Kickstart Your Biologics Career. Grow Your Skills. Make an Impact in GMP Manufacturing.
Are you ready to launch your career in biologics while working hands‑on with cutting‑edge upstream technologies? As a Technologist I in Upstream Processing, you’ll play an essential role in supporting GMP manufacturing activities—from preparing and operating bioreactors to maintaining cleanroom readiness and contributing to process development.
This is the perfect opportunity for someone who is passionate about cell culture, eager to learn, and excited to work in a dynamic, fast‑paced biologics environment. You’ll gain exposure to GMP operations, process development, scale‑up, and technology transfer—all while supporting the production of life‑changing therapeutics.
The Technologist I in the Upstream Processing team is accountable for executing and reporting on upstream Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) activities, including support with drafting of Bath Production Records (BPRs) and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), preparation and staging for cleanroom activities, equipment and room qualification, cell passaging/cultivation, and play a supporting role in the operation of small-to-large-scale bioreactors within the Biologics Business Unit. In addition to hands-on cleanroom activities, the ideal candidate will be involved in the assisting of technology transfer, process development, scale-up design, and writing of experimental reports.
At Eurofins CDMO Alphora Inc., our mission is to harness the power of biotechnology and bioprocessing to create innovative complex medicines that will improve the lives of patients worldwide. With a dedicated team of experienced scientists, motivated technologists, and state-of-the-art process development (PD) facility, we are thrilled to be at the forefront of the biopharmaceutical CDMO industry in Canada. Join us on this exciting journey as we push the boundaries of scientific research and provide hope to our most vulnerable.
