Job description

Your roleAsTechnical Lead for a PAS‑X MES Roll‑out Program, you will provide end‑to‑end technical leadership across site‑level MES implementations within a complex, multi‑site pharmaceutical manufacturing environment. You will be the go‑to technical authority, ensuring architectural consistency, integration quality, and compliance with corporate standards — all while enabling the successful delivery of your client's global digital manufacturing strategy.

In this role you will play a key role in:

• Leading all architectural and technical decisions within the PAS‑X MES roll‑out program, ensuring alignment between the global core model and local site implementations, governing configuration and integration standards, and minimising unnecessary customisations across sites.
• Overseeing end‑to‑end MES configuration activities, including workflows, forms, MBRs, gMBRs, and ESP, while ensuring the proper implementation of OT/IT interfaces and integration patterns with enterprise and shop‑floor systems including ERP, SCADA, LIMS, and Historians.
• Leading technical activities across the full testing and deployment lifecycle, including System Integration Testing (SIT), User Acceptance Testing (UAT), defect management, go‑live, and technical stabilisation, while supporting validation and qualification activities in regulated environments.
• Providing technical coordination of vendors, system integrators, automation providers, and infrastructure teams, while acting as a key technical reference for the client's Global Program Team including Program Managers and Deployment Leads.
• Driving knowledge management and governance, defining and maintaining technical documentation, implementation guidelines, and best practices to promote solution reusability, scalability, and standardisation across all manufacturing sites.
• Supporting continuous improvement initiatives within the MES program, identifying opportunities to enhance technical quality, streamline deployments, and ensure long‑term maintainability of implemented solutions.

Your profile

• Experienced MES technical professional with a minimum of 6 years of hands‑on experience in MES/MOM implementation within industrial or pharmaceutical manufacturing environments, including proven expertise in multi‑site deployment programs.
• Strong PAS‑X platform expertise, with demonstrable hands‑on experience in MES/MOM solutions, OT/IT integrations, and solid knowledge of ISA‑95 standards, enterprise and OT application architectures, and system integration and interface design.
• Technical testing and deployment experience, including SIT, UAT, defect management, and go‑live activities, with the ability to validate technical solutions against both functional and technical requirements and resolve complex issues effectively.
• Effective communicator and collaborator, able to engage confidently with both technical and business stakeholders across IT, OT, Manufacturing and Quality teams, with professional working proficiency in English.

Preferred:

• Experience in regulated industries such as Pharmaceuticals or Life Sciences, with knowledge of GAMP 5, Computer System Validation (CSV), and familiarity with template‑based global MES roll‑out programs and cross‑site standardisation initiatives.
