We’re seeking a meticulous and customer-focused QA Officer to support our QA Operations Manager with a range of QA tasks to ensure all Quality and Regulatory requirements are met and our products remain safe, compliant and of a high standard for release. Partnering with our Operations department, you’ll provide support across a range of tasks assigned by our quality management system (QMS) – from generating Product Quality Reviews and approving change controls, to reviewing batch records and approving technical and validation documents. In this varied role, you’ll spend time in our Production department providing real-time support to the team – this might include attending functional meetings, resolving any quality issues and assessing the compliance of our new and existing active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), raw materials and packaging components against their original specification for use. In addition, you’ll conduct and support our investigation and audit activities: assessing anomaly impacts on product quality, identifying root cause issues and establishing corrective and preventative actions (CAPAs) and contributing to customer complaint investigations or site visits. To support the smooth running of the department, you’ll proactively identify improvements to our Pharmaceutical Quality System, rollout relevant training across the business and have the opportunity to support cross-functional projects, as required.
