At Mundipharma, we are committed to delivering high-quality pharmaceutical products that make a meaningful difference to patients' lives. During an exciting period of expansion within our Filling & Packaging operations, we are seeking dedicated operators to support the continued supply of commercial products while our permanent colleagues undertake training on new production assets.

This is a unique opportunity to join a collaborative manufacturing environment and play a vital role in maintaining safe, compliant, and efficient production operations that ensure uninterrupted product supply to our customers.

This is a fixed-term, project-linked position created specifically to support continuity of routine supply on Bard's existing Filling & Packaging (F&P) lines during the Expansion Training Workstream.

The successful candidate will support the safe, efficient, and compliant operation of legacy packaging lines, ensuring products are packaged in accordance with approved specifications, Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) requirements.

This role is restricted to legacy production assets only. The post-holder will not be trained, assessed, qualified, deployed, or scheduled to work on new expansion lines or equipment.

As a Filling & Packaging Line Operator, you will support the operation of designated legacy packaging lines with a focus on maintaining product supply, quality, and operational performance throughout the expansion transition period.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Assisting with the set-up, start-up, operation, and changeover of designated legacy Filling & Packaging lines in accordance with approved SOPs.
• Completing batch documentation accurately and in a timely manner to support production schedules and regulatory compliance.

• Packaging commercial pharmaceutical products in accordance with approved manufacturing instructions, product specifications, and GMP requirements.
• Conducting in-process quality checks and ensuring packaged products meet established quality standards.
• Maintaining excellent housekeeping standards through participation in 5S, GEMBA, and continuous improvement activities.
• Supporting effective communication during shift handovers and working collaboratively with Manufacturing, Engineering, Quality, and Supply Chain colleagues.
• Completing line cleaning, batch clearance, reconciliation, and associated activities to maintain compliance and operational readiness.
• Ensuring all assigned training within the legacy line scope remains current and compliant.
• Adhering at all times to company Health, Safety, Environmental, and Quality policies and procedures.

You will demonstrate a strong understanding of GMP principles and the importance of compliance within a regulated manufacturing environment. Accurate documentation, adherence to approved procedures, and a commitment to quality will be essential to success in this role.
