Employment Type: Regular, Full-Time W2 Employee of Pioneer GMP Consulting

Pioneer GMP Consulting is seeking a Facilities Engineer to support calibration, maintenance, and facility operations for an established biotechnology manufacturing organization in the Cambridge/Boston area.

This is a highly hands-on field position. You will spend significant time in GMP manufacturing, mechanical, and utility areas performing or overseeing calibrations, preventive maintenance, corrective maintenance, equipment inspections, and vendor-executed work.

The position also requires strong GMP documentation and SAP Plant Maintenance experience. You will help ensure that work orders, calibration records, service reports, maintenance documentation, and equipment history are accurate, complete, traceable, and inspection-ready.

Commissioning is being managed by separate construction and engineering partners. You may coordinate with these teams when their activities affect facility turnover or ongoing operations, but this role is primarily focused on calibration, maintenance, equipment support, vendor supervision, and the associated GMP documentation.
