Our teams manage the full manufacturing lifecycle — from raw material handling, batch production and filling to packing, labelling and dispatch — with safety, quality and efficiency at the core.

• Opportunities to network and enhance visibility with senior leaders who will mentor, coach and support you with career planning
• Development of technical skills through valuable on‑the‑job experience in manufacturing and packaging operations
• Work in roles individually tailored according to your discipline, strengths and aspirations (and the needs of the business)
• Access to a generous personal development budget to accelerate learning and professional growth
• Kaizens – short‑term breadth projects that offer potential international exposure
   

What will you do?

• Learn and operate manufacturing and packing lines, including batch execution, changeovers and line optimisations
• Support aseptic/sterile and non‑sterile production activities as applicable to the site, adhering to GMP and safety procedures
• Perform in‑process checks, support machine set‑up, and carry out basic troubleshooting to maintain production flow
• Assist with packing operations: labelling, secondary packaging, serialization, and final inspection controls
• Maintain accurate production documentation and batch records in line with regulatory requirements
• Support handovers, shift operations and coordination with Quality, Technical Services, Engineering and Supply Chain teams
• Participate in root‑cause investigations, CAPA activities and deviation management when required
• Contribute to continuous improvement, efficiency initiatives and equipment reliability projects (lean, Six Sigma, TPM)
• Learn about equipment cleaning (CIP/SIP), preventative maintenance routines and calibration activities
   

What are we looking for?

• Technical aptitude, a passion for operational excellence and a keen interest in pharmaceutical manufacturing and packing
• A mindset focused on continuous improvement, safety and quality, with strong attention to detail
• Excellent communication, teamwork and interpersonal skills; comfortable working in multi‑disciplinary shifts and cross‑functional teams
• Strong problem‑solving skills and the ability to follow structured processes in a regulated environment
• Self‑motivation, proactiveness and eagerness for hands‑on development and learning on the shop‑floor
• Adaptability and resilience — able to perform effectively under pressure and embrace change in a fast‑moving manufacturing setting
