Innovating Talent Solutions for Tomorrow's Workforce

Like in every industry, research and development (R&D) is required to identify needs, requirements, markets, effects, and more, to innovate and improve products, services, or processes. The life science sector is no different. It’s critical in discovering, designing, and developing new medications, diagnostic tools, and medical devices.

Across all branches of life science, R&D professionals are in demand so companies can explore new markets, speed up healthcare solutions, and remain competitive. With a strong affiliation with the integration of cutting-edge technologies and a strong focus on regulatory compliance, we can source and match these skilled professionals with organisations aiming to advance healthcare solutions.

With key locations in the life science heartlands of Chicago, IL and Cork, Ireland, as well as a global reach across the continents, Orion can provide you with a wealth of R&D recruitment options, industry consulting services, and a strategic and flexible plan to help life science companies achieve their goals of contributing towards a healthier world.

Key Roles

Discover the Key Roles We Fill in the R&D within Life Science

At Orion, we come across a wide variety of roles and positions for R&D. Here is a list of the most common roles that companies are recruiting for:

Laboratory Technicians are the foundation of every research facility. These professionals are involved in preparing samples, conducting experiments, analyzing results, and maintaining strict safety protocols. They operate advanced equipment and ensure that every task meets industry standards, supporting crucial research that leads to the development of new medications, genetic engineering, and other medical breakthroughs.

At Orion, we connect you with skilled Lab Techs who are technically proficient and detail-oriented. Whether you're a company looking for top talent or a candidate seeking new opportunities, our recruitment solutions ensure that your needs are met quickly and effectively. Trust us to handle the recruitment process, so you can focus on what matters most.

Having an understanding of a particular branch within the Life Science industry, such as Biotech, Pharma, Quality, or Manufacturing, coupled with an eye for detail, a technical writer plays an important role in the life science industry by translating complex scientific information into clear, concise documentation for future improvement and guidance. They create user manuals, standard operating procedures, and regulatory documents for laboratory equipment, software, and processes.

Within an R&D capacity, these writers collaborate with scientists, engineers, and regulatory experts to ensure accuracy and compliance with industry standards. Their work is essential for effective communication between researchers, manufacturers, and end-users, facilitating the proper use of biotech products and technologies.

Clinical Research Associates (CRAs) are pivotal in the testing and evaluation of new drugs and medical treatments. They plan, monitor, and manage clinical trials, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards and ethical guidelines. CRAs play a vital role in protecting trial participants and analysing data to support the development of safe, effective treatments.

At Orion, we know the value of placing experienced CRAs with organisations at the forefront of medical innovation. Whether you're a client seeking the right candidate or a CRA looking for your next opportunity, we streamline the process, ensuring you find the right fit quickly and with minimal hassle.

 

Scientists in life sciences are at the heart of innovation. From Cancer Genomics to Clinical Immunology, their research drives the development of new therapies, diagnostics, and treatments. These professionals are key in analysing data, conducting experiments, and uncovering insights into diseases and biological processes.

Orion connects top scientists with the right roles, using our deep industry knowledge to place the right talent in the right positions. Whether you’re a life science company looking to hire or a scientist seeking new challenges, we have the expertise to help you achieve your goals efficiently.
