Quality Control working within microbiology, sterilisation, and project participation
Quality Control (QC) is a team of 22 skilled and dedicated colleagues. The Specialists and Associated Manager of the QC lab are reporting to the QC Director. The QC laboratory is responsible for analysis of raw materials, components, intermediates, and finished products. Most of the analyses performed are microbiological and physical tests. The analytical results form the basis for the final release of our medical devices and combination products to the market. Consequently, we work according to GMP and ISO 13485.
 
QC also holds the responsibility for external sterilisation processes (γ- and e-beam-irradiation and ethylene oxide), environmental monitoring of production areas and stability studies. Further the QC team holds the microbial competences and supports operations and development within this area.
We are involved in daily operation as well as providing support for various product development projects and optimisation projects ensuring compliance both internally as well as with our external partner and subcontractors. We are responsible for stability studies on marketed products. Our work environment is very welcoming and characterised by team spirit and helpfulness, also in busy times.
 
Your role
Reporting to the QC Director you will be responsible for daily support to development projects and operation together with the rest of the QC team. You will take on a broad and interesting role with regular contact to the on-site organisation and external partners supporting our on-site production in quality, sterilization, and microbiological issues. Daily tasks involve analysing OOS on finished products and handing deviations and CAPAs. You will also represent QC in projects such as equipment qualification, analytical methods evaluation and tasks related to compliance and optimizing processes e.g., reducing sampling sizes.
 
Your primary tasks cover:

• QC representative in product development projects in microbiology, sterilization, environmental monitoring and design transfer to QC
• Support to R&D and Operations within microbiology, endotoxin testing monitoring of sterilization
• Contact to external collaborators and participate in audits
• Guidance and support of QC technicians 
• Handling deviations, CAPAs and changes
• Validation/verification of microbial analytical methods and implementation of new methods in QC
• Prepare and maintain documents and instructions in the quality management system

 
About you
You have gathered QC experience, perhaps with some degree of specialization to your profile. You thrive in a role offering a good balance of daily tasks and project work. You are comfortable in an organisation, where specialists are not placed in a narrow silo, but often must take a broader scope. You have a quality mindset, but you also know when to be flexible and pragmatic to find solutions. You are comfortable sometimes taking decisions on the spot and you can work as part of team to find the best way forward.
 
The role requires:

• Work experience from a similar role within pharma, medical device, or food
• A master’s degree within pharmacy, biology, human biology, engineering or similar
• Some years of practical experience with QC laboratory tasks
• Experience with microbial test methods, endotoxin testing, and other testing of sterile medical devices is a huge advantage
• Strong knowledge of microbiological challenges and issues related to production of sterile products would be an advantage
• Fluency in Danish and English, written and spoken
