• Ensuring production areas, materials and equipment are all ready for production activities.
• Performing engineering and GMP production runs according to protocols or SOPs, including accurately recording all process, equipment and material data.

• Proactively identify and work on resolving problems that occur in production.
• Investigating deviations.
