Job Description
Position Summary
This position operates on a 2-2-3 schedule, with 7:00 pm-7:00 am shifts. The Manufacturing Supervisor leads a team of manufacturing associates to perform upstream or downstream processing of bulk intermediates and/or bulk drug substances for biopharmaceutical products. The Supervisor will plan, assign, and monitor daily tasks to ensure timely “Right First Time” execution and strict compliance with safety and quality regulations, e.g., current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP). As needed, the Supervisor will also lead teams on projects to author standard operating procedures (SOPs) or Master Batch Records (MBRs); implement corrective and preventive actions (CAPAs); and help specify, commission, and qualify new facilities and/or equipment.
A proven and qualified Supervisor will use knowledge and experience in upstream processing (seed expansion, bioreactor operations, cell culture harvest), downstream processing (purification and bulk filling) to teach others, troubleshoot, and continuously improve daily operations, and/or manufacturing support operations (solution preparation, assembly preparation, parts wash, and autoclave) activities.
The Supervisor will have a working knowledge of upstream processing equipment (incubators, biosafety cabinets, bioreactors, cell counters, blood gas analyzers, metabolite testing equipment), downstream processing equipment (mixing vessels, chromatography, tangential flow filters, virus filters), and/or manufacturing support equipment (mixing vessels, parts washers, and autoclaves). Additionally, the manufacturing associate will have knowledge of general bioprocessing equipment such as filters, filter integrity testers, balances, pumps, pH/conductivity meters, and disposable technologies (disposable bags, sterile tubing welders, tubing sealers).
Additionally, the Manufacturing Support supervisor manages the staff who clean the GMP facilities.
The Supervisor will review manufacturing procedures and train manufacturing personnel to ensure that manufacturing operations are conducted accurately, safely, and compliantly. The Supervisor will maintain a sense of ownership of the production processes, manufacturing environment and facility. Following task execution, the Supervisor will review executed production batch records and production orders to ensure a comprehensive and accurate set of actions have occurred. It is management’s expectation that all deviations/events are documented and escalated according to KBI internal notification processes.
The Supervisor will use leadership and technical expertise to drive process improvement initiatives, monitor processes and equipment, troubleshoot issues, and track/trend metrics.
Position Responsibilities
  • Ensure timely execution and review of batch documentation and logbooks, initiation of deviations, and execution and completion of ERP orders.
  • Author, train, review manufacturing procedures

  • Ensure timely corrections to batch documentation and logbooks.
  • Drive process improvement initiatives; troubleshoot issues; track and trend metrics; and author, review, and approve manufacturing deviations, CAPAs, and change controls, as needed.
  • Supervise, coach, mentor, and train team members to maintain educated, qualified, and motivated employees. Ensure staff maintain a high level of compliance to procedures and quality expectations.
  • Facilitate additional manufacturing activities and process support with other manufacturing groups, MS&T, PD, QA, Maintenance, Facilities, AFS and Microbiology.
  • Ensure equipment and manufacturing facilities remain in working order by overseeing maintenance, cleaning, and ensuring timely submission of work orders for facility and equipment maintenance and repair.
Position Requirements
Supervisor:
  • Bachelor’s degree in a related scientific or engineering discipline and 4 years’ experience in related cGMP manufacturing operations; or high school degree and 10 years’ experience, or equivalent.

  • Must be organized and able to focus in a face-paced, multi-tasked environment and maintain operational efficiency and positive demeanor.
  • Prior experience in a leadership/supervisory role is preferred.
  • Demonstrated knowledge of upstream (cell culture or microbial fermentation) or downstream unit operations for production of biopharmaceuticals is preferred.
  • Knowledge of quality systems and regulatory expectations is preferred.
  • Experience in single-use platform technology is preferred.
