Pharmaceutical Laboratory Analyst
The role of a Pharmaceutical Laboratory Analyst is to conduct analytical testing and quality control of pharmaceutical substances in a Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) environment.
This involves performing a range of analytical techniques including Gas Chromatography (GC), High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), and other relevant methods.
The successful candidate will have a strong background in chemistry and experience working in a GMP laboratory setting.
In this role, you will be responsible for receiving training from SGS and the client on relevant analytical techniques, as well as providing training to other analysts where qualified.
You will carry out testing in accordance with valid testing procedures and regulatory requirements, ensuring that all laboratory equipment is well maintained and calibrated at designated frequencies.
Your duties will also include managing inventory and the status of materials required for analysis, verifying and reviewing results generated by other analysts for compliance with requirements, and ensuring correct data entry into the Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS).
A key aspect of this role is to assess testing results generated in the laboratory, close out batch analysis, and ensure that all target dates are met.
Additionally, you will update visibility tools and communicate testing status at meetings, maintain laboratories to a high housekeeping standard, and ensure high standards of lab records with work completed right first time and on time.
You will also be responsible for writing and maintaining necessary documentation, such as Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), methods, and reports.
This role requires excellent quality and safety standards, aptitude in lab computer systems, including LIMS and Trackwise, and a team player who is flexible to evolving needs with a strong customer service mentality.
