Jobs in Nature-inspired Innovation

Subscribe for new roles and industry insights - here.

Hello,

It’s been a few weeks since I curated these jobs. Work commitments have taken up my time, alongside having surgery to insert composite supports, after breaking my leg playing football (soccer), which means I’m juggling rehab and working with existing clients. These roles will be sent out every month for the next few months. I have been analysing all the previous roles and it’s clear that engineering is the main technical competency for roles, alongside knowledge of materials science, and the life sciences. The roles all require understanding sustainability, whilst having high expertise within R&D and innovation.

More on this to follow as I run this as a side project over the coming months while attempting to walk again.

Focus on what you can do, not on what you can’t!

Until next time,

Richard
