Role: EHS Programme Manager

Location: Eynsham, Oxford

Start Date: ASAP

Duration: 2 years

Rate: £400 - £500 P/day OUTSIDE IR35

Our client, a world leader in the design and manufacture of superconducting magnets for MRI body scanners, are currently building a new facility to help support consistent growth.

Construction started in April 2024, with building handover to MT planned for Dec 2025. MT's fit-out will run for six months to June 2026, when operational ramp-up will start. It is envisaged that the project will be formally closed once snagging and operational stability has been demonstrated in early 2027.

Our client are looking for an EHS Programme Manager to support the current EHS team, experienced EHS professional to manage the activities related to the applicability of the current EHS management system at the new facility. The project is divided into functional sub-workstreams, and this role would lead the EHS related activities reporting progress into the overall steering board of the new facility project. The current EHS team at MT currently manage all related activities relating to the existing facilities and would support tasks relating to the new facility in line with the requirements of the sub-workstream plan. With a small EHS team it may be necessary that as part of the role some activities may be completed by the program manager.

The Future of Quantum Computing Jobs: Careers That Don’t Exist Yet

Quantum computing is no longer confined to laboratory benches or theoretical physics journals. The UK is propelling itself into the quantum era through bold investment and strategic planning. With an updated National Quantum Strategy pledging billions of pounds in public funding through 2030, and private venture funding reaching record levels in 2024, the sector is gaining real momentum. Yet despite this surge, the UK quantum sector currently employs only around 1,700 people, with average salaries close to £50,000. At the same time, projections suggest that globally, quantum computing may drive the creation of a quarter of a million jobs by 2030, and possibly more than 800,000 by 2035. In the UK specifically, quantum-related activity could generate well over 100,000 jobs by 2055, though only a fraction would be directly within the quantum sector itself. This indicates a vast and evolving ecosystem, one where entirely new careers are likely to bloom—jobs that, today, have little or no presence. This article explores emerging quantum careers that currently don’t exist but may soon define the industry.
