  • Participate in client meetings, technical workshops, and planning sessions related to process definition, capacity planning, and operational strategy.
  • Support compliance with applicable regulatory requirements, including GMP / GxP expectations and relevant industry guidelines.
  • Review process-related design deliverables to ensure alignment with defined process requirements and overall project objectives.
  • Participate in multidisciplinary coordination reviews to resolve process-related design challenges.
  • Stay current with emerging technologies, manufacturing platforms, and best practices across life sciences modalities.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering, Biochemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical field.

  • Exposure to additional modalities, platforms, or production technologies is preferred but not required.
  • Strong understanding of regulated manufacturing processes, unit operations, and equipment typical of life sciences facilities.

  • Familiarity with GMP / GxP environments and regulatory expectations.
  • Experience working in a design-build or fast-track project delivery environment preferred.
  • Strong communication skills, with the ability to engage in client-facing technical discussions and multidisciplinary coordination.
