A minimum of two years’ hands-on experience in sterile liquid, injectable or IV fluid manufacturing (candidates with strong pharmaceutical manufacturing experience outside sterile products will also be considered)

Practical understanding of aseptic processing, cleanroom classification, sterile filtration and terminal sterilisation
Familiarity with BP, USP or IP monographs for large volume parenterals
Experience investigating deviations and OOS results and closing CAPAs
A rigorous, detail-driven approach, and the confidence to stop a line when something is not right

Useful but not essential:
Experience with Form-Fill-Seal or Blow-Fill-Seal technology
Exposure to validation activities (process, cleaning, sterilisation)

How to Apply
Interested and qualified candidates should send their CV, a short cover letter and a copy of your PCN licence to: a***@ama-medng.com using “Production Pharmacist Application” as the subject of the email.
They see your structured profile as it stands at the moment you apply, plus your CV if you have one attached. That snapshot is frozen - if you edit your profile next week, this application still shows what you sent today. Your salary expectation is never sent unless you choose to include it.
Yes. The match figure is for you, not for them - AMA Medical Manufacturing Limited does not see it. The apply button works the same regardless of your match percentage.
Because boards rewrite titles when they republish. All copies of this vacancy are the same job at the same employer with the same closing date. We show the employer's own wording and list the rest above so you know you have already seen it.
It appears in your application tracker straight away. Because this application is handled here rather than on an external site, you will see the status change as AMA Medical Manufacturing Limited moves it - viewed, shortlisted, interviewing or declined. Roles that redirect to an employer's own site cannot be tracked that way, and we say so on those listings.
This employer has not yet been checked against the corporate register.
Regardless of any of that, no employer on this platform may ask you for money at any stage. If this one does, report it and tell us what they asked for.
