  • Monitor incubation and growth observations according to USP <71>
  • Document results and escalate any abnormal findings per established protocols

Endotoxin Testing (USP <85>):
  • Oversee bacterial endotoxin testing (BET) using LAL methods (gel-clot, chromogenic, turbidimetric)
  • Ensure test methods meet compendial and product-specific requirements
  • Investigate test failures and assess impact on product quality and safety.

Microbial Identification and Trending:
  • Identify recovered organisms using Gram staining and advanced ID tools
  • Track trends in cleanroom isolates and product contamination data
  • Prepare monthly and quarterly microbiological trending reports (Data gave me this frequency - can change to reflect our needs - or leave as is)

OOS and Excursion Investigations:
  • Lead microbiology-related investigations for out-of-specification results or EM excursions
  • Perform root cause analysis and implement CAPs in collaboration with QA
  • Ensure accurate, complete, and timely investigation documentation

Aseptic Technique and Gowning Qualification Support:
  • Observe and evaluate aseptic practices during media fills and daily operations
  • Assist with training, qualification, and periodic requalification of cleanroom personnel
  • Review gowning footage and aseptic practices for compliance with SOPs

Laboratory Equipment Maintenance and Qualification:
  • Oversee calibration and maintenance of EM and microbiology lab equipment (e.g., air sampler, endotoxin readers)
  • Maintain equipment logs, service records, and calibration certificates
  • Ensure compliance with cGMPs and lab SOPs

SOP Management and Document Control:
  • Draft, revise, and review SOPs, protocols, and microbiological test methods
  • Ensure alignment with USP chapters, FDA guidance, and internal procedures
  • Support regular SOP review cycles and change control processes

Interdepartmental Collaboration:
  • Partner with QA and Production on cleanroom control and contamination risk management
  • Participate in cross-functional meetings, audits, and projects
  • Provide microbiological input for risk assessments and change controls

Audit and Regulatory Support:
  • Prepare and present microbiology data during internal and external audits
  • Support regulatory inspections with required documentation
  • Maintain an audit-ready state through continuous compliance

Physical Demands:
  • Ability to stand for long periods of time during cleanroom monitoring or gowning activities
  • Fine motor skills to handle small lab tools, pipettes, swabs, and other microbiological equipment
  • Ability to lift and carry equipment or testing materials weighing up to 25 pounds
  • Good visual acuity (with or without corrective lenses) for microscopic analysis and detailed data review
  • Capability to work in controlled environments (temperature and humidity controlled cleanrooms)
  • Occasional sitting, bending, crouching, or reaching as required by cleanroom tasks

Required Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's Degree in Microbiology, Biology, or related field
  • Minimum 2 years of experience in microbiological testing in a regulated pharmaceutical, biotech, or compounding environment
  • Working knowledge of USP chapters: <795> <797> <71> <85> <1116>
  • Familiarity with aseptic technique and cleanroom practices in GMP/GLP settings
  • Experience with environmental monitoring, bioburden testing, and sterility testing protocols
  • Strong understanding of cGMPs, FDA guidelines, and quality documentation practices
