Eurofins CDMO Alphora Inc. is a leading contract development and manufacturing organization specializing in complex active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). We are looking for a driven Process Specialist to join our Technology Transfer team and play a key role in bringing innovative chemical processes from development to full-scale GMP manufacturing.

This is an exciting opportunity for an early-career professional who is passionate about pharmaceutical manufacturing, thrives in a fast-paced technical environment, and loves collaborating across diverse scientific and operational teams.

About the Role

As a Process Specialist, you will serve as a critical bridge between our R&D teams, Operations, and our clients. Working under the guidance of senior team members, you will help design, implement, and support safe, scalable, and compliant manufacturing processes within our cGMP facilities.

This client-facing, cross-functional role offers hands‑on exposure to every stage of the manufacturing lifecycle—from process design and batch record generation to on-the-floor support and production troubleshooting. It’s the perfect entry point for someone eager to grow into a technical operations, technology transfer, or manufacturing leadership path.

Be a Key Contributor to Process Scale-Up & Technology Transfer

• Support the generation, review, and execution of Master Batch Records (MBRs), Production Batch Records (PBRs), and Executed Batch Records (EBRs).
• Provide technical support during manufacturing campaigns, spending required time “on the floor” to guide batch execution.

Drive Operational Readiness & Project Success

• Participate in batch scheduling, readiness checks, material availability reviews, and daily Operations activities.
• Support Material Readiness by coordinating bills of materials (BOMs) and maintaining tracking tools.
• Contribute to Campaign Summary Reports and process data trending to support continuous improvement.

Serve as the Operations Point of Contact

• Represent Operations in internal and external project meetings.
• Provide timely production updates to clients and help maintain strong communication throughout each project.
• Assist in managing process deviations, amendments, SOP updates, and other quality-related activities.

Contribute to a Culture of Safety & Compliance

• Uphold cGMP, Environmental Health & Safety (EHS), Good Documentation Practices, and internal procedures.
• Ensure accurate, timely documentation and elevate any incidents or concerns.

Participate in On-Call Support (as per rotation)

• Provide after-hours support to resolve processing issues, report IPCs, and collaborate with QA, R&D, and Ops leadership when needed.

What You Bring

• A degree in chemistry, chemical engineering, life sciences, or a related discipline.
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to safety and compliance.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
• An eagerness to learn, ask questions, and grow within a high-performing technical environment.
• A passion for solving problems and supporting complex chemical manufacturing processes.
