Quality Control Analyst

Description

The position involves joining the Quality Control department, specifically the Finished Product section. Key responsibilities include performing analytical determinations on semi-finished and finished products, ensuring compliance with current technical specifications and regulatory requirements. The incumbent will execute and actively participate in sampling processes, industrial process validations, and equipment and facility cleaning verifications, documenting all activities through the laboratory management information system. Additionally, collaboration is expected in the continuous improvement of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and analytical guidelines to optimize methods and laboratory efficiency. Another key function is the maintenance and calibration of analytical equipment and instruments, ensuring their proper operation and updating all associated technical documentation. Responsible management of working standards, chemical reagents, and generated waste also forms part of daily tasks, as does collaboration in managing orders for materials required for laboratory operations. Finally, maintaining order, organization, and proper management across various laboratories, storage areas, and the quality control department’s sample library is essential, promoting a safe and efficient work environment. A Higher Vocational Training Cycle in Laboratory Analysis and Control is required. A minimum of three years’ experience in quality control within the pharmaceutical or cosmetic industry—specifically in Finished Product—is mandatory. Technical knowledge must include essential proficiency in HPLC and other common analytical techniques such as pH measurement, density, viscosity, UV/Vis spectroscopy, and friability, hardness, and disintegration testing. Valued competencies include strict adherence to protocols, rigorous documentation practices, analytical thinking, meticulous attention to detail, strong organizational skills, and ability to work effectively in a team.
