You will

• Establish user requirements and facility design standards for cell therapy manufacturing; develop risk-based contamination control approaches that account for open and closed processing, personnel gowning regimes, environmental monitoring, and the unique biological risks inherent in patient-derived cellular materials 

• Collaborate with Global Real Estate and Engineering to evaluate network expansion opportunities; provide cell therapy-specific input on site selection criteria, facility requirements, infrastructure needs, and operational considerations  

• Provide input to and/or lead engineering studies to inform capital investment decisions, site master planning, new technology adoption or platform changes   

• Provide input to and participate in the established capital execution governance framework, planning and reporting 

• Lead identification and assessment of facility-related risks across existing sites and new-build programs, single points of failure in critical utilities, environmental control gaps, safety and infrastructure risks and develop mitigation strategies that inform capital prioritization and operational decisions 

• Harmonize F&E operating models across existing supply sites by identifying opportunities for standardization, shared processes, common resource models, operating costs and aligned ways of working; develop a roadmap to bring consistency without disrupting ongoing operations 

• Support development and deployment of Digital and AI solutions for Facilities & Engineering across the supply network 

• Support implementation of new technology for existing F&E site teams—including training, resource planning, and adoption playbooks 

• Support SHE management review based on data inputs from the supply sites; identify trends, compliance gaps, and improvement opportunities across the network; 

• Provide input to cell therapy specific sustainability initiatives aligned with corporate strategy 

You have

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in engineering (Mechanical, Chemical, Civil/Structural, or Architectural Engineering); Master's degree preferred; professional engineering licensure (PE/CEng) desirable 

• Experience: Minimum 10 years in pharmaceutical/biotech facilities engineering with at least 5 years in a network, multi-site, or above-site role; direct experience with cell therapy, biologics, or ATMP manufacturing facility design strongly preferred; demonstrated experience developing user requirements and design standards for GMP facilities; involvement in greenfield or major expansion programs from conceptual design through operational handover 

• Technical Knowledge: Expert knowledge of contamination control strategy for aseptic and cell therapy environments, cleanroom design (ISO classifications), pharmaceutical HVAC systems, GMP facility requirements, Engineering Studies, and commissioning/qualification protocols; familiarity with sustainability frameworks and current regulatory expectations for cell therapy facility design 

• Skills: Engineering judgment, contamination control risk assessment, ability to develop standards and requirements, cross-functional collaboration, stakeholder influence across sites and the ability to translate manufacturing operational needs into facility design requirements; comfortable operating in a support and input role within matrixed governance structures  

• Systems: Familiarity with BIM (Building Information Modeling), CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management Systems), environmental monitoring systems, and energy management platforms.
