Join us and make a difference when it matters most! At Mundipharma, we are committed to delivering high‑quality pharmaceutical products that make a meaningful difference to patients’ lives. Our operators play a vital role in ensuring safe, compliant, and efficient manufacturing processes while upholding the highest standards of quality and safety.

Role Purpose

This role sits within the Packaging Operations team, working across multiple production lines and work areas. The team is responsible for packaging the full range of Bard’s commercial pharmaceutical products, ensuring compliance with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and contributing to continuous improvement initiatives. You will work collaboratively with colleagues, Controllers, and Quality teams to meet daily production targets while maintaining regulatory and quality standards.

Role and Responsibilities

As an Operator, you will be responsible for running a packaging line or designated work area under limited supervision. This includes the correct and timely completion of all production and quality documentation, preparation and transfer of materials, removal of pallets, and basic problem solving to support smooth operations.

You will package pharmaceutical products using a range of manual, semi‑automated, and fully automated equipment, inspecting tablets, capsules, and other dosage forms to ensure they meet quality standards. The role includes supporting basic line set‑ups when required, maintaining high housekeeping standards, and completing effective line and batch cleaning, clearance, and reconciliation activities in line with GMP requirements.

You will be expected to work flexibly across different production lines, often supporting multiple work areas within a single shift. Awareness of daily performance targets is essential, and you will be required to carry out tasks in a way that maximises Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) while never compromising on quality or safety.

Responsibilities also include performing in‑process checks, calibrating associated equipment according to written procedures, recording results accurately, and supporting process improvement activities such as 5S, GEMBA, and problem‑solving initiatives. You may also support training activities and undertake specific projects within the scope of your role, as requested by line management.

At all times, you will work safely and adhere to company health, safety, and security policies, ensuring both personal safety and the safety of others in the workplace.

GMP and Quality

You will demonstrate a strong working knowledge of GMP principles, pre‑requisite quality requirements, and associated documentation. The role requires strict adherence to quality systems, accurate and legible record‑keeping, and close collaboration with Quality Assurance and Quality Control teams to maintain regulatory and business compliance.

What you’ll bring

You will have a minimum of four GCSEs (or equivalent) at grade C or above, including Maths and English, along with clear and legible handwriting. A good practical aptitude, strong hand‑eye coordination, and excellent attention to detail are essential.

Core Competencies and Behaviours

You will be action‑oriented, quality‑focused, and results‑driven, with the ability to prioritise tasks and use time efficiently. You will demonstrate a positive and flexible approach to work, support team members when required, and contribute to maintaining high standards of performance, quality, and safety. At an advanced level, you will be able to share knowledge, support training, and help motivate others within the team.

What we offer in return

• Opportunities for learning & development through our varied programme.
• Collaborative, inclusive work environment.

Diversity and inclusion

Building an inclusive environment where people can thrive, grow and achieve their full potential is a priority. We believe this isn’t just the right thing, but also the smart thing to do. We are on a journey and will seek to move forward together through education and awareness to build a culture that welcomes and celebrates diversity and uniqueness.
