I am looking for a CQV Project Lead to independently manage equipment qualification projects within an API Pilot Plant and clinical drug-substance manufacturing environment. This role primarily supports process and equipment CQV—not facilities validation.
 
The ideal candidate has 10+ years of pharmaceutical commissioning, qualification, or validation experience and can independently develop, execute, and close complete qualification packages.
 
Responsibilities
  • Independently own CQV projects and qualification packages from planning through final closeout.
  • Develop and execute commissioning, IQ, OQ, and PQ protocols.
  • Qualify pharmaceutical process and portable equipment.
  • Support reactors, mix tanks, process piping, instrumentation, and potent-compound isolators.
  • Review P&IDs, equipment drawings, specifications, and turnover documentation.
  • Conduct equipment walkdowns and installation verification.
  • Document discrepancies and manage deviations, punch lists, and protocol exceptions through closure.
  • Support nitrogen and process-piping utility qualification.
  • Coordinate with Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, Automation, vendors, and other project stakeholders.
  • Maintain accurate, traceable, and inspection-ready GMP documentation.
  • Author and execute  qualification documentation using Kneat when applicable. 
QUALIFICATIONS
  • 10+ years of pharmaceutical CQV or validation experience. 
  • Hands-on experience developing and executing IQ, OQ, and PQ protocols. 
  • Ability to independently own qualification packages and manage CQV projects.  
  • Strong process-equipment qualification experience. 
  • Experience reviewing P&IDs and technical equipment documentation. 
  • Experience managing deviations, discrepancies, and punch-list items. 
  • Strong GMP documentation and change-control experience. 
  • API, small-molecule, drug-substance, pilot-plant, or specialty chemical manufacturing experience. 
  • Experience qualifying reactors, mix tanks, process piping, instrumentation, portable equipment, or potent-compound isolators. 
  • ADC or biotechnology manufacturing experience. 
  • Experience with single-use systems, single-use mixers, UF/DF systems, Cytiva equipment, or antibody-processing equipment. 
  • Kneat or Kneat Gx experience. 
  • DeltaV or PLC validation experience. 
  • Experience performing I/O checks and verifying controls, HMI screens, alarms, interlocks, and operating sequences. 
  • Nitrogen or process-piping utility qualification experience.
