Look locally for Skilled Science and Technology Professionals

Business organisations across Worcestershire and Herefordshire looking for high quality professionals from science and technology backgrounds are being encouraged by Malvern Hills District Council to look close to home for future employees.

QinetiQ provides technology-based independent advice and support to customers in its core markets of aerospace, defence and security, including military, security and civilian organisations across a broad range of international markets. 

Following a restructuring of the QinetiQ business in Malvern there are a number of highly capable and motivated individuals looking for their next work challenge.  These individuals have significant experience of working in a wide range of scientific, engineering and technical fields such as IT and information security, military and civil communication systems, electronics and surveillance.

There is also a range of more generic management, professional and business development skills available such as:-

• Commercial managers
• Sales managers
• Business Development managers
• Key Account managers
• Administrators and Secretarial support
• Marketing managers
• MOD procurement process consultants
• Project managers and Bid managers

Councillor Barbara Williams, Portfolio Holder for Economic Development at Malvern Hills District Council believes that retaining this skilled workforce is key to the future development of the area: “This district has long been associated with technology and innovation. QinetiQ, together with the growth of the Malvern Hills Science Park, has further enhanced that reputation and it would be a real shame to lose these highly qualified individuals and their expertise when it could continue to benefit the local economy.”

Any businesses who are looking to recruit locally for personnel from these disciplines, and are interested in highlighting their opportunities to them, should contact  Joanne Simpson from HDA, QinetiQ’s outplacement provider on 01202 481811 or email joanne.simpson@hda.co.uk.
