Manufacturing Technician – 12 Month Fixed-Term Contract - Shift Work
An exciting opportunity has arisen for Manufacturing Technicians to join a specialist pharmaceutical manufacturing environment on a 12 month fixed-term contract, with a strong possibility of becoming permanent. This is a fantastic role for someone who enjoys hands-on production work, thrives in a highly regulated setting, and wants to play a key part in supporting both commercial supply and clinical manufacturing activities.
This role involves a 24/7 shift pattern and so you ideally would have access to your own vehicle or live locally. There is an excellent shift allowance and benefits available.
The Role
Working as part of a production team, you will support the manufacture of high-potency pharmaceutical materials in line with cGMP requirements. The role will involve preparing manufacturing areas, operating and monitoring equipment, maintaining accurate documentation, and helping to ensure production suites remain inspection ready at all times. You will also contribute to safe working practices, stock control, sample handling, and efficient day-to-day operations across the manufacturing process.
