A new position has arisen in our growing Commercialisation, Development and Supply (CDS) team for a Senior Process Engineer, in new small molecule API Products. This role provides exciting and interesting opportunities to work on multiple API projects, ranging from manufacturing support activities to late-stage clinical product development and scale-up, new product introductions and technology transfers across our existing and new facilities of the future.

Why you should apply!

Small Molecule (SM) Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) manufacturing is changing with the pipeline of the future including molecules of increasing complexity (such as ADC’s and macrocyclic peptides), lower volume and higher potency products and increasing utilisation of new and sustainable technologies such as flow chemistry, continuous manufacturing, photo and biocatalyst driven chemical synthesis.

To enable this change, we are investing in flexible facilities and infrastructure with small-scale trains for multiproduct commercialisation for low volume and high potent API. As well as future specialised skills for new technologies. The facilities will manufacture APIs for late phase clinical, launch and early commercial supply using both batch and continuous manufacturing technology.

What you will do:

Work as part of a multi-functional, diverse team to deliver results within schedule and product launch milestones. Bring energy, knowledge and passion about science and technology to carry out the following:

  • Direct and manage engineers on new product introductions and/or technical transfers to and from the site, including new technologies.
  • Co-develop new SM API products with Research and Development partners globally.
  • Direct day-to-day project development plans.
  • Provide knowledge and subject matter expertise on API processing unit operations and scale up to colleagues in Quality, Supply Chain and Manufacturing Operations.
  • Evaluation of raw materials, development of process fits, safety and environmental reviews, batch sheet reviews, regulatory and validation compliance, process monitoring and cycle-time studies, deviation investigations and resolution, and development of filing strategies.

What skills you will need:

In order to excel in this role, you will more than likely have:

  • A qualification in Chemical Engineering or related discipline.
  • Experienced professional who has worked in a pharmaceutical manufacturing organisation within process development in new product introduction, technology transfer and process fit.
