Lab Technician I / Scientist I – Quality Control Microbiology

Are you passionate about microbiology, environmental monitoring, and ensuring the safety of life‑saving pharmaceutical products? This is an exciting opportunity to join a collaborative Quality Control Microbiology team where you'll gain hands‑on experience with advanced laboratory technologies, aseptic manufacturing environments, and industry‑leading quality systems.

Whether you're an early‑career microbiologist or a laboratory professional looking to expand your expertise, this role offers substantial growth potential within a large, established pharmaceutical organization.

Build specialized microbiology expertise

• Gain experience in Environmental Monitoring, Microbial Identification, Finished Product Testing, Bacterial Filter Retention (BFR), and Method Validations.
• Work with cutting‑edge technologies, including MALDI microbial identification systems, Accugenix, LIMS, and SKAN isolators.

Make a direct impact on product quality and patient safety

• Play a critical role in ensuring sterile manufacturing environments and supporting the release of pharmaceutical products that improve lives.
• Investigate environmental trends, identify potential risks, and contribute to quality and compliance initiatives.

Develop your career in a highly regulated industry

• Expand your knowledge of GMPs, aseptic processing, environmental monitoring, sterility assurance, and microbiological method validation.
• Receive opportunities to train others, participate in investigations, and support cross‑functional projects.

Work alongside industry experts

• Collaborate with Quality Assurance, Manufacturing, Validation, and Quality Control teams.
• Learn from experienced microbiologists, scientists, and pharmaceutical professionals.

• Perform environmental monitoring of clean rooms, personnel, water systems, compressed gases, and manufacturing areas in accordance with established procedures.
• Conduct microbiological testing of raw materials, in‑process materials, and finished products while ensuring compliance with quality and regulatory standards.
• Execute microbial identification activities, including sub‑culturing, Gram staining, culture maintenance, and operation of MALDI‑.
• Support sterility assurance activities through bioburden, environmental monitoring, and bacterial filter retention (BFR) studies.
• Investigate environmental excursions, out‑of‑limit results, and quality events while partnering with QA and manufacturing teams.
• Perform microbiological method validations and support process validations, technology transfers, and equipment qualification activities.
• Maintain laboratory documentation, data integrity, and compliance through LIMS and quality management systems.
• Assist in training personnel on aseptic practices, gowning requirements, and microbiological procedures.

• Bachelor's degree in Biology, Microbiology, Biochemistry, or a related life science field.
• 1–3 years of laboratory experience, preferably in microbiology, pharmaceutical quality control, biotechnology, food safety, or a regulated environment.
• Strong understanding of microbiological techniques and laboratory practices.
• Excellent organizational, documentation, and problem‑solving skills.

• Environmental Monitoring experience.
• Pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device, or GMP laboratory experience.
• Experience with MALDI, Accugenix, LIMS, sterility testing, or bioburden testing.
• Exposure to method validation, process validation, or aseptic manufacturing environments.

This position is ideal for professionals seeking a long‑term career path in:

• Microbiology
• Environmental Monitoring
• Quality Control
• Quality Assurance
• Sterility Assurance
• Validation
• Pharmaceutical Manufacturing

Successful candidates will gain exposure to advanced microbiological testing programs, regulatory compliance requirements, and highly specialized laboratory operations that can serve as a foundation for future Scientist, Senior Microbiologist, QA, Validation, or Laboratory Leadership roles.
