About Sina Medical Glass
Sina Medical Glass, Ltd. is a UK-based start-up with an international team and a compelling mission: to ensure the production and ready supply of top-quality primary packaging (glass vials and cartridges), both within the UK and internationally. We are building our quality management infrastructure from the ground up and are looking for driven individuals who want to grow with us and make a real impact in the pharmaceutical supply chain.
Role Overview
This is primarily a documentation and QMS role, with QC laboratory testing and validation support being equally important responsibilities. Your day-to-day focus will be writing and managing controlled documents such as SOPs, Work Instructions, forms, and quality records and supporting the build-out of our electronic QMS (eQMS) and performing hands-on physical and dimensional testing in the laboratory. When needed, you will also support equipment qualification and validation activities alongside the Deputy Quality Manager, helping to prepare and maintain validation protocols and reports. This role suits someone from a GMP-regulated background ideally within medical glass, pharmaceutical, or medical device industries who writes clearly, works methodically, and is ready to get stuck in at a start-up where the systems are still being built.
Key Responsibilities
Technical Writing & Document Control - Primary Focus
- Author, review, and maintain controlled documents including SOPs, Work Instructions (WIs), forms, templates, and quality records.
- Support the build-out and day-to-day management of our eQMS, ensuring documents are structured, version-controlled, and audit-ready.
- Ensure all documentation aligns with ISO 9001, ISO 15378, and GMP requirements.
- Manage document lifecycle drafting, review cycles, approval, issuance, and archiving in line with document control procedures.
- Support the development and rollout of training materials linked to new or revised documents.
