• GMP & Quality Compliance: Conduct thorough quality investigations (e.g., deviations, CAPAs, root-cause analyses) and ensure all maintenance activities strictly comply with regulatory standards.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Serve as the technical bridge between operations, project teams, quality assurance, and external contractors.

After the initial onboarding period (approx. 6 months), you will periodically (approx. once per quarter) participate in the 24|7 on-call duty rotation to ensure the continuity of critical systems.
