Apply now and join us for a life-changing career!

The Position
To meet the need of our expanding future product pipeline, our new Engineering Responsible will be responsible for commissioning and qualification of specific equipment for chromatography, ensuring that the production processes can run on the equipment. This includes, e.g.:

• Solving both practical and documentation tasks, including the preparation of qualification documents
• Preparing validation documents in English
• Running in and verification of various equipment (e.g. high and low-pressure columns for chromatography).

In this role, you will succeed by being visible, proactive, and also working independently. With your solid process understanding, you will interact and create good relationships with our various stakeholders in the project organization, the API pilot facilities, QA, external suppliers, and not least other colleagues in the CMC API Pilots area.

Qualifications
To succeed in this position, you:

• Have a science degree such as e.g. M.Sc. scientist or engineer combined with experience in the qualification of equipment in the pharmaceutical industry or have subject matter expertise within preparative chromatographic processes.
• Several years of experience in qualification of equipment according to GMP
• Several years of experience in project planning of equipment
• Fluency in written and spoken English

We are looking for a goal-oriented and communicative colleague who has a high level of initiative and proactive drive, as well as a high degree of professional curiosity. The work we do is performed and documented in accordance with GMP, hence it is expected that you have a structured approach to your work and can plan and complete your tasks accordingly. We also emphasize that you have a good spirit and proactively tackle tasks independently - even when they are not immediately put in front of you. You must be able to handle several tasks at the same time and maintain an overview in stressful situations.
