Are you a CMC, process development or validation specialist? Maybe a bit of all three?

This is a unique and fantastic opportunity to join one of Europe’s leading healthcare and pharmaceutical businesses as they continue their expansion across the UK and Europe.

Working in a small facility in Greater Manchester, this position will be responsible for helping to establish new processes for product introduction and commercial scale up. In addition to this, there will be responsibility for full life cycle validation activities across a range of laboratory and manufacturing equipment.

Given the site size and business culture, this role requires a hands on, “can do” approach. Strong stakeholder skills are as crucial as your technical capability.

For further details, please apply or contact Mark Bux-Ryan.

We are now looking to speak with QPs across the UK for several new positions that are being hired due to an increase in manufacturing operations.

Having successfully partnered with this business to hire a number of critical positions due to expansion and increased product demand, these most recent requirements are the start of a new phase of growth in the Quality team.

The business specialises within advanced sterile products and will require QPs that are flexible to be based on site for releasing activities and who can be flexible on starting hours. Given the nature of the product, the company offers a fantastic opportunity for specific product training in a sterile manufacturing environment.

Experience:

• Eligible QP status within the UK
• Experience in sterile manufacturing preferred but not essential
• Eligibility as an RP is a nice to have but is not essential
• Strong stakeholder skills with the ability to work in a small and dynamic team
• Willingness and flexibility to be on site as required for releasing duties
