What You’ll Be Responsible For

End-to-End Process Engineering

• Deliver end-to-end process engineering support, from concept and design through to commissioning and operation
• Support the development of safe, compliant processes aligned with regulated manufacturing expectations
• Apply sound process engineering principles to novel and pilot-scale technologies

Process Safety & Hazard Studies

• Lead and participate in process hazard studies, including HAZOPs and safety risk assessments
• Support site compliance with chemical process safety requirements, including flammable materials
• Contribute to safety documentation and risk mitigation strategies for new and existing processes

Equipment Design, Commissioning & Qualification

• Support the design, commissioning, and qualification of process equipment
• Deliver documentation required for equipment qualification, validation, and regulatory readiness
• Support the commissioning and qualification of cleanroom environments where required

Regulated & GMP-Readiness Activities

• Support CPI’s progression towards GMP manufacturing, applying appropriate quality and documentation standards
• Ensure alignment with SHE, GMP/GxP, and Data Integrity expectations
• Produce clear, compliant documentation, including reports, protocols, and technical records

Collaboration & Site Support

• Work closely with operations, quality, and engineering colleagues on site
• Act as a technical point of contact for process engineering and safety-related topics
• Support investigations, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement activities

About You

You are a process engineer with a strong safety mindset, comfortable working in regulated or regulation-ready environments. You enjoy applying structured engineering thinking to complex processes and understand the importance of robust documentation and risk management.

You’ll bring:

• Experience in process engineering, ideally within pharmaceutical or regulated manufacturing environments
• Practical experience of process safety and hazard studies (e.g. HAZOP)
• Experience supporting equipment commissioning and qualification
• Strong documentation skills and attention to detail
• An understanding of chemical process risks, particularly flammable systems

Desirable (but not essential):

• Experience within pharmaceutical or oligonucleotide manufacturing
• Exposure to GMP environments or GMP-readiness programmes
• Experience working in cleanroom facilities
• Familiarity with COSHH, DSEAR, and broader chemical safety frameworks
