Qualifications

  • Degree in Engineering, Biotechnology, Pharmaceutical Sciences, or related discipline
  • 10+ years’ experience in Commissioning & Qualification / CQV / Validation
  • Strong working knowledge of GMP requirements, FDA and EMA regulations
  • Strong hands-on upstream and downstream bioprocess knowledge
  • Extensive experience working with Bioreactors, Filtration and concentration systems
  • Excellent documentation, communication, and stakeholder engagement skills

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
