About Us
Altus Science is a globally recognised leader in the production of Certified Reference Materials (CRMs), primarily serving the pharmaceutical industry. We are an SME (Small and Medium-sized Enterprise) that is rapidly expanding on a global scale, and we take great pride in our family-oriented culture where individuals are treated with respect and valued for their contributions. As an SME, we understand the importance of delivering on time and ensuring that our technical projects are executed efficiently.

Our team culture is built on integrity, collaboration, and continuous improvement. We are looking for someone who not only excels in their technical capabilities but also understands the unique value of working in an SME environment. If you have a track record of delivering successful projects in a fast-paced, high-performance environment and can articulate why you thrive in a smaller, close-knit organization as opposed to a large corporate structure, we'd love to hear from you.
