Our group manufactures a variety of Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMPs) in state-of-the-art Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) facilities for novel therapies of different cancers and rare diseases.

About the role

The Production Assistant is responsible for supporting the manufacture of different types of Investigation Medicinal Products (IMPs) and “Specials” for cell therapies, but especially viral vectors used in clinical trials, by taking care that the documentation, materials, equipment and facility are ready for use.

The tasks of the Production Assistant include reviewing and updating GMP documents like Standard Operation Procedures and forms, validating equipment and completing corresponding reports, confirming service status of equipment, cleaning and monitoring processing rooms, gathering and preparing materials into cleanrooms.

Furthermore, during manufacturing activities inside the cleanrooms the post-holder is guiding the operators through aseptic production processes according to written procedures, ensuring that all steps are carried out correctly, passing materials between differently graded environments, completing necessary process tasks in the cleanroom and filling in the documentation in line with the Pharmaceutical Quality System (PQS).

For continuous improvements of processes, the Production Assistant is an active participant when investigations of deviations / quality exceptions are carried out and when corrective and preventive actions (CAPAs) are implemented.

In addition to be able to work independently strong team play with other members of the production team, including senior staff, is required by the Production Assistant to receive the required support and to master all tasks in a timely manner to the required standards. Close interactions with other groups of the wider team, e.g. technical and quality staff, is also needed on a regular basis to ensure milestones are met and products delivered according to schedule.

The Production Assistant must be highly motivated and interested in working in the GMP manufacturing field. Previous GMP experience is desirable, but at least basic GMP knowledge and biological background is crucial. Broad range of training on GMP is provided as required.
