Indianapolis, IN

Work at the center of instrumentation execution for critical pharmaceutical projects

PACIV (Process Automation, Controls, Instrumentation, and Validation)

We support large-scale capital projects across the pharmaceutical and life sciences industries. We work in highly regulated manufacturing environments where precision, documentation, and execution are critical.

We are looking for an Instrumentation Technical Specialist for our Indianapolis, IN office to support instrumentation activities across active capital projects in Indianapolis.

Important
:
In this position, “instrumentation” refers to process instrumentation used in manufacturing systems
; including devices such as flow meters, pressure transmitters, temperature sensors, level instruments, and valves. This does not include laboratory or analytical equipment.

This position focuses on execution, coordination, and material readiness, ensuring instrumentation is properly tracked, received, documented, and available to support commissioning and project timelines.

This is a hands‑on position working with manufacturing instrumentation in a regulated environment. It is not a design engineering position.

You will play a key role in the coordination and management of process instrumentation throughout the project lifecycle, from planning through turnover.

• Coordinate with Project Management and Procurement to plan, schedule, and forecast instrumentation activities
• Align material readiness with project schedules and commissioning requirements
• Support planning specifically for process instrumentation used in manufacturing systems

• Track the status of instrumentation (e.g., transmitters, gauges, valves) from order through delivery
• Maintain accurate records within project tracking systems and databases
• Interface with warehouse teams to support receiving, storage, inventory control, and distribution

• Execute receipt verification in accordance with commissioning requirements
• Inspect instrumentation and confirm documentation completeness (calibration, compliance, etc.)
• Identify and resolve discrepancies such as damaged or missing materials

• Coordinate routine and expedited shipments of instrumentation
• Ensure proper packaging, documentation, and chain‑of‑custody for regulated environments

• Prepare and compile turnover packages, including:
  • Datasheets
  • Certificates of compliance
  • Calibration records
  • Warranties
• Ensure all documentation meets GDP and cGMP standards

• Support resolution of non‑conforming instrumentation with internal teams
• Provide updates on instrumentation readiness, material status, and risks
• Support multiple concurrent capital projects in a structured, deadline‑driven environment

You will work directly with process instrumentation used in manufacturing systems, verifying received equipment, organizing documentation, updating tracking systems, and ensuring materials are ready for installation and commissioning. You will also work closely with project teams to keep instrumentation aligned with schedule and compliance requirements.

• Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree in a technical field (or equivalent experience)
• Minimum 2 years of experience in a manufacturing, process, or regulated environment
• Experience supporting equipment, instrumentation, or material management in project settings
• Strong attention to detail and documentation accuracy
• Ability to manage multiple priorities across concurrent projects
• Organized and structured approach to tracking and recordkeeping

• Pharmaceutical, biotech, or medical device industry experience
• Hands‑on exposure to process instrumentation; flow, pressure, temperature, or level devices
• Experience supporting commissioning, validation, or turnover documentation
• Ability to work effectively within GDP/cGMP environments

• Salary Range: $65,000 – $88,000 (based on experience)
• Generous paid time off, vacation, sick leave, and company holidays
