As part of this role, you will be trained on and acquire working knowledge of the regulatory requirements that our products need to meet. Your normal place of work will initially be the Greater London Innovation Centre in Egham but is expected to move to the Greater London Innovation Centre in Reading.

• Raise internal P&G Change Controls to reflect proposed materials, packaging and manufacturing process changes at manufacturing sites, following appropriate review and work flow with business, QA and MPD - where required

• Frequent communication with Technical experts within MPD and at Manufacturing sites may be required to gather supporting documentation and understand scope of individual projects (i.e. gather data to support specification changes; raw material supply qualifications)

• Ensure compliance with all relevant standards, e.g. Good Manufacturing Practice

• Design and execute and document experimental studies at Lab / Pilot scale (as required) to develop or modify products to meet differing consumer and regulatory & safety needs

• Ensure critical packaging design features such as release and stability limits, packing validation reports etc. are accurately incorporated into product registrations.
