Job Description

Description:

At this company we believe in passionately working toward helping patients Do More, Feel Better, and Live Longer. We do this by supporting our energetic, dynamic teams.

Under the direction of senior personnel, you will perform production operations including cell culture operations, preparation of media and buffer solutions, chromatographic separation, sterile filtration, and concentration operations. Work with various equipment including: bioreactors, tanks, chromatography columns, agitators, filtration devices, centrifuges, autoclaves, washers, computers and software, and other instrumentation. Time management skills, clear communication, self-motivation, and team work will be required for this position.

Within this team your duties will include;

• Being able to work a flexible shift schedule which includes coverage every other weekend. Includes possible placement on AM or PM shifts.

• Completing daily manufacturing tasks per cGMPs, standard operating procedures, and batch document instructions

• Monitoring critical process parameters

• Documenting all manufacturing activities clearly and accurately.

• Active participation in effective troubleshooting of equipment and processing issues

• Ensuring all processing equipment and materials necessary are adequate and available to set the team up for success

• Maintaining a high level of mechanical and technical aptitude and training

• Ensuring all production activities are completed in a safe and compliant manor.

• Joining a diverse shift team that will rely on consistent contributions to be successful

QUALIFICATIONS:

• Prefer 4 year degree in biological/life science, but not required

• HS Diploma or equivalent is required

• Strongly desire background in science & technology, not just manufacturing

• PLEASE NOTE: We ask for more Level 1 candidates that include career change, veterans, and non-degreed/2yr degree/Cert that may have some sort of technical or trade background (often we look for mechanical, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, etc). We are experiencing (often) that the biochem, chem E, and Masters folks are more research based and just aren’t as interested or engaged in entry level production roles.

NEW - Basic computer literacy must be vetted prior to submittal. Windows navigation, email, video conferencing, file system (saving and locating saved files), internet navigation.

Looking more of manufacturing background not extreme but some exposure or some kind of mechanical experience because there is not a crossover with customer service/retail skill sets. Computer skills are the biggest feedback as they need to know basic computer skills, how to use Gmail and outlook.

· Minimum Manufacturing experience is acceptable but Pharma experience is preferred- if sending candidates with packaging experience it should be more GMP or documentation.

· Refinery background or any clean room experience will be considered

· Needs a degree in any type of science field (even with no experience they are aware this is an entry level job but must have a degree)
