• Monitor and record environmental operating conditions during production.
• Review batch documentation, temperature logs, humidity data, calibration and pest control records.
• Verify equipment readiness and proper function throughout the production cycle.
• Support investigations into customer complaints through applicable quality testing and reporting.
• Identify and escalate non-conformances, deviations, or documentation errors as appropriate.
• Contribute to process improvement initiatives and assist with quality-related projects.

• Vocational training or a degree in pharmaceutical manufacturing, industrial management, or a related field preferred.

Required Skills:

• Working knowledge of Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) – the industry standard for ensuring product quality and regulatory compliance.
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to documentation accuracy.
• Proficient in Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, Outlook); SAP or similar systems a plus.
