What you stand to gain

A specialised QA Qualification role focused on Facilities and Utilities (F&U) systems at a large pharmaceutical manufacturing site in Belgium. You are not a generalist here: you bring targeted expertise on systems that directly condition the compliance of all site operations. This is a role for someone who understands that the quality of water, air, and energy is not a detail, it is the foundation of pharmaceutical manufacturing.

Why this role exists

The Geel pharmaceutical site operates critical F&U systems that support API manufacturing. To maintain the regulatory compliance of these systems throughout their lifecycle, the QA Engineering department is strengthening its qualification team with an F&U specialist, able to work within engineering teams and ensure cGMP aspects are covered during system introductions and upgrades.

What you will do day to day

•      Review and approve qualification documents and quality records specific to F&U systems: SOPs, user requirements, impact/risk analyses, test plans, test scripts, change controls, CAPAs.

•      Join engineering teams for the introduction or upgrade of F&U systems, and provide upstream advice on qualification and cGMP aspects.

•      Address and follow up on deviations occurring during F&U qualification activities.

•      Communicate status updates (quality, compliance, planning) to the QA Qualification team.

•      Maintain up-to-date knowledge of cGMP regulations and best practices applicable to F&U systems.

Your environment

You join the QA Engineering department of an established pharmaceutical manufacturing site in Geel, working alongside engineering, production, and quality teams. Fully on-site. Contract through 31/12/2026.

What we are looking for

•      4 to 6 years of experience in the chemical or pharmaceutical industry, with specific expertise in the qualification of Facilities and Utilities systems.

•      Solid knowledge of cGMP regulations and guidelines applicable to F&U systems.

•      Ability to translate complex technical information into accessible language.

•      Autonomous, able to manage multiple projects simultaneously, comfortable in cross-functional environments.

•      Proficiency with document management and change request systems (e.g. Trackwise, Comet, TruVault) and test tools (e.g. Kneat).

•      Fluent in English and Dutch, written and spoken.

Before you apply

This role requires specific expertise in pharmaceutical F&U systems. A general qualification background will not be sufficient if you have not worked on this type of system. It also involves managing multiple files in parallel with rigorous documentation discipline and a strong sense of priorities. If F&U is not part of your background, this role is not the right fit.
