​Project Engineer – Fill-finish & packaging


Partnering with a multi-national CDMO that is investing in growth across a full range of services on a global level, we are now supporting a key facility in Missouri upgrade and expand existing fill-finish and packaging lines.


Over the remainder of 2025 and into 2026, there are a number of critical capital investment projects underway, including upgrading equipment, installing new lines advancing technological capability.


For this critical hire, the business is looking to bring in a Capital Project Engineer with experience specifically around sterile and aseptic fill-finish and packaging lines. With your project / program engineering experience, you will bring strong knowledge in the challenges and hurdles the site faces in this transitional period.

Coming from an inspection-ready perspective you will bring a problem-solving approach and be comfortable working in the fast paced, ever-changing CDMO setting.


Given the site upgrades, the expansion and the pipeline of customer business, development prospects are significant in what is already a highly reputable, global brand.
