Job description

Join Abbott as a Quality Engineer in Witney!

Are you passionate about quality assurance and looking to make a significant impact? Abbott, a global healthcare leader, is seeking a Quality Engineer to join our team in the United Kingdom.

Bring your passion, ideas, and purpose to life in a company that can truly help you achieve your full potential.

Known globally for the development of revolutionary technologies, Abbott Diabetes Care designs, develops, and manufactures glucose monitoring systems for use in both home and hospital settings. Abbott has been around for 135+ years, developing solutions for the world's health issues and creating a workplace that enables employees to live full lives.

We have a Centre of Excellence in Witney for the development and manufacture of electrodes and biosensors used by patients and healthcare professionals for the day-to-day management of diabetes.

The site has been instrumental in the research, development, and manufacture of the FreeStyle Libre Glucose Monitoring System as well as exciting future developments in the Libre family including FreeStyle Libre 2, FreeStyle Libre 3, and the Libre Sense system.

We are passionate about doing work that improves the quality of people’s lives. As a result of strong business growth and industry-leading product development in the biosensor business, we have an opportunity for a Quality Assurance Engineer to join our Validation Quality Assurance team.

The Role:

With a background in validation, you will serve in a supporting role for the Quality Assurance function on cross-functional project teams.

You will offer Quality Assurance expertise and guidance to the New Product Introduction (NPI) and site expansion projects, primarily around qualification of new manufacturing equipment and facilities (clean rooms), as well as process validations. Review and approval of validation and change control documentation is a core element of this role.

Day to day, this varied role will see you working in collaboration with the Technical Services, Operations, Engineering, and Regulatory teams across the site.

Requirements:

To be successful, you will ideally be degree qualified in a related discipline and bring experience of working in a medical device or pharmaceutical environment. A sound working knowledge of the validation lifecycle is essential.

The ideal candidate will be a proactive individual who takes initiative and is able to work within a team. You will need to have good communication, analytical, and time management skills, and be comfortable working in a fast-paced, changing environment.

This is an exceptional opportunity to join a high-achieving team that provides structured career development within a state-of-the-art manufacturing and development facility, working on a range of innovative and complex new products.

Abbott offers a benefits platform that provides security to you and your family. As you’d expect from an innovative global healthcare company, we offer an excellent range of benefits including competitive salaries, a defined contribution pension scheme, share ownership scheme, private healthcare, life assurance, and a flexible benefits scheme which you can tailor to your own requirements.

Here at Witney, we also like to help our employees live life to the fullest, and therefore we offer a range of optional initiatives for you to get involved in, including onsite allotments, couch to 5k campaigns, beekeeping, yoga, and more!
