Core content developed on a pharma construction project

This program was developed on-site by a team of biochemists and senior chemical engineers, working within an engineering consultancy during the construction of a new pharmaceutical plant to train its own engineers and technicians.

This course is right for you if;

  • You want to get from your current industry to working in a mechanical, plant, maintenance or facility engineering role in the Pharma and Med Device industry as fast as possible.

  • You already have a PhDMasters or Engineering Degree and don’t want to waste huge amounts of time and money getting another university qualification at the same or much lower level.

Minimum Entry Requirements

This program is highly specialized so you MUST have the following:

Ph.D.Masters, Degree, or Diploma in:

  • Mechanical Engineer/Technician
  • Maintenance Engineer/Technician
  • Aircraft Maintenance Engineer/Technician
  • Facilities Engineer/Technician
  • Plant Engineer/Technician
  • Production Engineer
  • Manufacturing Engineer
  • Industrial Engineer
  • Civil Engineer
  • Structural Engineer
  • Graduate Engineer of any of the above

AND YOU MUST

  • currently work in the field
    OR
  • have worked or graduated in this field within the last 2 years

What kind of engineering roles in pharma could I retrain for?

Here are some typical job titles we often see advertised and that you could apply for (depending on your previous experience)

  • Maintenance Engineer
  • Plant Engineer
  • Maintenance Systems Lead – ownership of all preventative and corrective works on plant utilities and equipment.
  • Maintenance Planner – the focus is on developing the company asset maintenance program and strategy.
  • Lead Utilities Engineer – manage capital projects from inception to delivery and ensure plant availability is maximised.
  • Clean Utilities Engineer – ownership of clean utilities systems including purified water, water for injection, clean steam, high-quality compressed air, and nitrogen distribution.
  • Facilities Engineer – ensure all preventative and corrective works on plant utilities and equipment are planned and executed.
  • Mechanical Engineering
  • Quality/Environmental Engineering
  • Manufacturing/Production Engineering (Medical Device Manufacturing or Combination Product Manufacturing)
  • Validation Engineering (with our add-on validation program)

I already have an engineering degree. So why take this course?

Your skills are a great foundation for engineering roles in the pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturing industry and the engineering consultancies who work within this sector. But you need more..

You need to understand the industry regulations, the different regulatory standards (US, European, World Health Organization, etc), work practices, approaches to risk management, data integrity approaches, and industry protocols that are critical in the manufacture of safe medicines.

You also need to understand how the air, water and steam systems that underpin and support aseptic/sterile processing and cleanroom manufacturing work.
