Production Operator

Build Your Career in Biologics Manufacturing Production Operator II

Join a large-scale commercial biologics manufacturing site where your hands on skills will support cell culture, purification, and downstream processing in a GMP regulated environment.

We're looking for a detail oriented, safety focused operator who can work confidently in a structured shift based manufacturing team and help deliver right first time, patient focused production.

What you'll achieve (and why it matters)

• Execute biologics drug substance manufacturing processes to GMP standard.
• Operate, monitor, and maintain automated manufacturing equipment and production systems.
• Follow paperless batch recipes through electronic manufacturing systems.
• Perform upstream processing, including inoculation and cell culture activities.
• Support downstream operations including filtration and purification.
• Carry out cleaning, preparation, validation, and in-process testing.
• Ensure all production activities meet GMP and EHS standards.
• Identify, troubleshoot, and emphasize process deviations or equipment issues.
• Work to SOPs, batch records, and established work instructions.
• Contribute to continuous improvement and lean manufacturing initiatives.

Your edge (desired, not required)

• Level 6 qualification (minimum) in Science, Biotechnology, Engineering, or a related field.
• 0-3 years' experience in pharmaceutical or biotech manufacturing (or equivalent).
• Exposure to GMP-regulated environments is an advantage.
• Understanding of biologics manufacturing processes is an advantage.
• Experience in cell culture, drug substance, or bioprocessing.
• Familiarity with automated or paperless manufacturing systems.
• Strong problem-solving ability under pressure.
• Comfortable working a 4-cycle rotating shift pattern (2 days, 2 nights, 4 off).
• Ability to work fully onsite in Swords, Co. Dublin.

Why this role matters

You'll play a direct role in getting a commercial-scale biologics product safely and compliantly through production - from cell culture to purification. It's a genuine entry point into large-scale biologics manufacturing, with a strong shift allowance and extended time off built into the rotation, and a clear route to build long-term technical experience in a highly regulated industry.

All applications are treated in the strictest confidence.
