• Ensure traceability between requirements, testing and qualification documentation
• Collaborate closely with Engineering, Production, Quality and equipment suppliers
• Troubleshoot technical and qualification issues and drive them to resolution.

Skills & Qualifications

• You hold an Engineering degree or equivalent technical background
• You have experience as a C&Q Engineer, able to work autonomously
• And solid hands‑on C&Q experience within pharmaceutical / GMP environments
• An experience with filling machines or complete filling lines strongly preferred
• You have a strong background in FAT/SAT and equipment qualification
• You are able to understand and challenge equipment suppliers from both a technical and GMP/C&Q standpoint
• You are pragmatic, field‑oriented profile — not purely documentation-focused
• You are fluent in both English and French.

Mandatory Availability

This role requires two extended assignments abroad for FAT activities, each approximately three weeks long, planned for January and February 2027. Availability for both periods is essential and will be confirmed early in the process.

What We Offer

• A human‑scaled consulting company focused on expertise, partnership, and career development
• Long‑term assignments with leading pharmaceutical players
• Continuous learning through technical coaching, training, and knowledge sharing
• A supportive culture that values autonomy, trust, and impact
