It's crazy how long the hiring process is dragged out

Anyone know how long after a medical you can wait to get a start date with Regeneron?

Well what's your current skillset/qualifications? Any science degree will cover you, you'll be trained from scratch even if it's not Biotech related, I know a few with very random qualifications like sports nutrition or that kind of thing, do a one year Springboard course if you have no scientific background, they're desperate for staff at the moment getting worse every day so big up any qualification you have and be all enthusiastic about working here and you'll be in with a good shot but a science qualification is pretty much required.

The jobs are up on most job sites and the main website:

Biotech Production Specialist is the main job people go for here, there are hundreds of them, but it's good to be able to say you've applied for other roles aswell they seem to like that so go for a few.

If you're really unqualified you could go for the Manufacturing Support roles in that list, you do see people doing 12-18 months of that then being made into BPSs after that if they're not fcuk ups, a few have gone that route, it's low skill moving stuff around and cleaning equipment but it's better money than a lot of jobs from what I hear and you'll be a shoe in for other roles after it especially if you upskill during it.

They are desperate for staff at the moment with all the young ones finishing their contracts after the big intake last year so there's never been a better time to try. Good luck.

If you worked in a place like Regeneron before you'll get a full time position, if it's your first time you'll have to do a contract, most places in Ireland are like this. It's not like other places that string people along with endless contracts though, if you're good at the job you'll do a quick interview at the end and then you're full time. They're begging people to stay on at the minute.

Unlimited opportunities for overtime, begging emails every week for it practically.

Id say looking at your experience your choices are go for entry level and work up or do a one year springboard or conversion course into science and start as a BPS, you'll be doing a contract either way. Thats for the science roles BTW maybe you can get a good job in the offices with that experience, I'm not too sure.

And forget about the 40k, it's 33% shift allowance with bonuses and other stuff, you'll be a lot higher than that whatever role you get...

Hi folks, 

Just passed my medical for Regeneron, expecting a job offer soon with a bit of luck!

So, does anyone have any info what its like to work there at the moment and what kind of perks come with the job? 

I have heard that they sometimes offer a signing on bonus, any truth in this? 

Cheers :)

Nah no signing bonuses for the positions discussed in this thread, not a hope.

Contact them on the website, all that stuff got cancelled because of covid a couple of years ago but it's all restrictions lifted now.

Thanks lads few days after posting I got the call!.. starting soon..

No its full bloods/urine/sight/hearing/ecg/lung capacity and a few stretches in front of the doctor.

Have a read back through this thread all the answers are there, they're looking for enthusiastic people who know you should never deviate from procedures and always escalate something wrong to their team lead or supervisor straight away, pretend you're that way in the interview and you'll be grand.

You're in with a good chance at the minute they're still desperate for staff and are taking on people with any industry experience even if they have no college degree. Read the Wiki article for Good Manufacturing Practice and emphasize sticking to it and the SOPs.

Its biotech production from recombinant cells in bioreactors so a read up on that kind of thing wont kill you, phone interview is very casual though just filtering out the no-hopers. If they ask what you think your day to day activities will be just say taking samples and making sure everything is in spec, that will cover 90% of it.

I don't have any details but I heard its very basic and just checking if you can read and follow simple instructions.

Just applied for a data entry clerk. If I get an interview does anyone have any ideas on basic salary and hours for this role? Would I be on shift work too?

It is a temporary 1 year contract and I can’t see this information on the application.

I've applied for several positions at the same time, a few were rejected but the data entry clerk is still pending. So hopefully I’ll get an interview!

Thank you! 🙂
