GMP

Precision hiring for regulated environments.

GMP manufacturing is where science becomes medicine. It's where the standards are highest, the margins for error are smallest, and the cost of a wrong hire is measured in compliance failures, production delays, and patient risk.

  • "I’ve been a friend of Brett’s for years now. I worked with him as the candidate in the beginning and had such a wonderful experience that I stayed in touch with him and we developed a friendship. Fast forward several years later and our conversations turned into a request for support, and he delivered. The whole process was seamless, and he made it as frictionless as possible along the way. I gave honest feedback of each candidate I interviewed and overtime the candidates became more and more aligned to our company culture. Not just suitable for the role, but suitable to fit within our organisation and be a valued long term member of the team. I would tell anyone who asks for recruiting support to work with Brett and SCI, and just ignore the rest.”

  • "I’ve known Brett for many years and have had the opportunity to see first-hand the way he operates within the life sciences engineering and construction space. What sets Brett apart is that he is genuinely embedded in the industry, not just working alongside it as a recruiter. He has built a strong global network across life sciences EPC, with deep connections spanning both technical specialists and senior leadership. This gives him a level of insight and access that is difficult to replicate. Brett understands the complexities of our sector, from project delivery through to organisational build-out, and he approaches every search with that context in mind. He is not simply filling roles, he is helping secure the talent they need to execute critical projects and drive growth. I would strongly recommend partnering with Brett and Stanley Cowton International.”
