Job Description

Quality Assurance Associate for QA Sterile – Sweden Operations

We are now looking for you who want to work as a consultant with us at Randstad Life Sciences, with an initial assignment as a Quality Assurance Associate at AstraZeneca.

Your role

Organizationally, you belong to a group of about 50 people who support sterile manufacturing both in Snäckviken and in Gärtuna.

You work closely with the exciting and dynamic production and are present “where it happens.” Daily, you participate in cross-functional discussions at the production line and make informed decisions on how production should proceed based on quality aspects. Approving protocols from manufacturing and thus being responsible for ensuring that our products meet the right quality and fulfill set requirements is also part of your daily routine.

The role often has an investigative character where you gather facts and use your logical thinking to arrive at decisions. The work is independent and the tasks are broad, you have great opportunities for personal learning, and as a representative of your area, courage, commitment, determination, and integrity are needed.

We have a close collaboration within our groups as well as with other support functions such as quality control, microbiology managers, process engineering, and maintenance, therefore high demands are placed on flexibility and good communication skills. Your position may be challenged, and you need to be able to justify your decisions well with both conviction and humility.

As a consultant at Randstad Life Sciences, we are your employer, but you will have your daily workplace at one of our clients. Your consultant manager is always close at hand, both during and between assignments, to help you develop your career in the direction you dream of. As a consultant with us, you will receive competitive salary, benefits, and collective agreement terms. We are responsive to your wishes regarding assignments and tasks, and with our broad client portfolio in Mälardalen, we will together adapt your continued career based on your skills, experience, and ambitions. At Randstad Life Sciences, we have an offer that means you have the opportunity to develop your skills and/or take additional leave after you have been with us for a while. You will be part of a larger consulting team within Life Sciences and have the opportunity to broaden your network and gain valuable experience from different workplaces.

What skills are we looking for?

• A scientific university or college degree of at least 240 credits, including a course in microbiology of 7.5 credits.

• Very good knowledge of Swedish and English, both spoken and written.

Examples of education include a Master's degree in biotechnology, chemistry, or pharmaceuticals, or a pharmacy degree. It is an advantage if your education meets the competence requirements for Expert in LVFS 2004:7.

Experience in manufacturing, microbiology, quality control, quality assurance of pharmaceuticals, regulatory inspections, or validation/qualification is an advantage. Knowledge of LEAN is also beneficial. We would like you to have an interest in technology, systems, and processes.

To succeed in the role, you are a positive and solution-oriented person who thrives with a large network and broad collaboration across different functions. You are skilled at seeing the big picture and switching between long and short deadlines. You have the ability to communicate in a good, trustworthy manner, and handle the many points of contact and sometimes tough decisions with commitment and integrity.
