With a strong emphasis on quality, compliance, and continuous training, the company fosters a structured work environment that supports professional development and operational excellence in pharmaceutical formulation. It is a workplace that values teamwork, safety, and precise documentation practices to ensure the production of high-quality pharmaceutical products that meet industry standards.

The role being offered is centered around the position of Formulation Technician, which has multiple tiers indicating different levels of expertise and responsibility within the formulation process. This range includes Tier 1 (Entry-Level), Tier 2 (Intermediate), and Tier 3 (Advanced). The position is an exciting opportunity for individuals interested in pharmaceutical manufacturing and formulation technologies to grow and advance their careers in a controlled, compliant setting.

As a Formulation Technician, the incumbent will be responsible for performing a variety of technical tasks associated with the preparation and processing of pharmaceutical formulations. The role requires strict adherence to safety standards, proper usage of personal protective equipment (PPE), and compliance with Good Documentation Practices (GDP) alongside Current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) regulations. Entry-level technicians undergo foundational training and develop core skills in cleanroom behavior and aseptic techniques, learn to navigate specialized software systems pertinent to formulation tasks, and operate essential equipment such as balances, formulation tanks, and pH meters.

Intermediate and advanced tiers build upon these foundational skills by introducing specific training such as Budesonide Tier I and II training programs, expertise in handling large and portable tanks, and mastery of advanced equipment and procedures including containment boxes, data loggers, and electronic controlled substance waste logbooks.
