Manufacturing Biotech Associate

Work at the Forefront of Biologics Production

Manufacturing Biotech Associate

Imagine developing your manufacturing career in a state-of-the-art biopharmaceutical facility, working with advanced technologies involved in the production of innovative biologic medicines.

This is an exciting opportunity for a Manufacturing Biotech Associate to join a globally recognised pharmaceutical organisation at its modern, single-use multiproduct manufacturing facility in Dunboyne, Co. Meath.

As part of a self-directed manufacturing team, you'll gain practical experience across the biologics production process, from inoculation and cell culture through to filtration and purification. You'll work with sophisticated manufacturing equipment, automated production recipes and paperless systems, building valuable technical expertise in an environment where quality, precision and patient safety are paramount.

Ideal for someone with an early-career background in pharmaceutical or biotechnology manufacturing, this role offers the opportunity to work with advanced production technologies and develop specialist experience within the biopharmaceutical industry.

What you'll achieve (and why it matters)

• Support the manufacture of biologic drug substances and successful execution of production batches.
• Prepare, set up, operate and monitor single-use manufacturing equipment.
• Perform production activities across inoculation, cell culture, filtration and purification.
• Execute automated manufacturing recipes using paperless production technology.
• Carry out equipment cleaning, validation activities and in-process testing.
• Maintain accurate batch records and manufacturing documentation in accordance with approved procedures.
• Monitor processes, identify operational issues and support troubleshooting activities.
• Ensure compliance with GMP, EHS and site quality requirements.
• Participate in process optimisation and continuous improvement initiatives.

Your edge (desired, not required)

• Qualification in Science, Biotechnology, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Engineering or another relevant technical discipline, or equivalent.
• Approximately 0–3 years' experience in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology or a related industry.
• Previous experience in a regulated manufacturing environment.
• Exposure to biologics manufacturing, upstream processing or downstream purification would be advantageous.
• Familiarity with GMP documentation, SOPs, batch records and electronic manufacturing systems.
• Experience with single-use technologies or automated manufacturing equipment would be beneficial.
• Strong practical problem-solving, logical thinking and attention to detail.
• A proactive approach with the ability to work independently and as part of a team.
• Flexibility to work a 24/5 rotating shift pattern, including days, nights and weekends.
