Technical Associate CRD Manufacturing

Use Your Power for Purpose Our breakthroughs would not reach the hands of patients without our dedicated pharmaceutical manufacturing team. We rely on agile members who understand the critical impact of their role in Pfizer’s mission. Patients need colleagues like you who take pride in their work and continuously strive to improve outcomes. Your efforts ensure that patients and physicians have timely access to the medicines they need.

What You Will Achieve You will be part of a multi-disciplinary team responsible for the Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) production of non-commercial size clinical batches supporting the Pfizer Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) small molecule portfolio development. This includes, but is not limited to: supporting the manufacturing operations team, following Standard Operating Procedures, executing batch records, and supporting colleagues on performing any activities involving process equipment or operational needs.

Standard work will involve chemical synthesis of API, which includes these operational tasks: solid / liquid charges to vessels, atmospheric / vacuum distillations, liquid-liquid extractions, phase split, crystallization, filtrations and drying, and milling.

As part of technical operations, you will be a team member who develops a good understanding of procedures, techniques, tools, materials and equipment. Experienced colleagues will help you prioritize workflows based on the available resources. You will follow standard operating procedures to complete tasks, some of which may vary in scope, sequence, complexity and timing. You will contribute to the team’s success by working with experienced team members to support API manufacturing operations.

It is your hard work and focus that will help make Pfizer ready to achieve new milestones and help patients across the globe.
