An established specialist pharmaceutical manufacturing organisation is looking to appoint an experienced Senior Scientist/Engineer to join its Manufacturing Science & Technology (MSAT) team in Dundee.

You will see processes from first technical transfer through scale-up to routine commercial supply, work across a portfolio rather than a single molecule, and deal directly with the customers whose products you are making. If you like the point where process development stops being theoretical and has to survive contact with a real GMP plant, this is that job.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • You will be the technical owner of processes coming into and running in GMP manufacturing.
  • Lead technical transfer and scale-up of new products/processes into GMP manufacturing.
  • Develop practical manufacturing plans based on customer and technical requirements.
  • Assess process and equipment capability, identifying and closing technical gaps.
  • Provide hands-on production support and troubleshoot process, equipment, and scale-up issues.
  • Lead deviations, investigations, CAPAs, change controls, and risk assessments.
  • Own GMP protocols, reports, manufacturing instructions, and technical documentation.
  • Drive improvements in process robustness, transfer efficiency, and manufacturing performance.

You are likely to have:

  • Degree or equivalent practical experience in Pharmaceutical Science, Chemistry, Chemical/Process Engineering, or a related discipline.
  • Experience within pharmaceutical manufacturing or another highly regulated environment.
  • Hands-on experience in technical transfer, scale-up, industrialisation, process engineering, or MSAT.
  • Strong understanding of the relationship between processes, equipment, and manufacturing requirements.
  • Experience supporting deviations, investigations, change controls, and CAPAs using structured problem-solving.
  • Confident communicator able to work effectively with Quality, Production, and customers.
