Manufacturing Technician II; 3rd Shift

Business Introduction

We manufacture and supply reliable, high‑quality medicines and vaccines to meet patients’ needs and drive our performance. Our network of 37 medicines and vaccines manufacturing sites delivered 1.7 billion packs of medicines and 409 million vaccine doses in 2024 to help make a positive impact on the health of millions of people. Our supply chain is not just core to our operations; it’s vital to bringing our innovations to patients as quickly, efficiently and effectively as possible.

Technology is transforming how we manufacture medicines and vaccines, enabling us to increase the speed, quality and scale of product supply. We need the very best minds and capability to help us on our journey to make more complex products, harnessing the power of smart manufacturing technologies including robotics, digital solutions and artificial intelligence to deliver for patients.

You will be responsible for leading and executing complex vaccine drug substance manufacturing operations while ensuring compliant, safe, and efficient production. As a technical expert in assigned processes, you will provide on‑floor leadership, training, problem‑solving support, and continuous improvement. You will partner with supervision and cross‑functional teams to ensure consistent execution of manufacturing activities.

Manufacturing Process Execution: Execute complex drug substance manufacturing operations, including reagent and buffer preparation (weighing, formulation, pH adjustment/titration, filtration, aliquoting) in accordance with approved batch records and SOPs. Operate and monitor automated process equipment (e.g., chromatography, filtration systems, mixers, pumps, meters, scales), ensuring safe, efficient, and compliant execution of manufacturing activities.

Proficiency in Digital Tools: Utilize advanced digital systems (e.g., electronic batch records, SCADA) to ensure data integrity, monitor process trends, identify deviations, support review by exception manufacturing, and improve overall process outcomes.

Bioburden Control: Adhere to GMP cleanroom requirements (Grade C/D/CNC gowning and flows) and perform or coordinate environmental monitoring, cleaning, and sanitization activities per approved procedures.

Asset Care & Maintenance: Troubleshoot equipment issues, respond to alarms, recognize early signs of equipment deterioration, and respond in a timely manner. Document equipment status, abnormalities, and actions taken, and contribute to initiatives that improve equipment reliability and extend asset life cycle.

Documentation & Compliance: Ensure accurate, contemporaneous GMP documentation; participate in authoring and revising manufacturing and support SOPs; recognize and report deviations and support investigations, RCA, and CAPA development.

Training & Team Leadership: Develop and deliver training materials, act as a qualified trainer, support onboarding and qualification of new team members, and provide on‑floor process leadership. Assist supervisors with daily operations and lead manufacturing activities in the supervisor’s absence as required.

Continuous Improvement: Participate in troubleshooting and continuous improvement initiatives, applying GPS standards (e.g., 5S, problem solving) to improve safety, quality, delivery, and efficiency.

• Bachelor’s degree in biological sciences, chemistry, engineering, or a related technical field. Equivalent combinations of education and experience accepted; candidates without a degree may qualify if they can have relevant GMP manufacturing experience (e.g., 3+ years in process operations, QC, or equipment maintenance) or professional certifications that show comparable technical depth.
• 1+ year of manufacturing or production experience.
• Experience in leadership in a GMP manufacturing environment.
• Experience in technical writing for GMP documentation (e.g., SOPs, MBRs, training materials), with working knowledge of GMP requirements.

• BS or BA in a biological or chemical science degree.
• Demonstrated experience authoring and maintaining technical documentation, including SOPs, work…
