What you stand to gain

A QA role embedded in the laboratory operations of a site recognised as a centre of excellence for API manufacturing in Belgium. You are not in the back office: you work directly alongside QC and production teams, with a concrete impact on compliance and product release quality. The role combines technical expertise, daily human interactions, and active contribution to the site's quality culture.

Why this role exists

The site specialises in developing and manufacturing small molecule APIs for global markets. The Supply Chain Quality team is responsible for quality oversight and final API release. As the product portfolio grows, we are strengthening the QA team with a profile focused on laboratory activities.

What you will do day to day

•      Provide QA oversight of QC laboratory operations, ensuring cGMP compliance and data integrity (ALCOA+).

•      Review and approve GMP documentation: SOPs, protocols, validation reports.

•      Manage deviations, OOS/OOT events, and CAPAs: ensure timely closure and effectiveness.

•      Conduct QA walk-throughs in laboratory areas.

•      Perform trend analysis and identify recurring issues.

•      Contribute to continuous improvement projects within the laboratory and SCQ team.

Your environment

You work within the Supply Chain Quality team, in close collaboration with QC laboratories, production, and quality partners. The role is fully on-site in Belgium.

What we are looking for

•      Bachelor's or Master's degree in Chemistry, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Life Sciences, Bioengineering, or a related scientific discipline.

•      Experience in Quality Assurance, Quality Control, or laboratory operations in a GMP pharmaceutical environment.

•      Experience in deviation handling: non-negotiable.

•      In-depth knowledge of cGMP and ICH guidelines.

•      Analytical mindset, solution-oriented, able to work under time pressure.

Before you apply

This role involves rigorous documentation management and precise follow-up of quality records under tight deadlines. If detailed administrative work and multi-file management are not your strengths, this role is not the right fit. If you enjoy combining technical expertise with operational collaboration, you will be right at home.
