The Microbiologist ensures accurate and timely documentation of EM results, participates in investigations for environmental excursions, supports laboratory and cleanroom operations through 5S and equipment maintenance, and contributes to maintaining a state of control across the facility. As a key member of the Quality Control Microbiology team, this role supports product quality, regulatory compliance, and overall business and production needs.

Key Responsibilities

Environmental Monitoring & Microbial Testing

• Perform routine and non-routine EM sampling (e.g., viable air, non‑viable particle counts, surface contact plates, settling plates, personnel monitoring) in accordance with SOPs and cGMP.
• Conduct microbiological analyses such as bioburden, endotoxin, microbial identification, and growth promotion tests where required.
• Ensure timely and accurate recording of EM data in compliance with GDP and cGMP.

Compliance & Documentation

• Document all sampling activities, test results, and observations accurately in approved forms and systems.
• Review data for completeness and escalate any abnormalities or excursions (OOS/OOT/EM alerts) to the supervisor.
• Support deviation investigations by providing data, participating in root‑cause analysis, and assisting with CAPA implementation where relevant.

Laboratory & Cleanroom Support

• Perform basic troubleshooting of microbiology laboratory equipment (incubators, particle counters, bio-safety cabinets, autoclaves).
• Support EM equipment and consumable inventory management, ensuring availability for routine operations.
• Maintain lab and sampling areas in accordance with 5S and safety requirements.

Cross-functional Support

• Collaborate with Manufacturing, QA, and Facilities teams during EM-related investigations or cleanroom recovery activities.
• Assist in training new analysts on EM techniques, sample handling, and laboratory procedures.
• Perform any other duties as assigned by the Supervisor/Manager.

Required Qualifications

• Diploma or Degree in Microbiology, Life Sciences, Biotechnology, or a related scientific discipline.
• 1–3 years of experience in Quality Control Microbiology or Environmental Monitoring in a GMP-regulated environment (pharmaceutical, biologics, or medical device preferred).
• Hands-on experience with cleanroom gowning and EM sampling techniques is an advantage.
• Demonstrated ability to learn procedures quickly and work independently in classified cleanroom areas.
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to maintaining high-quality standards while meeting operational timelines.
