Why Work at Elwood?

The Elanco Elwood, Kansas facility was acquired from Kindred Biosciences in 2021 and has since undergone a major $150M state-of-the-art expansion, quadrupling our monoclonal antibody (mAb) manufacturing capacity to deliver breakthrough, first-in-class pet therapeutics like Trutect™ and Befrena™. Working at our commercial-scale biologics facility in Elwood presents an exciting opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge animal health innovation: Monoclonal antibodies are an innovative type of biologic medicine that target specific pathways to treat serious companion animal conditions, from infectious diseases to chronic dermatological and autoimmune disorders. Joining our team gives you the opportunity to be on the forefront of veterinary biotechnology, work with advanced single-use bioreactor and automated purification systems, and directly impact the lives of millions of pets and their families.

Shifts: This role offers 12-hour rotating shift schedules for both Day Shift (5:00 AM to 5:00 PM) and Night Shift (5:00 PM to 5:00 AM), including every other weekend. Further details about the specific 12-hour shift schedule and shift preferences will be discussed during the interview process.

Shift Differential Pay Perks: Please note that night shifts receive a shift differential, weekend work will have a 4% premium on days, and for nights you will have a 10% shift premium during the week and 14% on weekends.

We have opportunities across both Upstream and Downstream manufacturing suites:

  • Upstream Focus (Cell Culture & Inoculation): If you are naturally experimental, curious about living biological systems, and enjoy observing dynamic cell growth, media formulation, and sterile bioreactor operations, upstream processing could be the ideal path for you.
  • Downstream Focus (Purification & Filtration): If you are detail-oriented, analytical, and enjoy data calculations, chemical separations, chromatography, and precision filtration mechanics, downstream processing might be the perfect fit for you.

An operator is responsible for performing and documenting all tasks and activities associated with biologics manufacturing at the Elwood, Kansas monoclonal antibody (mAb) manufacturing facility.

  • Downstream Processing: Set up, operate, and sanitize automated chromatography skids, depth filtration, viral filtration/inactivation, and Tangential Flow Filtration (TFF/UFDF) systems for mAb isolation and purification.
  • Core Operations: Execute and monitor core mAb manufacturing processes (media/buffer prep, upstream/downstream processing, formulation, fill/finish, secondary packaging).
  • Maintain cGMP compliance in a regulated environment (USDA/FDA/EMA).
  • Follow SOPs and batch records precisely for equipment operation, processing, and daily tasks with strict Good Documentation Practices (GDP).
  • Perform aseptic manipulations and maintain a sterile, classified cleanroom environment.
  • Support equipment preparation, maintenance, and process improvements, while interfacing with QC for sampling and environmental monitoring.

What You Need to Succeed (Minimum Qualifications):

  • Proficient in basic computer skills (Windows/Microsoft Office) and communication (written & verbal).
  • Demonstrates teamwork, initiative, strong work ethics, and a positive attitude.
  • Must be able to wear appropriate gowning and personal protective equipment (PPE) in production and manufacturing support areas.

What will give you a competitive edge (preferred qualifications):

  • Associate or Bachelor's degree in a biomanufacturing related discipline (eg. biology, chemistry, engineering, etc.).
  • Experience in a regulated, commercial GMP biomanufacturing environment (relevant experience may include media and buffer preparation, cell culture, fermentation, aseptic processing, chromatography, TFF, final formulation, and fill/finish).
  • Understanding of USDA, FDA, and EU GMP regulatory standards for veterinary biologics.

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.
