Hours: 6:00pm – 6:00am, 2-2-3 rotating schedule with 15% shift differential

As part of the Drug Product Division (DPD), our Greenville, North Carolina site is a multi-purpose pharmaceutical development, manufacturing, and packaging campus. The operation specializes in taking both sterile injectable and oral solid dose drug products from development through commercialization.

This position supports our sterile manufacturing operations through Environmental Monitoring activities performed within classified and aseptic processing areas. The Environmental Monitoring team works alongside manufacturing throughout the filling process to help ensure controlled environments are maintained in accordance with established procedures and regulatory requirements.

How will you make an impact?

As a QC Scientist I – Environmental Monitoring, you will perform Environmental Monitoring activities in support of sterile pharmaceutical filling operations. This is a hands-on role that works directly within classified manufacturing environments and is not a traditional bench laboratory position.

You will collect environmental samples within filling suites, monitor controlled environments, follow aseptic practices and good documentation requirements, and accurately record and communicate results. You will work closely with Operations, Quality, and other team members to help maintain the environmental controls necessary to manufacture sterile pharmaceutical products safely and compliantly.

This is an excellent opportunity to begin or grow a career within the pharmaceutical industry while gaining experience in aseptic processing, Environmental Monitoring, Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), and sterile manufacturing operations. The hiring manager described the position as an entry point into pharmaceutical operations that can provide exposure to future opportunities across Quality, Manufacturing, data auditing, and the Environmental Monitoring organization.

What will you do?

• Perform routine Environmental Monitoring activities within classified cleanrooms and aseptic processing areas in support of sterile filling operations.
• Collect environmental samples within manufacturing and filling suites in accordance with approved procedures.
• Perform monitoring activities associated with aseptic core areas, isolator lines, and other controlled manufacturing environments.
• Follow established procedures for environmental and personnel monitoring while maintaining appropriate aseptic technique.
• Accurately document activities and results in accordance with Good Documentation Practices, ALCOA principles, GMP requirements, and site procedures.
• Generate and record accurate, complete, legible, and contemporaneous documentation.
• Review Environmental Monitoring information and communicate observations, issues, or unexpected results to the appropriate team members.
• Communicate effectively with assigned manufacturing lines, supervisors, and incoming shifts to ensure appropriate handoffs and continuity of work.
• Complete routine Environmental Monitoring activities performed on weekly, biweekly, monthly, and production-driven schedules.
• Maintain assigned equipment and verify equipment is ready and appropriate for use.
• Follow Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), safety requirements, and established Quality procedures.
• Maintain required training and qualification status for work within classified and aseptic areas.
• Work both independently and collaboratively after completing the appropriate training and qualification process.
