Contract Development & Manufacturing

We are currently supporting a well‑established healthcare manufacturer undergoing a period of significant expansion across multiple sites. Due to a growing portfolio of CapEx projects and increased operational demand, the organisation is seeking an experienced Validation Officer to provide critical support to the validation function.

Having partnered with this business for over 15 years, we have a strong understanding of their culture and high expectations around quality, communication, and collaboration. This role provides the opportunity to contribute to a series of meaningful projects within a GMP‑regulated environment where natural health, nutraceutical and pharmaceutical products are all manufactured to pharmaceutical standards.

While this is an interim role, it represents an exciting opportunity to make a visible impact on key technical and site expansion initiatives.

 

Key Responsibilities:

• Leading the process to bring a previously outsourced filling line back in‑house, including full process reversal, tech transfer, and process development activities.
• Delivering validation activities across equipment, systems, and processes (IQ, OQ, PQ).
• Supporting equipment installation, upgrades, replacements, and expansions across the manufacturing facility.
• Contributing to multiple new and ongoing projects.

 

Experience & Requirements:

• Strong experience in process validation and the full validation lifecycle (IQ/OQ/PQ).
• Experience with tech transfer, equipment installation, and modifying existing systems.
• Demonstrated experience in GMP and pharmaceutical manufacturing.
• (Bonus) Experience in project management or supporting CapEx programmes.
• Ability to integrate quickly into a fast-paced team and adapt to evolving project needs.

 

Contract Details

• 3‑month contract (with opportunity for extension based on performance and project load).
• Ideally full-time (37.5 hours/week) or 4 days per week (30 hours).
• On-site in Wimbledon.
• Start date: ASAP (within 2-4 weeks preferred).

We're partnered with a growing pharmaceutical organisation expanding its CMC team across multiple UK sites. This is a newly created role driven by operational demand, offering real scope to shape CMC strategy and get hands-on with impactful projects from day one.

We're looking for an experienced CMC Manager to play a pivotal role in bringing cutting-edge pharmaceutical products from concept to GMP manufacturing. Working at the intersection of research and production, you’ll help transform innovative science into robust, scalable processes while supporting the introduction of new pharmaceutical products and major site expansion projects.

This is a highly visible role where you’ll act as the go-to expert for process development, validation, and manufacturing readiness in a fast-growing environment.

 

What We're Looking For:

Option 1 – Radiopharmacy Background

• Experience in a radiopharmaceutical environment with a solid understanding of how the wider business operates
• Minimum 2 years in radiopharmaceutical production, QC or QA

 

Option 2 – Project Management & Sterile Manufacturing Background

• Strong project management experience - implementation, structured planning and proactive project delivery
• Background in sterile pharmaceutical manufacturing

 

In both cases, we're looking for someone who is:

• Hands-on, dynamic and proactive
• A strong communicator and persuasive collaborator
• Comfortable with occasional travel across Europe (up to 10%)
• Degree in pharmaceutical sciences, chemistry or a related discipline

 

We're moving quickly on this role - if you're interested, apply early as the advert may close ahead of schedule.
