The position sits within the Process Expert group that focuses on downstream operations, giving a newcomer direct exposure to the steps required to move a drug candidate from the lab to commercial production. During the placement the intern will aid in transferring technologies by assembling relevant paperwork, monitoring data streams and gathering input from various functions. The role also involves gathering and interpreting batch information, handling deviation reports and spotting trends in process performance. Preparing slide decks, written summaries and detailed process outlines for internal teams and client meetings forms part of the workload, as does taking part in risk‑assessment sessions, change‑control activities and continuous‑improvement projects. Daily interaction with manufacturing, MSAT, quality assurance and process‑development colleagues will be required, together with strict adherence to GMP documentation standards and data‑integrity rules. Participation in team briefings, note‑taking and follow‑up on assigned actions rounds out the duties. Candidates should be pursuing or have finished a bachelor’s or master’s programme in biotechnology, biochemical or chemical engineering, life sciences or a comparable discipline. A genuine interest in biopharma manufacturing and downstream processing is essential, while a basic grasp of bioprocessing concepts and GMP practices is advantageous.
