Using your technical abilities to the full, you will prepare capacity utilisation reports for the management team, as well as taking charge of Batch Manufacturing / Packing Records (BMRs and BPRs) and issuing pick lists to the Warehouse.

The successful candidate must have advanced database skills (particularly Excel) and be able to maintain 100% accuracy even under fast-paced conditions. You must have first-rate communication and administration skills and be able to manage your own workload under pressure.

Previous experience of working in Pharmaceutical GMP manufacturing would be a considerable advantage, though knowledge of other GMP environments (e.g. Food or Cosmetics) would still be viewed favourably. Candidates will be considered with no Production experience as long as their Excel, admin and customer services skills are excellent.
