  • Ensure compliance with GMP requirements, internal documentation standards, and quality records expectations.
  • Facilitate document creation, updates, and controlled revisions in collaboration with engineering, QA, production, validation, and EPCM teams.
  • Initiate and manage review and approval workflows using document management systems (e.g., Documentum DMS or equivalent).
  • Track and follow up on sign-offs to ensure timely completion of review cycles.
  • Maintain document traceability and audit readiness throughout all project phases.
  • Act as a liaison between internal departments and external EPCM partners for technical documentation exchange.
  • Coordinate the handover and archiving of EPCM-generated documents into internal systems.
  • Support alignment between CapEx documentation and OpEx procedural updates or GMP-relevant changes.
  • Assist in preparing and maintaining GMP change control documentation (e.g., TCRs, CRs) and ensure traceability of changes from requirements through qualification.

Key Skills and Requirements:

  • Background in Engineering, Life Sciences, Technical Writing, or a related field.
  • Experience in a regulated GMP environment, preferably within the pharmaceutical or biotech industry.
  • Proven expertise in document management or technical documentation for CapEx or OpEx projects.
  • Familiarity with GMP-compliant change management processes (e.g., CRs, TCRs).
  • Strong knowledge of technical documentation and engineering terminology (e.g., URS, P&ID, FDS).
  • Proficiency with electronic document management systems (EDMS).
  • Excellent organizational and coordination skills with a detail-oriented approach.
  • Strong interpersonal and communication skills to manage interfaces between departments and external stakeholders.
  • Fluency in English (written and spoken); German is an asset.
