Assist supervisors with daily operations and lead manufacturing activities in the supervisor’s absence as required.
Continuous Improvement:
Participate in troubleshooting and continuous improvement initiatives, applying GPS standards (e.g., 5S, problem solving) to improve safety, quality, delivery, and efficiency.
Basic Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in biological sciences, chemistry, engineering, or a related technical field. Equivalent combinations of education and experience accepted; candidates without a degree may qualify if they can have relevant GMP manufacturing experience (e.g., 3+ years in process operations, QC, or equipment maintenance) or professional certifications that show comparable technical depth.
1+ year of manufacturing or production experience.
Experience in leadership in a GMP manufacturing environment.
Experience in technical writing for GMP documentation (e.g., SOPs, MBRs, training materials), with working knowledge of GMP requirements.
Preferred Qualifications
BS or BA in a biological or chemical science degree.
Demonstrated experience authoring and maintaining technical documentation, including SOPs, work instructions, and training materials in a regulated environment.
Proven experience providing on‑floor leadership and technical guidance within a GMP manufacturing setting.
Ability to safely handle acids, bases, oxidizers, chemicals, and solvents in accordance with procedures and required PPE.
Proficient in performing basic mathematical calculations (e.g., fractions, percentages, significant figures) and accurately measuring volume and weight.
Demonstrated ability to follow detailed processing instructions and accurately document batch records and manufacturing data in compliance with GMP requirements.
Strong working knowledge of GMP principles and applicable regulatory requirements, with experience applying them in daily manufacturing operations.
Demonstrated experience using digital and automated tools (e.g., electronic batch records, automation systems, analytics) to support manufacturing execution and improve operational outcomes.
Ability to perform routine physical tasks and lift up to 40 pounds.
Willingness and ability to work first shift on‑site; this role is not hybrid or remote.
Available to work on weekends, holidays, and extra hours when needed.
Effective verbal and written communication for all organizational levels.
Demonstrated digital agility, with the ability to quickly learn and effectively use manufacturing and business systems (e.g., SAP, SCADA, MES, Microsoft Office) to support GMP operations.
Experienced with cleanroom operations with equipment such as filtration systems, chromatography, mixers, meters, scales, pumps, and parts washers.
Work Arrangement and Physical Expectations
This role is on‑site in the United States. Hybrid or remote work is not available. Multiple shift available. 2nd and 3rd shift eligible for shift differential.
You will work in a temperature‑controlled manufacturing area with possible exposure to noise and moving mechanical parts.
