Full benefits


Our client is a global engineering and construction partner behind some of the largest cGMP manufacturing facilities under construction in the US - biologics, fill-finish, API and advanced therapies.


This is a technical authority role for someone who wants to stay hands-on with the engineering rather than move into delivery management. You define the design basis, set the philosophies, and give the project team a defensible concept to run with.


What you'll be doing

  • Owning the mechanical concept and design basis for cGMP manufacturing and cleanroom facilities
  • Cleanroom HVAC, pressure cascades and containment strategy; clean utilities including WFI, purified water, clean steam and process gases; black utilities and central plant
  • Producing the calculations, system selections and design philosophies the detailed design is built on
  • Advising clients at feasibility and concept stage, including options studies and basis-of-design documentation
  • Working to ISPE and GAMP expectations, with documentation that stands up to FDA and EMA scrutiny
  • Setting technical standards across the mechanical group and reviewing the wider team's work


What we're looking for

  • Degree in Mechanical Engineering; PE required
  • Strong track record on cGMP or comparable high-purity capital projects - pharma, biotech, medical device, or transferable semiconductor/cleanroom experience
  • Real depth in cleanroom HVAC and clean utility systems on the facilities side, rather than product or R&D design
  • Familiarity with validated environments and how design decisions carry through to qualification
  • Based in or willing to relocate to the one of the locations listed at the top
