You’ll work at the intersection of process engineering, plant operations, and compliance, providing hands‑on technical leadership while contributing to the strategic direction of Engineering Services.

This is an on‑site role requiring strong technical expertise, proactive problem‑solving, and close collaboration with R&D, Engineering, and Global Engineering teams.

Key Responsibilities

  • Provide day‑to‑day process and plant engineering support for the CSL Melbourne site
  • Lead maintenance, troubleshooting, shutdowns, start‑ups, and operational interventions for process equipment and utilities
  • Monitor plant condition and performance, identifying trends and proactively managing reliability and maintenance demands
  • Manage work orders and maintenance schedules in collaboration with planners and the Engineering Services team

  • Ensure asset and system data is accurate and maintained within the asset management system
  • Act as a key liaison between R&D and Global Engineering / Broadmeadows Engineering teams
  • Ensure all engineering activities comply with cGMP requirements, cleanroom principles, and safety standards
  • Participate in on‑call support, including out‑of‑hours alarm response as required

You will bring:

  • A Bachelor’s degree in Chemical or Mechanical Engineering (or equivalent)
  • 5–7 years’ experience in plant or facilities operations (preferred)
  • Strong knowledge of process utilities (e.g. WFI, pure steam, HVAC) and plant systems
  • Experience with complex process equipment such as bioreactors, filling lines, or similar systems (preferred)
  • Understanding of maintenance strategies, shutdown planning, and asset criticality
  • Knowledge of regulatory frameworks (FDA, TGA, OGTR) and quality/validation systems
  • Experience with automation or process control systems (e.g. Siemens PCS7) (preferred)

Working Environment

  • Based full‑time on site at CSL Melbourne (5 days per week)
  • Some flexibility in working hours, with occasional overtime or weekend work required
  • Occasional on‑call support and after‑hours availability

Why Join CSL?

  • Work in a world‑class R&D environment supporting life‑changing therapies

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.
