The opportunity

A fast-growing biologics site is expanding its Microbial / Mammalian / BioConjugates operations. We’re looking for an experienced Senior Bioprocess Engineer who can lead change on the shopfloor—owning operational readiness, documentation updates, and the roll-out of new SAP functionality—while supporting robust clinical and commercial manufacturing.

What you’ll do

• Lead the roll-out of new SAP features (with focus on logistics/BOM) and ensure operational readiness across manufacturing.

• Drive Change Management deliverables and keep manufacturing documentation up to date (SOPs, batch records, WI).

• Act as functional lead for cross-functional teams (production, supervisors, specialists) to deliver project outcomes on time and in full.

• Create and maintain training documentation for manufacturing and plant logistics; support delivery of training as needed.

• Provide process support to Downstream Processing (e.g., capture, intermediate purification, polishing, drug substance filling) or BioConjugates as applicable.

• Uphold GMP standards and contribute to continuous improvement across processes and documentation.

What you bring

• Bachelor/Master/PhD in Biotechnology, Biochemical Engineering, Biochemistry or related life science.

• Significant experience in Biologics Production, especially DSP (chromatography, UF/DF, diafiltration, dead-end filtration) and/or BioConjugates.

• Strong SAP experience (logistics/material management, BOM).

• Hands-on with MES as an end user; solid understanding of logistics workstreams in production.

• Very good knowledge of GMP and batch documentation.

• Proven project management capability to coordinate initiatives and meet milestones.

• Excellent communication skills in German and English (both required).

• Collaborative, structured, solutions-oriented working style; open to new ideas.

Must-haves

1. Demonstrated project management to drive roll-outs/initiatives.

2. Direct Biologics Production experience (DSP and/or BioConjugates).

3. Practical SAP (logistics/BOM) knowledge.

4. Experience creating training documentation and supporting trainings.

5. German & English fluency; strong communicator with stakeholders at all levels.

6. Effective teamwork across manufacturing, logistics, QA, and engineering.

Why join

• Influence how new systems and processes land on a high-impact biologics site.

• Work end-to-end—from documentation and training to floor execution—in a collaborative, growth environment.

How to apply: Send your CV (in English or German) highlighting SAP/BOM experience, DSP/BioConjugates exposure, and examples of change/roll-out projects you led.
