Advanced Manufacturing Technologies (AMT) Singapore Program Scientist

Job description

Details:
GSK have established a Singapore Manufacturing Technology Roadmap (MTR) Pre-Industrialisation Programme aligned to the broader Manufacturing Technology Roadmap that seeks to transform the manufacturing paradigm. The Singapore programme will focus on: Synthetic Biochemistry, Continuous Primary Manufacturing, Advanced Process Analytics, Automation and Data Integrity; it will be governed by the Supply Chain Board, led by a dedicated Programme Lead reporting to AMT in PTS and Jurong Technical Lead and include 4 scientific project delivery roles reporting to the Programme Lead.

GSK is pursuing this venture because Singapore is a key region for implementation of the MTR due to the Jurong NPI facility and the Quality Road facility being located there. Jurong is a key site for implementation of continuous drug substance manufacturing and is currently industrialising the Continuous FP project. Quality Road is industrialising the Enzymatic Amoxicillin project, which is part of the expansion of synthetic biochemistry.

The program areas would initiate in the Seek and Incubate phase however, if successful they would progress towards industrialization within Jurong and Quality Road, and in due course into the broader network.

You will be part of a newly created team to manage strategically important and technically diverse pre-industrialisation projects in the newly established Singapore Manufacturing Technology Roadmap. You will lead one or more individual projects as part of this programme and ensure GSK and Singapore maximizes the benefits of this long term strategic partnership and translates the scientific research into a commercial vision. To be successful, you will require a blend of technology credibility, team working mind-set, creative spirit, and the ability to translate projects from the seek phase through to being ready for industrialisation. You will be working with Technology Leads across the business to develop outline work package scopes for execution under the programme, translating these scopes into an executable plan for specific projects, in some cases working directly with the Capital project group. You are required to engage with internal and external research partners to identify resources, set objectives, and deliver research and development into a commercial project. You need to lead work packages through to completion; ensuring delivery is on time and on budget. Collaboration with Global Manufacturing & Supply (GMS) and R&D around operating principles to ensure the output meets key stakeholder, Environmental Health & Safety (EHS) and regulatory requirements, as well as with the teams in our Primary manufacturing sites in Singapore and GMS Supply Chain Strategy to ensure output is aligned with site objectives and will deliver implementable solutions.

Do you have relevant experience in a technical role working in Medicines Manufacturing, and specific experience of initiating and leading technical projects?

Have you demonstrated effective interpersonal, communication and negotiation skills across internal and external stakeholders?

Are you inquisitive, passionate and “think outside the box” about the potential of new ways of working?

Are you willing to explore areas not usually associated with the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry?
