What you stand to gain

A versatile QA Qualification role on a large-scale pharmaceutical site in Belgium, covering the full lifecycle of manufacturing systems: from concept through to retirement. You are not validating documents in a silo: you work within engineering teams, advise projects upstream, and act as the cGMP guardian for the introduction of new systems. A role for a technical profile who wants a concrete impact on quality and compliance.

Why this role exists

The Geel pharmaceutical site is a major API manufacturing site in Belgium. To maintain the regulatory compliance of its manufacturing systems throughout their lifecycle, the QA Engineering department is looking for a QA Qualification contractor able to review and approve qualification activities, and to actively support engineering teams across their projects.

What you will do day to day

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

•      Join engineering teams during the introduction of new or upgraded systems, and provide upstream quality advice on qualification activities.

•      Address and follow up on deviations occurring during qualification execution.

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

•      Maintain up-to-date knowledge of cGMP regulations and industry best practices.

Your environment

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

What we are looking for

•      4 to 6 years of experience in the chemical or pharmaceutical industry, with expertise in equipment qualification.

•      Solid knowledge of cGMP regulations and guidelines.

•      Ability to translate technical information into language accessible at all levels of the organisation.

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

•      Proficiency with document management, problem/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 involves rigorous document management and the simultaneous tracking of multiple ongoing projects. It requires the ability to correctly assess the urgency, criticality, and impact of your decisions, and to communicate progress clearly to multiple stakeholders. If you are more comfortable in a single-project execution role, this position will require meaningful adaptation.
