Functieomschrijving

Are you a recent graduate with a bachelor's degree in biotechnology, chemistry, agro- or life sciences? Ready to take the knowledge and skills you've built during your studies and apply them in a real-world setting, where innovation meets purpose?

We’re looking for ambitious and detail-minded professionals to help us shape the future of medicine. At our leading biotech company, you’ll step into a role that’s much more than just a job—it’s the start of a meaningful, long-term career in advanced biomanufacturing.

Your journey begins with in-depth training where we’ll introduce you to the essentials of aseptic (germ-free) operations and GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice)—crucial pillars of our industry. You’ll quickly become familiar with the tools, procedures and mindset that define high-quality biotechnological production.

After your onboarding, you'll become part of a dynamic Operations team that works hands-on with cutting-edge technologies and sterile processes. Together with your colleagues, you’ll carry out precise manual and aseptic production steps, following well-defined protocols to ensure patient safety and product quality.

How a day will look like for you:

  • Contributing to aseptic and manual production processes. 
  • Working in a cleanroom lab environment. 
  • Executing production steps in controlled environments (grade A/B/C/D) such as spiking, media.  changes, cell culture, and freezing therapeutic products.
  • Managing equipment: inspections and maintenance.
  • Thorough cleaning and disinfection of materials.
  • Supporting transitions between production zones.
  • Ensuring patients receive high-quality therapies on time.

Profiel

  • You’re eager to apply your scientific background and contribute to something meaningful—making a real difference in the lives of patients.
  • You’re energized by dynamic environments and excited to keep learning and growing within advanced biomanufacturing.
  • You hold a bachelor’s degree in biotechnology, chemistry, agro- or life sciences, and you’re ready to take the next step—from the classroom to cutting-edge industry.
  • You value structure and precision, and you feel comfortable working in a sterile (aseptic) setting, wearing the proper cleanroom gear.
  • High-tech equipment and innovative processes spark your curiosity—you want to be part of what’s next.
  • You communicate clearly in English, both written and spoken.
  • You’re a team player with a sharp eye for detail, and you understand the importance of following procedures carefully.
  • You’re flexible and open to working in shifts.
  • You’re excited about a 4-days-on, 4-days-off schedule that supports both focus and work-life balance.

Aanbod

 

  • Competitive salary with pathway to a permanent contract after 6 months!
  • Meal vouchers of €7/day.
  • 100% reimbursement for your commuting expenses.
  • Excellent work-life balance thanks to the 4/4 shift system: Work 4 days (10 hours/day), followed by 4 days off. Be prepared to work across various shifts, including: 6:00-16:00, 7:00-17:00, 8:00-18:00, 10:00-20:00, 12:00-22:00, 14:00-00:00, 15:00-01:00 and 16:00-02:00. 
  • Shift premiums variable depending on the shift, and double remuneration for Sunday work - paid on the first inactivity day.
