Pharmaceutical Process Engineer

Turn Process Expertise into Manufacturing Impact Ready to broaden your Process Engineering experience across technology transfer, process development, scale-up, equipment implementation, and manufacturing optimisation? Join a technical team where you’ll play a key role in translating process concepts into robust, scalable, and compliant manufacturing solutions. From new product introductions and engineering trials to troubleshooting and commercialisation, you’ll work across a diverse range of technical initiatives with multidisciplinary teams. What You’ll Be Responsible For - Lead engineering deliverables across capital projects, new product introductions, technology implementation, and process improvement initiatives. - Provide technical support throughout process development, technology transfer, scale-up, and commercialisation. - Plan and execute engineering trials, process studies, experiments, and technical assessments. - Work with Technical Services and project stakeholders to establish Critical Process Parameters (CPPs) and Key Process Parameters supporting process and equipment validation. - Serve as a technical resource for assigned processes and equipment, supporting troubleshooting, investigations, design reviews, change controls, and capital planning. - Develop process concepts, feasibility assessments, processing schemes, Process Flow Diagrams (PFDs), and project scopes. - Identify opportunities to improve process safety, product quality, yield, productivity, cost effectiveness, and material efficiency. - Support automation and process engineering activities, including instrumentation requirements, control strategies, alarm philosophies, and shutdown systems. - Prepare and review GMP-compliant manufacturing procedures, master batch records, protocols, reports, and technical documentation. - Analyse technical findings and translate study outcomes into practical engineering recommendations. - Evaluate new technologies and support their integration into existing commercial manufacturing processes. - Drive scale-up and technology transfer from R&D into manufacturing, supporting successful implementation and post-launch optimisation. - Investigate manufacturing and process deviations using structured root-cause analysis and recommend corrective actions. - Develop, implement, and monitor CAPA plans arising from technical investigations and process issues. - Participate in URS preparation, equipment retrofit projects, FAT, SAT, and equipment qualification activities. - Support Quality Risk Assessments (QRA) and process hazard assessments to identify and mitigate technical and operational risks. - Develop preliminary project cost estimates and technical scopes to support CAPEX proposals and investment planning. - Manage multiple engineering activities while balancing technical requirements, project timelines, and manufacturing priorities. - Collaborate with Manufacturing, Quality, R&D, Automation, Technical Services, and Project teams to deliver effective engineering solutions. What We’re Looking For - Degree in Biomedical Sciences, Life Sciences, Engineering, or another relevant scientific or technical discipline. - 2–5 years of relevant experience in Process Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Process Development, or a related technical function. - Experience in pharmaceutical, biotechnology, biopharmaceutical, or other regulated manufacturing environments will be advantageous. - Strong technical analysis, troubleshooting, investigation, and problem-solving capabilities. - Good communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across multidisciplinary teams. - Strong written, verbal, and presentation skills. - Able to manage multiple projects and competing priorities while meeting deadlines. - Sound understanding of manufacturing processes, process development, technology transfer, scale-up, and technical operations. - Proactive and accountable approach with strong attention to detail and commitment to quality, compliance, and operational excellence.
