What You’ll Do

• Take responsibility for ensuring that equipment within Wash & Sterilisation operates as required and supports reliable production.
• Provide and coordinate daily technical support for skilled workers and production operators, working closely with them to resolve equipment and process issues.
• Troubleshoot equipment and process issues, including during shutdowns and breakdowns, and drive systematic problem-solving with relevant colleagues.
• Support capacity expansion and contribute to systematic technical problem-solving.
• Create and drive change requests and validation activities, and implement technical improvements from problem identification through to completion.
• Communicate daily with stakeholders across the organisation, coordinate technical activities and follow up on agreed actions while managing several tasks and priorities.

The team consists of 14 colleagues: 8 skilled workers responsible for equipment maintenance in Formulation and Wash & Sterilisation and 6 technical supporters providing daily support to skilled workers and production operators, as well as working with equipment and process validation.

You will work across disciplines with operators, skilled workers, technical supporters and colleagues in other departments. The environment is busy and collaborative, with an emphasis on trust, mutual respect and solving technical challenges together.
