Process Engineer

Process Engineering Opportunity - Floor Support (4×10 Schedule)

On‑Site / 4 Days / 10-Hour Shifts

Are you a hands-on Process Engineer who thrives on the manufacturing floor and wants a schedule that actually gives you work-life balance? This role offers a 4×10-hour shift schedule, real ownership of manufacturing support, and the opportunity to directly impact the production of life‑saving biologic therapies.

We are seeking an experienced Process Engineer II - Floor Support professional to serve as a critical technical bridge between Manufacturing Operations and MSAT in a GMP biologics drug substance facility. This is a floor-facing, non-supervisory role built for engineers who enjoy real-time problem-solving, rapid response, and continuous improvement in a highly regulated environment.

Why This Role Stands Out

• 4 days on / 3 days off every week (10-hour shifts)
• Deep involvement in live manufacturing operations
• High visibility and technical ownership on the production floor
• Meaningful work supporting therapies for chronic and life‑threatening diseases
• Contract-to-hire opportunity with long-term potential

What You'll Be Doing

• Provide real-time technical support to upstream and downstream biologics manufacturing
• Troubleshoot process and equipment issues during active manufacturing runs
• Perform routine GEMBA walks and observe critical process steps
• Ensure adherence to batch records, validated processes, and GMP requirements
• Proactively identify potential deviations and support investigations
• Author, review, and provide technical input for deviations, CAPAs, and investigations
• Partner cross-functionally to standardize unit operation methodologies
• Participate in daily tiered huddles to drive communication and continuous improvement
• Support implementation of corrective and preventive actions to improve process robustness

What We're Looking For

Required Experience

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Biotechnology, Biochemistry, or a related discipline
• Non‑science degrees considered with 8+ years of directly related biopharmaceutical manufacturing experience
• Minimum 4 years of experience in GMP-regulated biologics or pharmaceutical manufacturing (Engineering, Operations, or Quality)
• Hands-on experience with cell culture, protein purification, or large-scale biologics processing
• Experience supporting or participating in deviation and CAPA investigations
• Comfort working in cleanroom environments (ISO 5 / ISO 7) with full gowning

Core Technical Skills

• Process engineering within biologics manufacturing
• Chromatography experience
• Strong GMP knowledge and floor-based troubleshooting skills

Work Environment & Schedule

• On-site role in a GMP biologics manufacturing facility
• Gowning required (ISO spaces): removal of jewelry, cosmetics, hair products, etc.
• Internal-facing role (not client-facing)
• 4 days × 10-hour shifts, with weekend work and on-call rotation as required

This role is a great fit for a process engineer who enjoys working close to the process, making real-time decisions, and driving manufacturing excellence-while also enjoying a schedule with built-in flexibility.

Apply today to take the next step in your biologics manufacturing career.
