At AstraZeneca, we put patients first and strive to meet their unmet needs worldwide. Working here means being ambitious, thinking big and working together to make the impossible a reality. If you are swift to action, confident to lead, willing to collaborate, and curious about what science can do, then you’re our kind of person!

Macclesfield campus supplies products for most of the AstraZeneca therapy areas, to global markets and thus has great development opportunities.

Based across multiple manufacturing facilities, you will join our highly skilled and knowledgeable team to provide both reactive engineering support and continuous improvement activities.

Responsibilities:

• Provide swift breakdown support for various pharmaceutical assets and processes within the aseptic manufacture facilities.
• Investigate and identify root causes using structured problem-solving methodologies.
• Actively lead and deliver continuous improvement activities and projects using lean and manufacturing methodologies such as RCM, TPM and CBM.
• Work closely with production operators to provide equipment training and coaching.

We have multiple permanent and fixed term shift-based positions available (7-day pattern or permanent nights Mon-Thursday).

When we put unexpected teams in the same room, we unleash bold thinking with the power to inspire life-changing medicines. In-person working gives us the platform we need to connect, work at pace and challenge perceptions. That’s why we work five days per week from the office. But that doesn't mean we’re not flexible. We balance the expectation of being in the office while respecting individual flexibility. Join us in our unique and ambitious world.
