The Job in a Nutshell
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY:
This position will train on 1st shift Monday-Friday (6:00am-2:30pm) for possibly 1 year and then will permanently be stationed on 2nd shift (Sunday-Thursday (2:00pm-10:30pm). 2nd shift carries a shift differential.
(A rotating OT schedule could be enacted when circumstances warrant, but it's rare.)
You'll be part of our aseptic manufacturing crew, running equipment like autoclaves, scales, peristaltic pumps, and automated filling lines through Thaw, Blend, Fill, Stage, and Prep. You'll also get equipment ready (set up/breakdown), handle materials, do environmental monitoring and utility sampling, keep our cleanrooms spotless, and keep solid cGMP records (and help update SOPs and batch records along the way). You'll work closely with Quality, Maintenance, and Materials Management—it's a real team effort.
