Working in quality assurance (QA) within the pharmaceutical industry involves maintaining and improving the standards and quality of the manufactured and distributed products, whilst adhering primarily to the good manufacturing practice (GMP) standards, but also to GCP, GLP and GDP (clinical, laboratory and distribution respectively).
ProClinical places candidates within this field to provide them with an exciting opportunity to join a team responsible for maintaining the quality principles and conduct within a company. This role varies from day to day. However, the typical responsibilities of a candidate employed into QA are to provide GMP training regulations to employees, review and approve quality of documentation, maintain robust quality management systems (QMS), perform product quality reviews according to regulatory requirements, carry out failure investigations and put preventative actions in place, and to perform audits to identify and solve non-compliance issues.
The QA role will require candidates to be educated to degree level in a relevant scientific subject. Candidates must have previous and significant pharmaceutical industry experience within a quality assurance role, they must have pharmaceutical manufacturing experience and have outstanding knowledge/experience of pharmaceutical GMP and validation within quality assurance. Candidates should ideally have refined skills in verbal and written communication, interpersonal skills, meticulous attention to detail, and be extremely results-driven, as well as highly organised.
