Production Technologist

It's fun to work in a company where people truly believe in what they are doing!

Join our production team as a Production Technologist and play a hands-on role in the manufacture and scale-up of innovative enzyme, oligosaccharide and polysaccharide products. Reporting to the Production Manager, you will support a range of upstream and downstream manufacturing activities while maintaining high standards of quality, safety, documentation and operational excellence. This is an excellent junior-level opportunity for a scientifically qualified professional who is eager to develop their manufacturing experience in a regulated production environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Carry out upstream and downstream processing activities, including fermentation, purification and isolation of recombinant and non-recombinant enzymes, oligosaccharides and polysaccharides.
• Support manufacturing operations through media and buffer preparation, chromatography, ultrafiltration, membrane filtration and rotary evaporation techniques.
• Assist with the scale-up of manufacturing processes from laboratory to pilot production scale, following approved procedures and agreed timelines.
• Maintain accurate production records, analyse process yields and support the preparation and updating of batch manufacturing records and standard operating procedures (SOPs).
• Work in full accordance with Health & Safety, Quality Management System (QMS) and Quality Assurance requirements, promptly escalating any issues to the appropriate manager or EHS representative.
• Contribute to continuous improvement, lean manufacturing and operational excellence initiatives, including support for investigations, CAPAs and internal audits.

Job Requirements

• A degree in Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Pharmaceutical Manufacturing or a closely related scientific discipline.
• Scientific knowledge of upstream and downstream processing, with strong laboratory skills and attention to detail.
• Experience in one or more relevant manufacturing or production activities is advantageous; however, applicants at an early stage of their career are encouraged to apply.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to maintain clear, accurate and complete documentation.
• Good organisational, problem-solving and multitasking abilities, with the capacity to work independently and collaboratively to meet production timelines.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office applications and eligibility to work in Ireland.

What We Offer

• A standard benefits package.
• The opportunity to build practical experience across laboratory, pilot-scale and manufacturing operations.
• Exposure to quality-focused processes, continuous improvement initiatives and cross-functional collaboration with Production, Quality Control, Health & Safety, Stock and site leadership teams.
• A supportive environment where proactive, detail-oriented team members can develop their technical and professional capabilities.

If you are a motivated science graduate or early-career manufacturing professional looking to develop your expertise in a hands-on production role, we'd love to hear from you. Join our team and contribute to the safe, compliant and efficient delivery of high-quality products.
