  • Collaborating with various departments including MS&T, QC Support, Regulatory, and QA.
  • Serving as a subject matter expert in Quality Control for Method Development across various analytical techniques.
  • Performing laboratory investigations and addressing protocol deviations while providing technical support for complex methodologies.
  • Drafting Risk Assessments for processes and systems to ensure risks are identified and managed effectively, including implementing corrective and preventive actions when necessary.
  • Upholding and promoting the company's core values in all interactions.
  • Enhancing practices and fostering a culture aligned with cGMP, cGLP, and Health & Safety standards within a pharmaceutical laboratory setting.
  • Additionally, you may be required to undertake other tasks as needed.

  • Familiarity with GMP regulations applicable to products produced, tested, and marketed in the UK, EU, and US.
  • Understanding of specification development.
  • Proficiency in computer usage, with a keen eye for detail.
  • Strong communication skills tailored to diverse audiences.
  • Ability to influence and problem-solve effectively.
  • Pragmatic approach with meticulous attention to detail.

Due to the nature of our operations, successful candidates will be required to undergo a basic DBS check prior to employment and periodically thereafter, with costs covered by Dechra.
