If so, you could be the new Supporter for Temperature Controlled Areas joining our Business Logistics & Purchasing team in Kalundborg.

Your new role

As a Supporter for Temperature Controlled Areas, you will play a key role in ensuring reliable operation, compliance, and continuous improvement of freezers, cold rooms, and other temperature-controlled storage areas across M1. You will become the subject matter expert for the area and work closely with operators, production teams, quality stakeholders, and other business functions to ensure robust processes and GMP compliance.

You will also contribute to ongoing optimisation initiatives and future upgrades of freezer and cold room facilities, helping improve storage solutions, validation strategies, and the overall handling of raw materials.

Your key responsibilities will include:

• Owning requirements, qualification, validation, and compliance activities for designated temperature-controlled areas.

This is an on-site role where visibility and collaboration with stakeholders across the factory are essential to success.

Your new department

You will join Business Logistics & Purchasing, a department supporting M1 production facilities where products for people living with chronic diseases are manufactured.

The role offers extensive cross-functional exposure and close collaboration with around 450 operators across the production organisation.

You will join a department experiencing significant development and optimisation efforts, including improvements to freezer room layouts, validation approaches, storage management processes, and operational efficiency.

Your skills and qualifications

We are open to candidates at different stages of their careers. Whether you bring several years of industry experience or are earlier in your professional journey, what matters most is your ability to learn, collaborate, and take ownership of a specialised support area.

• Communicate effectively in both Danish and English and enjoy interacting with stakeholders at all organisational levels
