• Maintain process gas systems (nitrogen, CO2, and other production gases as applicable).
• Complete maintenance documentation in line with GMP practices (work orders, logbooks, CMMS records).
• Respond to utility system alarms and deviations during your shift and elevate per site protocol.
• Collaborate with Engineering, Validation, and Quality teams on utility system performance and compliance.

WHAT YOU'LL NEED

• 3+ years of hands‑on maintenance/troubleshooting experience on clean utilities systems (clean water, clean steam, process/compressed gases) in a GMP‑regulated facility.
• Working knowledge of GMP documentation practices and cGMP environment expectations.
• Mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation troubleshooting skills applicable to utility system components (pumps, valves, PLC‑monitored skids, generators).

NICE TO HAVE

• Experience in a sterile injectable, parenteral, or aseptic manufacturing environment.
