•  Physicality: You can lift and carry up to 40 lbs. on your own now and then, and you're comfortable working in different environments—including ultra-low temperature spaces (don't worry, we provide the protective gear!)
•  Safety first: You follow workplace safety practices, every time
•  Detail-oriented: You can complete documentation accurately to cGXP standards
•  Team player: You communicate well, both verbally and in writing, and you thrive in a fast-moving team environment
•  Tech-comfortable: You know your way around Microsoft Teams, Excel, Word, and PowerPoint, and you're open to using digital tools and learning new AI tools that support our lean/digital journey.


Nice-to-Haves (Bonus Points!)

•  A bachelor's degree
•  Aseptic processing experience in the bio/pharmaceutical industry
•  Cleanroom experience in food, medical device, or pharmaceutical manufacturing, or aseptic processing/assembly work. Background in environmental monitoring, pharmaceutical warehousing, or pharmaceutical packaging counts too!
