The core laboratory IT team is responsible for the delivery of core laboratory IT systems to the laboratory, including LIMS, results analysis software, integration components and quality systems. This team must ensure a robust and quality-driven approach to the capture of requirements, creation of design artefacts, validation of delivery of software and management of change. Areas of delivery may include integration changes involving wider client upstream and downstream systems, workflow changes to the existing COVID ePCR testing lines, integration to new instrumentation, and may also include introduction of new testing capabilities, including genome sequencing.

The client has asked you to look at the questions below. If you can answer “Yes” to all of them, then you are the type of candidate we want to hear from. When you apply for the job, please add your answers to the questions below in your submission.

Do you have PM experience of full lifecycle software implementation in an integrated environment?
o Note – full lifecycle meaning full implementation of new solution rather than upgrade or enhancement

• If the answer is yes, it would be good to get a short statement with some key details, when applying for the job:
o Name of solution and technology delivered
o Top three challenges of that project
o Short statement on the technical & functional complexity of the solution delivered

The successful candidate will have a valid DBS or be willing to apply for one on CV submission or when a job offer has been made and accepted. This assignment sits inside IR35.
