Equipment QC Professional

Would you like to work with complex problem solving, optimization and collaboration in an ambitious Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) environment? Do you love metrology, qualification, and maintenance of analytical equipment and wish to upgrade our laboratory with automated procedures and tools for the future?

If so, then you could be our new Equipment QC Professional in our microbiological quality control department located in Bagsværd.
 

The position
You will be part of a group of equipment responsible chemists and technicians with the overall responsibility of securing compliance, so that the department equipment sees minimum down-time. Our equipment consists primarily of isolators, autoclaves, Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization-Time-of-Flight (MALDI-TOF), LAL readers, utensil washers, incubators, microscopes, pH-meter, balances, pipettes, refrigerators, freezers, temperature monitoring system (FMS), etc.

Your primary tasks will include:

• High-quality support to analytical teams, ensuring they can conduct the analysis necessary to release our finished products in due time.
• Approval of the required documentation of both planned and unplanned maintenance of analytical equipment.
• Setting and maintaining calibration requirements, handling deviations, change requests, and qualification approvals.
• Contribute to ongoing optimisation of our existing processes with being curious about how other teams and departments operate, both inside and outside of Novo Nordisk.

In Novo Nordisk we are on a journey of digitalizing our QC laboratories by e.g., introducing automated processes and connecting laboratory equipment to Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) to support a paperless future. You will have the opportunity to contribute to this journey by being observant about new, innovative solutions and secure successful implementation. 
 
Qualifications
Your experiences include:

• An academic degree in Sciences, Engineering, Biotechnology, Pharma or similar, preferably with 3+ years of relevant experience from the pharmaceutical industry or other highly regulated industries.
• Knowledgeable about the criteria for maintaining analytical equipment and GMP equipment qualification.
• Setting and maintaining calibration criteria while working with metrology is advantageous, as well as change request, deviation, and technical writing experience.
• Strong command of English and Danish, as many instructions and documentations are written in Danish. 

 
As a professional, you embrace new ideas and changes, and you are not afraid to take the lead in bringing new solutions, processes, and improvements forward. You are a strong communicator and find it natural to establish new relationships across teams and departments. Finally, you have a quality mindset and a sharp eye for detail.
