Join us and make a difference when it matters most!

At Mundipharma, we are proud of the work we do to bring innovative treatments to patients. We challenge ourselves constantly to deliver more for patients, healthcare professionals, our partners, and our employees.

The Team
Reporting to the Operational Excellence Manager, the Packaging Technologist will play a dual role supporting operational excellence and packaging technical robustness within a solid oral dose pharmaceutical manufacturing environment. This position is ideally suited to an experienced pharmaceutical professional with strong GMP knowledge, a hands‑on improvement mindset, and proven experience in packaging operations for solid dose products.

Role and Responsibilities
  • Technical Ownership: Act as the site technical authority for assigned packaging processes, equipment, and materials (including blisters, bottles, cartons, and labels).
  • Operational Troubleshooting: Provide day-to-day technical support and investigation to resolve operational packaging issues and improve process robustness.
  • Change Control & NPI: Manage packaging change controls, artwork updates, equipment modifications, New Product Introductions (NPI), and technology transfers.
  • Continuous Improvement Leadership: Lead and support continuous improvement initiatives using Lean and Six Sigma methodologies (e.g., RCA, 5 Whys, SMED, PDCA) to optimize throughput, yield, and cost.
  • Validation & Qualification: Contribute to line trials and qualification/validation activities, including the execution of IQ/OQ/PQ protocols and risk assessments.
  • GMP Documentation: Author, review, and approve critical packaging-related GMP documentation, such as SOPs, technical reports, and component specifications.
  • Performance Optimization: Align packaging design and material performance directly with OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) improvement and operational excellence targets.
  • Stakeholder Collaboration: Partner with external suppliers and internal cross-functional teams (QA, Regulatory, Engineering, Manufacturing) to ensure compliant project delivery.
  • Compliance & Quality Assurance: Ensure all packaging activities adhere strictly to EU/UK GMP guidelines, data integrity standards, and EHS (Safety) requirements.
  • Deviation & CAPA Management: Lead deviation investigations, drive effective CAPAs, and maintain ongoing regulatory inspection readiness to reduce deviation rates.

What you'll bring
  • Degree (or equivalent experience) in Pharmaceutical Sciences, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related discipline would be preferable
  • Proven experience in solid dose pharmaceutical packaging and/or manufacturing
  • Previous expertise in developing packaging solutions for the pharmaceutical and medical device industries would be advantageous
  • Strong working knowledge of GMP and regulatory requirements
  • Demonstrated experience delivering continuous improvement initiatives would be ideal
  • Practical experience with root cause analysis and structured problem solving
  • Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
  • Experience with blister and bottle packaging lines
  • Understanding of packaging materials & their impact on product integrity
  • Experience with packaging validation (IQ/OQ/PQ) and qualification activities
  • Ability to plan & execute trials to evaluate and optimise packaging performance
  • Experience supporting NPI or technology transfers
  • Familiarity with OEE systems and performance visualisation tools
  • Proactive, self‑motivated, and delivery‑focused
  • Pragmatic problem solver with strong attention to detail
  • Comfortable operating between strategic improvement work and hands‑on technical support
  • Resilient and adaptable in a fast‑paced manufacturing environment
  • Collaborative team player with the confidence to challenge constructively

What we offer in return
  • Opportunities for learning & development through our varied programme
  • Collaborative, inclusive work environment
