Job description

Drive Reliability, Compliance & Performance Across Critical Utility Systems

Are you an experienced Utility Engineer with strong hands-on expertise in RO, WFI, clean steam and critical GMP utilities ?

This is an exciting opportunity to take ownership of essential utility infrastructure within a highly regulated manufacturing environment. You will play a key role in ensuring critical utility systems remain reliable, compliant, well-controlled and capable of supporting operational requirements.

Working closely with Engineering, Operations and cross-functional stakeholders, you will lead technical investigations, manage engineering changes, support utility projects and identify opportunities to strengthen system reliability and performance.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Provide engineering oversight and technical support for critical utility systems, including Reverse Osmosis (RO), Water for Injection (WFI), clean steam and other clean utilities.


• Lead change control activities for the installation, modification, enhancement and upgrading of utility systems.


• Oversee the operation, maintenance, reliability and performance of critical utility equipment.


• Lead and support investigations into utility-related deviations and events using TrackWise, ensuring investigations are thoroughly documented and follow-up actions are completed.


• Conduct troubleshooting and root-cause analysis for equipment failures, system abnormalities and operational issues.


• Work closely with relevant stakeholders to develop and implement effective corrective and preventive actions.


• Support utility engineering projects from planning through implementation, ensuring technical requirements and applicable GMP standards are met.


• Identify and drive opportunities to improve utility reliability, operational efficiency, system performance and compliance.


• Ensure critical utility systems remain in a controlled state and aligned with engineering standards and regulatory expectations.

What We’re Looking For

• Degree in Engineering, Biomedical Engineering or a related discipline and above.


• 4-10 years of relevant engineering experience in utilities, facilities, manufacturing or a related environment.


• Hands-on experience with Reverse Osmosis (RO) systems is essential.


• Practical knowledge of WFI, clean steam and other critical or clean utility systems.


• Strong understanding of utility equipment operation, maintenance, reliability and troubleshooting.


• Experience working within a GMP-regulated environment is essential; pharmaceutical industry experience is not mandatory.


• Strong analytical, troubleshooting, investigation and root-cause analysis skills.


• Demonstrated experience managing technical investigations, change controls and engineering projects independently.


• Strong organisational and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to manage multiple technical priorities effectively.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

Take on a role where your engineering expertise can make a direct impact on the reliability, compliance and performance of critical manufacturing utilities. You will gain broad exposure across utility engineering, GMP compliance, technical investigations, change management and improvement projects while working alongside cross-functional teams in a structured manufacturing environment. If you are ready to take greater ownership of critical utility systems and contribute to continuous improvement, we would like to hear from you.
