Job description

By clicking the "Apply" button, I understand that my employment application process with Takeda will commence and that the information I provide in my application will be processed in line with Takeda's Privacy Notice and Terms of Use. I further attest that all information I submit in my employment application is true to the best of my knowledge.
Job Description
About the Role
As a Sr. Utilities Engineer, you will serve as a key technical resource for the plant utility systems that support safe, reliable, and efficient manufacturing operations at Takeda's Social Circle, Georgia site. You'll provide hands-on engineering support, troubleshoot utility systems, improve equipment reliability, and develop practical solutions to keep the site operating at its best.
This role is ideal for an engineer with experience in plant utilities, facility systems, or "dark/gray utilities" who enjoys working in an operational manufacturing environment. You'll partner closely with Maintenance, Manufacturing, Operations, Quality, Automation, Validation, Reliability Engineering, and EH&S to solve problems and improve site performance.
You'll also support capital projects, continuous improvement, energy and water reduction initiatives, and sustainability efforts. While sustainability is an important component of the role, the primary focus is on strong plant-utilities and operational engineering expertise.
How You Will Contribute:
  • Provide engineering support and troubleshooting for critical plant utility systems, including cooling towers, chillers, boilers, HVAC, water systems, compressed air, process gases, and related distribution systems.
  • Monitor system performance, analyze operational data, and develop solutions to improve reliability, capacity, efficiency, maintainability, and manufacturing continuity.
  • Partner cross-functionally with Manufacturing, Operations, Maintenance, Quality, Validation, Automation, Reliability Engineering, and EH&S to resolve issues and support site priorities.
  • Lead or support engineering studies, equipment specifications, system assessments, design packages, and capital projects from concept through implementation.
  • Support preventive and predictive maintenance strategies, asset reliability programs, root cause investigations, deviations, CAPAs, and continuous improvement initiatives.
  • Identify opportunities to reduce energy and water consumption, waste, downtime, and operating costs, while supporting site sustainability goals and utility optimization.
  • Support commissioning, qualification, validation, change controls, SOPs, P&IDs, specifications, and other technical documentation as required.
  • Coordinate contractors, vendors, and technical service providers to ensure work is completed safely, efficiently, and in accordance with project and site requirements.
  • Serve as a technical SME for assigned utility systems, maintaining knowledge of applicable engineering standards, industry best practices, and emerging technologies.
  • Respond to occasional after-hours or weekend utility needs to support the site's 24/7 manufacturing operation.

What You Bring to Takeda:
  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering required, preferably Mechanical, Chemical, or a related discipline, with 3+ years of relevant engineering experience.
  • Experience with plant utilities, facility utilities, or "dark/gray utilities", particularly systems such as chillers, cooling towers, boilers, HVAC, or related hydraulic systems.
  • Experience supporting utilities or facility systems in an operational manufacturing environment strongly preferred. Pharmaceutical experience is a plus but not required; relevant experience from other manufacturing industries will be considered.
  • Strong troubleshooting, root cause analysis, and problem-solving skills with the ability to develop practical, cost-effective engineering solutions.
  • Ability to read and interpret P&IDs, process flow diagrams, utility schematics, equipment specifications, and engineering drawings.
  • Experience with capital projects, equipment modifications, system assessments, or facility expansions preferred.
  • Familiarity with CMMS, BMS, process control systems, and/or utility management systems preferred.
  • Experience with equipment from manufacturers such as Cleaver-Brooks, Trane, or Johnson Controls (JCI) is a plus.
  • Knowledge of cGMP, ASME, OSHA, EPA, ISPE, or other applicable industry standards preferred.
  • Experience with Lean, Six Sigma, Reliability Engineering, or other continuous improvement methodologies is a plus.
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to collaborate, influence, explain technical concepts, and work effectively across functions.
  • A proactive, hands-on approach with the ability to take ownership, work independently, manage multiple priorities, and drive issues through resolution.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office and project management tools such as Microsoft Project preferred.

Important Considerations:
At Takeda, our patients rely on us to deliver safe, high-quality products. As a result, we follow strict quality, safety, and compliance requirements throughout our manufacturing and utility operations. In this role, you may:
  • Work in a combination of office-based and field environments, including routine walking throughout manufacturing and utility areas to assess equipment and facility conditions.
  • Work in varying environmental conditions, including cold, hot, noisy, and wet utility and production areas.
  • Wear required personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety glasses, hearing protection, hard hats, and safety footwear in designated areas.
  • Access mechanical spaces and climb ladders as required to support equipment inspections, troubleshooting, and project activities.
  • Work in controlled manufacturing and cleanroom environments requiring compliance with applicable gowning and contamination-control requirements, including restrictions on jewelry, cosmetics, nail products, and other prohibited items.
  • Support a 24/7 manufacturing operation, including occasional off-shift activities, nights, weekends, or holidays as needed. These situations are expected to be occasional rather than a regular weekend schedule.
  • Work with contractors, vendors, equipment suppliers, and other external partners while ensuring applicable safety and quality requirements are followed.
  • Travel occasionally for training, project support, vendor visits, or professional development activities (less than 5%).
  • Speak, read, write, and follow detailed written and oral instructions in English.
  • Follow all applicable cGMP, OSHA, EPA, environmental, health, safety, and site requirements.
