Position Overview

We are looking for a proactive and hands-on Biotechnologist to support brownfield facility expansion activities in a regulated biopharmaceutical environment. This role focuses on preparing manufacturing operations for startup, including equipment readiness, documentation review, mock runs, and supporting process validation and GMP transition.

You will work closely with Manufacturing, Process Engineering, CQV, and Quality teams to ensure a smooth handover from project to operations for areas such as upstream, downstream, media/buffer preparation, or formulation/fill depending on project scope.

Key Responsibilities

• Contribute to the development and review of batch records, standard operating procedures (SOPs), work instructions, and material/equipment lists.
• Assist in planning and executing mock runs, operator training sessions, and GMP simulations.
• Work closely with cross-functional teams to ensure processes, workflows, and documentation align with GMP and operational requirements.
• Support process verifications, sampling plans, and data collection activities during startup runs.
• Provide on-the-floor support during commissioning, qualification, and process validation phases.
• Perform basic troubleshooting and escalate technical issues to the appropriate teams when necessary.
• Ensure adherence to safety, environmental, and GMP regulations throughout all activities.
• Leverage experience in upstream operations such as cell culture, fermentation, and centrifugation, and apply knowledge of DeltaV and MES systems to support manufacturing processes.

Required Qualifications

• Diploma or degree in Biotechnology, Life Sciences, Biochemical Engineering, or a related field.
• 3-8 years of relevant experience in a biotech or biopharmaceutical GMP environment.
• Exposure to facility startup, tech transfer, or brownfield/greenfield projects is an advantage.
• Basic understanding of bioprocess operations (upstream, downstream, or support functions).
• Familiarity with cleanroom protocols, buffer/media prep, and GMP documentation.
• Strong interpersonal, communication, and problem-solving skills.
• Able to work independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced project environment.
