Our client is a global pharmaceutical manufacturer with advanced biotech operations and stringent GxP standards. The team values technical rigor, cybersecurity, and pragmatic project delivery to support safe, efficient production.

Job Description

  • Lead SCADA/PLC modernization projects (iFIX/WinCC, Siemens TIA Portal) from design to commissioning.

  • Maintain SCADA/industrial servers (e.g., SQL Server), implement backup strategies (e.g., CommVault) and disaster recovery.
  • Troubleshoot automation issues on production equipment and coordinate corrective actions with operations/maintenance.
  • Implement OT networking best practices: VLAN configuration, segmentation, and baseline cybersecurity hardening.
  • Draft and maintain technical documentation, functional specifications, and change records; support CAPA and non‑conformance handling.
  • Identify continuous improvement opportunities and standardize templates/procedures to enhance reliability and compliance.
  • Ensure adherence to site safety and quality policies; escalate risks and track mitigations.

The Successful Applicant

  • 5-10+ years in automation/industrial IT within pharma/biotech or similarly regulated manufacturing.
  • Strong hands‑on with Siemens TIA Portal, WinCC, and iFIX; exposure to Aveva/Wonderware is a plus.
  • Proven experience with VMware/ESXi design, deployment, and lifecycle for OT environments.
  • Confident reading/modifying electrical diagrams; practical experience in revamping and retrofit projects.
  • Solid understanding of industrial networking (TCP/IP, VLANs, segmentation) and OT cybersecurity practices.
  • Demonstrated track record delivering supplier‑led projects on time, within scope, and under GxP constraints.
  • Fluent in CSV and qualification (FA T/SAT, IQ/OQ/PQ); knowledgeable of GAMP 5, 21 CFR Part 11, GMP/BPF.
  • Comfortable with SQL Server basics (maintenance plans, backups) and SCADA/server administration.
  • Excellent problem‑solving, documentation, and communication skills; ability to operate on the shopfloor.
  • Proactive, structured, and collaborative mindset; resilient in fast‑paced production contexts.
  • English required; French highly desirable

What's on Offer

  • Impactful role driving strategic automation and virtualization programs in a leading GMP environment.
  • Autonomy, learning budget, and exposure to multi‑site stakeholders and supplier ecosystems.
  • Competitive package aligned with Swiss market and opportunities for career growth.
