Position: Technician I - Sterile Fill

Overview

WHO WE ARE — AND WHAT THIS ROLE ACTUALLY IS

Diamond Animal Health manufactures biological medicines that end up in veterinary clinics, farms, and animal health programs across the United States, New Zealand, Mexico, and markets in between. The products we make here matter. The Sterile Fill department is where they actually come to life.

This is not a traditional line manufacturing job. If you are looking for the same task on repeat every day, this probably is not the right fit. But if you want to be hands-on with a wide variety of products, get in on new product introductions from the ground up, and build sterile fill skills that are genuinely hard to find in the industry...keep

reading.

At the end of a shift, you'll know exactly what you made. That is something you can be proud of.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Filling, Lyophilization & Capping — up to 50% of your time

You will work directly on the filling and freeze-drying of biological products across a diverse and growing product portfolio. Everything from established commercial programs to new product introductions. No two product campaigns are exactly alike, and you will be involved in learning the nuances of each. You will cap and label finished product, verify label accuracy, and keep pace with the production schedule alongside your team.

Component Preparation — approximately 25% of your time

Before product can be filled, everything that touches it must be prepared and sterilized. You will be responsible for glassware, plastic containers, stoppers, and associated equipment. The foundational work that makes sterile fill possible.

Cleaning, Sanitization & Sterilization — approximately 20% of your time

Maintaining a sterile environment is not a background task. It is core to what we do. You will own daily and weekly cleaning of fill suites, hallways, coolers, and freeze dryers, and you will help sanitize all equipment between campaigns. This is regulated, documented, and important work.

Other duties as assigned — up to 5% of your time

WHAT TO EXPECT DAY-TO-DAY

You will be on your feet and moving. This role is active by nature. You will be working across multiple areas of the department, transitioning between tasks, and adapting as the schedule and product needs evolve. One day you may be supporting a new product introduction; another you are running an established campaign that ships to New Zealand. Expect variety. Expect to be a meaningful part of something larger than any single shift.

WHAT

WE'RE LOOKING FOR

Education & Experience

  • High school diploma or GED required
  • Six months to one year of experience in a manufacturing environment preferred but a strong work ethic and attention to detail will get you far at Diamond Animal Health

Knowledge, Skills & Abilities

  • Ability to read, understand, and follow standard operating procedures (SOPs) in a regulated environment
  • Strong attention to detail (in a sterile fill environment, accuracy is non-negotiable)
  • Good problem-solving instincts and the ability to draw sound conclusions from what you observe
  • Comfortable working both independently and as part of a tight-knit team
  • Basic proficiency with Microsoft Office and email
  • Adaptability - things change, priorities shift, and the best technicians move with it

INTELLECTUAL DEMANDS

You will need to sustain focus during repetitive tasks, understand regulated documentation, communicate clearly with your teammates and supervisors, and appreciate that what you are producing is subject to government oversight. This is not assembly work. It is pharmaceutical-grade manufacturing that requires you to be mentally present.

PHYSICAL DEMANDS

  • Lift up to 50 lbs repeatedly; push/pull up to 100 lbs
  • Extended periods of standing, walking, stooping, kneeling, and crouching
  • Repetitive manual tasks requiring good hand-eye coordination and dexterity
  • Required PPE: hair, eye, and foot protection at minimum

WORK ENVIRONMENT

You will work in a controlled production environment, including cold rooms, sterile suites, and areas with moving equipment. Noise levels vary, and hearing protection is required in some areas. The role may involve wet conditions, temperature extremes, and exposure to biological materials.…
