QC Laboratory - Project Manager

The QC Laboratory project portfolio is established to improve the reliability, compliance, safety, and operational
efficiency of pharmaceutical laboratory areas. The projects are focused on replacing obsolete laboratory
equipment, upgrading or replacing critical laboratory infrastructure, improving HVAC performance, supporting
laboratory gases and fume hood systems, enhancing monitoring capabilities, and implementing facility re-layout
improvements. These initiatives are intended to maintain laboratory readiness, reduce operational risk, support
regulatory compliance, and ensure that QC laboratory operations can continue supporting product testing, release, and
business supply continuity..
