    • Identifying and implementing improvements in the Quality Systems to boost compliance and efficiency.

    • Maintaining quality systems and cGMP compliance by ensuring team adherence to processes, procedures, and instructions.

    • Promoting and ensuring job safety, attending required health and safety training, and reporting any actual or potential accidents and injuries promptly.

    Key requirements:

    • Bachelor's degree in life sciences (biotechnology, biochemistry, biology, chemistry, engineering) or related field.

    • Proven track record (7-10 years) in batch disposition activities within a cGMP environment.

    Every day, Lonza's products and services have a positive impact on millions of people. For us, this is not only a great privilege, but also a great responsibility. How we achieve our business results is just as important as the achievements themselves. At Lonza, we respect and protect our people and our environment.
