You will work alongside our CQV Lead on facility, utility and equipment qualification programs for pharmaceutical and biotechnology clients - writing and executing protocols, working in the field, and building toward owning systems independently.

- Author and execute commissioning and qualification protocols - IQ, OQ and PQ - for utilities, equipment and facilities.
- Perform field verification and walkdowns against P&IDs, and log discrepancies for resolution.
- Execute qualification sampling programs and maintain complete, accurate records - sample logs, chain of custody and executed protocols.
- Write deviation reports and summary reports, and support investigations.
- Support risk assessments and FMEAs, and the sampling plans that follow from them.
- Support change control, and help close out qualification packages.
- Work with client engineering and quality teams on site, representing Eurofins professionally.
- As you grow: take ownership of systems end to end, mentor newer engineers, and lead your own qualification workstreams.

- A working understanding of IQ, OQ and PQ, and of why qualification documentation matters.
- Ability to read and work from technical drawings, particularly P&IDs.
