Job description

We are seeking an exceptional Engineering Manager to lead the engineering, maintenance, and facilities operations within a state-of-the-art aseptic pharmaceutical manufacturing environment.

This is an exciting opportunity to oversee day-to-day engineering activities across advanced cleanroom facilities, VHP isolator technology, and highly specialised pharmaceutical systems.
