Description
Our client is expanding new Drug Product facility in East Greenbush, NY and require two experienced Validation/Environmental Monitoring (EMPQ) Performance Qualification specialists to design, execute, and document PQ activities. These roles will generate protocols, collect data, and record results with a focus on both dynamic and static environmental conditions. The incumbents will be responsible for air testing (viable and non-viable), surface testing, personnel monitoring, and comprehensive environmental and utility testing (temperature, relative humidity, differential pressure, air quality). The goal is to ensure facility readiness, compliance with GMP, and readiness for regulatory review.
This is a one + year assignment at an hourly rate of $50.00
