Co-Op, Facilities, Plant & Project Engineering

This is a winter / spring co-op opportunity in Norwood, MA from January 18, 2027 – June 25, 2027. Start date will be January 18, 2027.
The Co-Op, Facilities, Plant & Project Engineering will support engineering, facilities, maintenance, or technical operations teams within Moderna's GMP manufacturing environment. This role provides hands-on experience through technical problem-solving, data analysis, documentation, digital tools, project execution, continuous improvement, and cross-functional collaboration.
Depending on team assignment, the co-op may support process equipment, plant and facilities systems, building management systems, controls and automation, engineering documentation, maintenance planning and scheduling, work and asset management, internal software/data applications, reliability, digital engineering and knowledge-management initiatives, or related technical functions. This position is site-based, requiring you to be at Moderna’s site full-time. Support scoped engineering, technical, or operational deliverables under the guidance of a manager or mentor.

Collect, organize, trend, and analyze technical or operational data to support troubleshooting, decision-making, equipment performance, maintenance and work-management activities, reliability, and continuous improvement.
Support structured problem-solving and troubleshooting activities by reviewing engineering documentation, system data, and other available information, identifying potential contributors, documenting observations, and helping evaluate practical improvements.
Draft and maintain GMP-compliant engineering documentation, including technical summaries, procedures, work instructions, drawings, standards, change controls, deviation/CAPA support documentation, project records, or turnover documentation, as applicable.
Assist with digital engineering, software/data, and knowledge-management initiatives that improve access to technical information, engineering and maintenance workflows, data quality, decision-making, and troubleshooting resources. This may include supporting internal applications, dashboards, automated workflows, and the testing and refinement of emerging AI-enabled tools where appropriate.
Support engineering projects and operational improvements across applicable lifecycle phases, which may include design, procurement, installation, start-up, equipment or drawing updates, system walkdowns, commissioning, qualification/validation support, project turnover, maintenance planning and scheduling, work and asset-management improvements, or other team-specific deliverables.
Collaborate cross-functionally with Engineering, Facilities, Maintenance, Manufacturing, Validation, Quality, Project Management, Digital/IT, vendors, and other stakeholders to support safe and effective execution.
Follow applicable GxP requirements, Good Documentation Practices, data-integrity expectations, company policies, SOPs, work instructions, and site safety procedures while performing assigned tasks.
Complete required training and actively seek learning opportunities to build technical, digital, problem-solving, and professional skills.
