Start your career in global clinical trials

Are you highly organised, proactive and comfortable working in a fast-paced environment where priorities can change throughout the day?

Perhaps you're a recent graduate looking to take your first step into the pharmaceutical or clinical trials industry. Or you already have experience in customer service, administration, logistics or project coordination and want to build a career within a global organisation.

Thermo Fisher Scientific is looking for a Project Support Coordinator to join our busy Distribution team in Horsham.

This is an entry-level opportunity where your skills and potential matter more than previous pharmaceutical experience. If you can manage a busy workload, communicate confidently with customers and take ownership without waiting to be told what to do next, we'd love to hear from you.

You'll join our Clinical Trials Division, working alongside Project Managers to coordinate the global distribution of clinical trial supplies.

•Provide timely reports and other information to customers, as applicable.
•Provide backup support to the Project Manager and team during absences.
•Monitor Clinical Trial activities and overall business operations.
•Adhere to Good Manufacturing Principles in all areas of responsibility.

What are we looking for?

•Proficiency in learning and using internal systems associated with projects (e.g., GPMS, Trackwise).
•Strong numeracy and computer skills, including proficiency in Outlook and Excel.
