Job details:
Key Qualifications & Attributes:
· Technical Expertise: Deep, hands-on mastery over commercial fermenter operations, automated SCADA/PLC process interfaces, and specialized process utilities (steam, sterile air, and water loops).
· Analytical Rigor: Strong capability for data-driven decision-making, real-time process monitoring, and systematic root-cause analysis of technical deviations.
· Leadership & Synergy: Proven track record of managing and mentoring shift teams while driving seamless, proactive coordination with cross-functional departments (QA, Engineering, and Planning).
Core Job Responsibilities
Fermentation Batch Management
Masterfully organize, schedule, and execute large-scale fermentation batches and upstream preparation routines in line with weekly plant volume targets.
Real-Time Process Monitoring
Constantly supervise, record, and regulate automated parameter curves via SCADA/PLC software, adjusting pH lines, dissolved oxygen (DO) saturation, glycol temperature jackets, and precise carbohydrate/nutrient feeding loops.
Sterility Guarantee (CIP/SIP)
Enforce zero-tolerance contamination protocols across all plant streams. Supervise mechanized Clean-In-Place (CIP) and Steam-In- Place (SIP) operations on production tanks, lines, and manifolds.
Team Steering & Resource Deployment
Formally direct and assign granular duties to a shift workforce of 10 to 15 bioprocess technicians and contract personnel at the start of each operating window.
Engineering Troubleshooting
Quickly detect, evaluate, and resolve microstructural or utility disruptions within the fermenters, valves, and peripheral equipment, minimizing turnaround delay metrics.
Cross-Functional Communications
Interface with Maintenance, Utilities, and Quality Control sections during shifts to secure stable process supplies (steam, compressed air, treated water) and validate physical culture assays.
GMP Records & BMR Review
Personally fill out, audit, and approve real-time Batch Manufacturing Records (BMRs), equipment logbooks, and comprehensive shift-to-shift technical handover documents.
Shop-Floor Key Performance Indicators
Batch Success Runway
Sustain an annualized batch completion index >= 98.5% with zero failures attributable to shift execution errors.
Data Logging Compliance
Deliver 100% timely accuracy across BMRs, logbooks, and shift reporting data sheets, ensuring clean internal and external quality audits.
Downtime Reduction (MTTR)
Maintain an operational Mean Time to Repair threshold under 45 minutes by executing rapid shift-level utility interventions.
Material Conservation
Uphold chemical, culture, and substrate mass balance efficiency limits to within +/- 1.5% of optimal formula design parameters.
Candidate Profile & Technical Qualifications
Basic / UG Background
Bachelor's degree (B.Sc/ B.Tech) in Biotechnology, Biochemical Engineering, Industrial Microbiology, or a closely related biological sciences pathway
Target Background Contexts
Industrial Agribiotech, Bio-pesticide, Bulk Probiotic, API / Enzyme Manufacturing, or dedicated continuous-process commercial fermentation lines.
Interpersonal Profile
Articulate communication parameters (proficient in written/spoken English and local Marathi dialogues) paired with strong data-driven crisis handling strengths.
