Equipment Project Lead - Freelance (Limburg)

Vivid Resourcing Ltd; Limburg; On-site; EUR 92,000 - 148,000; Full time

Job summary

Vivid Resourcing Ltd is sourcing a freelance Projectingenieur for a manufacturing site in Limburg. The role focuses on bridging engineering and purchasing, guiding suppliers, and owning the equipment development lifecycle from specification to FAT/SAT.

You will translate needs into equipment requirements, drive risk assessments, oversee V-model processes, and ensure compliance with GMP-related standards. Dutch and English fluency required; start Nov/Dec; 12 months; 40 hours/week.

Qualifications

• Translates process/product needs into clear equipment requirements.
• Drafts user and functional requirements with acceptance criteria.
• Leads risk assessments and FMEA on equipment projects.
• Guides suppliers through design reviews and verification.
• Manages equipment lifecycle using a V-model approach.
• Familiar with GMP/regulatory requirements.

Responsibilities

• Translate process/product/business needs into clear equipment requirements and specifications. Draft user and functional requirements, define acceptance criteria and associated test cases, and maintain traceability between requirements and verification.
• Determine what needs to be controlled and tested based on equipment/process risk. Participate in or lead FMEA/risk assessments, translating identified risks into design requirements, controls, acceptance criteria and testing.
• Own or coordinate the equipment lifecycle using a V-model approach: user/process needs → requirements/specification → supplier design/development → testing/verification → acceptance/implementation. Ensure that requirements established at the beginning are demonstrably verified later in the project.
• Act as the technical interface between the internal organisation and equipment vendors. Rather than personally engineering the machine, guide and challenge suppliers developing the equipment. Review proposed technical solutions, specifications, designs, software/configurations and documentation against the defined requirements.
• Take equipment projects from initial need through specification, supplier engagement, development, acceptance and implementation. Coordinate engineering, users/process owners, quality/regulatory stakeholders, automation and external vendors.
• Define the verification strategy and test cases and support or lead design reviews, FAT/SAT and other acceptance/qualification activities as appropriate. Manage deviations or gaps against requirements and ensure they are resolved before final acceptance.
• Identify the regulations, standards and internal procedures relevant to the equipment and translate them into practical requirements. GMP experience is helpful, but the underlying capability seems more important: someone who knows how to interpret a regulatory/standards framework and engineer against it.
