication with internal teams, external partners, and clients, so experience in roles requiring regular project updates, stakeholder management, and cross‑functional coordination will be valuable.
Many individuals who excel in this environment have a naturally technical mindset and enjoy hands‑on problem solving—whether that’s building drones, programming, tinkering with engines, or similar hobbies. If this sounds like you, make sure it’s visible on your CV.
In return, you’ll join a world‑class organisation offering a clear career development pathway, continuous technical training, an excellent salary, bonus scheme, enhanced pension, medical insurance, free meals, and the full suite of benefits expected from a global blue‑chip company.
Interest in this role will be high, so early applications are encouraged.
For more information, please contact Andrew Welsh, Director of Medical Devices, Biotech and DeepTech Recruitment at Newton Colmore, on +44 121 268 2240. Alternatively, submit your application and a member of our team will be in touch. Please note that without a CV, we can only provide limited information.....Read more...

BFT is a mast climber family business that began as a scaffolding company back in 1997. This helped create the name: BFT standing for Boards, Fittings and Tubes. This old way of working at height wasn’t enough. Client demands were changing but scaffolding wasn’t. They knew it would always be slow to erect and dismantle, awkward to transport and always limit their ambition. That’s when they spotted the enormous potential in mast climbers. The second they realised the speed and savings benefits over scaffolding, they knew this was the future and that they were the ones to lead it. For more than ten years, they've been proving the commercial benefits of Mast Climbing Work Platforms (MCWPs) to public and private sites across the UK. Five times more efficient than traditional scaffolding, they are proud to use MCWPs to save businesses thousands of project hours each year.BFT are offering an exciting opportunity for four Engineering Operative Apprentices to join their experienced engineering and fabrication team. This apprenticeship is ideal for individuals who enjoy practical, hands-on work and are looking to develop the skills, knowledge and experience needed for a successful career in engineering and fabrication.As an Engineering Operative Apprentice, you will work alongside experienced engineers and fabricators, learning how to build, repair, service and prepare a wide range of mechanical equipment and site-ready components.

You will support service engineers with equipment inspections, basic servicing, cleaning and the preparation of equipment ready for turnaround. You will also help ensure that ladders, handrails, mast guards, gates, panels and other equipment are complete, inspected and ready for dispatch to customer sites.As your skills develop, you will learn a range of engineering and fabrication techniques, including the fundamentals of welding, mechanical assembly and the safe operation of workshop machinery and tools. You will be encouraged to take pride in producing high-quality work while following company procedures and health and safety requirements at all times.The role will also involve carrying out quality checks to identify any obvious defects, missing parts or safety issues before equipment is sent to the site. You will assist with handling and organising stock, including panels, cables, guards and other components, while helping to maintain a clean, tidy and safe workshop environment that supports the efficient day-to-day operation of the business.This apprenticeship provides an excellent opportunity to gain valuable industry experience, work towards a nationally recognised qualification and build the practical skills needed for a rewarding career within the engineering sector.
