Our mission is to work side by side with our customers in order to improve patients’ lives by bringing new biopharmaceuticals to market — and we’re looking for a curious, reliable student to join our Manufacturing Product Support team at our multiproduct facility in Søborg.

Why this role is great for you

This is a hands-on opportunity to accelerate your transition from studies into industry. You’ll work alongside process scientists and experienced colleagues, contribute to real production workstreams, and gain practical skills in documentation, data handling, and quality processes that employers value. At the same time, you’ll gain mentoring and feedback that help you grow professionally now, not just later.

What You’ll Do

We are offering a Student Assistant position within our Manufacturing Product Support department at our manufacturing site in Søborg. As a Student Assistant, your responsibilities will vary, but you can expect to become a valued member of the student assistant team, consisting of six other students. Your colleagues will be eager to learn from your perspective and share valuable insights in return. You’ll collaborate with team members, department colleagues, and stakeholders across the organization.

As a Student Assistant in Manufacturing Product Support, you will:

• Handle and validate data used to inform customer project outcomes and batch reviews.
• Support the review team by collecting and digitizing information from paper-based documentation — a critical step in the batch release process.
• Draft basic step MPRs, for example for buffer and media preparation, for review by process scientists.
• Assist with parts of the deviation handling workflow and other quality-related tasks.
• Support daily operations and project work.
• Perform ad hoc tasks, such as scanning handwritten documentation and organizing scanned documents.
• Bring a flexible, proactive, can-do attitude and a willingness to learn.

What We’re Looking For

You’re a dependable and organized student with at least 12 months of study remaining and a strong interest in biomanufacturing and quality systems.

To succeed in this role, you should:

• Be enrolled in a science-related BSc or MSc programme.
• Have excellent time management skills and the ability to work independently as well as in small teams.
• Show initiative, a positive and solution-oriented mindset, and reliability.
• Be comfortable working in a fast-paced environment and supporting colleagues across teams.
• Communicate clearly in English, both verbally and in writing.
• Be proficient in Microsoft Office, particularly Word, PowerPoint, and Excel.
• Be available for approximately 15 hours per week on-site at our Copenhagen facility, typically across two workdays.
• Be interested in learning about biomanufacturing, GMP, and working in a regulated production environment.

What We Offer

At AGC Biologics, you will have the opportunity to gain hands‑on experience in a biopharmaceutical manufacturing environment and see how different functions work together to support the production of life-changing therapies. You will work alongside experienced colleagues who will support your development and give you the opportunity to take responsibility for meaningful tasks. You will also become part of a larger student assistant community, giving you the chance to build both professional experience and a network within AGC Biologics.

The role is based on-site in Søborg and offers approximately 15 hours of work per week alongside your studies.
