Position Overview:


In this project, the consultant will contribute to a reliable and high-quality supply of medicines to patients by supporting engineering projects on pharmaceutical preparation equipment. As part of the preparation engineering team, the consultant will be assigned to one or more projects within the Engineering matrix organization. This means the consultant will be part of a multidisciplinary project team led by a project lead. These projects may involve upgrades or new installations and relate to the equipment used in the preparation step of the aseptic production process. The focus lies on safety, compliance, innovation, and (cost) efficiency.


As a Project Engineer Preparation, the consultant will be responsible for the planning, coordination, specification, validation, start-up, and supplier communication for their part of the project. The end goal is to deliver the installation on time, within budget, and within scope. The objective is to increase production capacity by installing and commissioning new preparation equipment in a Grade C environment.


Activities will cover the entire project lifecycle for new equipment: specification, procurement, design, installation, commissioning, and validation of preparation equipment such as autoclaves, washers, stopper processors, decontamination units, and filter testers. The consultant will take ownership of the project activities related to their assigned equipment, which may include parts washers, autoclaves, stopper processors, CIP/SIP combinations, filter testers, and small equipment used in various on-site preparation centers.
