Process Engineer – 1 year fixed term contract
GSK are recruiting for a Process / Chemical Engineer on a full-time, 1 year contract basis on our Montrose site.
It is a fantastic opportunity to join a high performing, diverse team of process engineers responsible for providing commissioning support to a major capital project: technical transfer of a pharmaceutical process into a modified production building.
Job Purpose
The purpose of this role is to develop commissioning plans and scripts, lead process technicians to carry out functional checks on new equipment and oversee solvent simulations of the process.

In this role you will...
- Conduct on-plant testing (including test script preparation, safety reviews) and resolution of technical issues having process engineering dimensions
- Work with process plant software (specification, documentation, offline and online testing)
- Collaborate with other disciplines (chemists, mechanical, electrical and instrument technicians, automation engineers, operations, plant engineers, EHS, quality, other process engineers) to investigate and resolve any issues and communicate with operations.
- This is an on-site role.
