The Role We Want You For

LJC is seeking an experienced Process Engineer to support the planning, design, and delivery of life sciences manufacturing facilities across a range of therapeutic and production modalities.

  • Lead or support process definition and design efforts for life sciences manufacturing facilities from early planning through construction support.
  • Define process flows, unit operations, equipment requirements, and space needs to support regulated manufacturing operations.
  • Develop process narratives, block flow diagrams, and equipment layouts that inform architectural and engineering design.
  • Collaborate with clients to understand manufacturing objectives, capacity requirements, product mix, and operational constraints.
  • Work closely with process architects and project teams to translate process requirements into compliant, efficient, and flexible facility layouts.
  • Coordinate with critical utilities, mechanical, electrical, automation, and architectural teams to align process needs with supporting systems and infrastructure.
  • Support front-end project efforts by contributing to proposals, technical narratives, and early planning concepts.
  • Participate in client meetings, technical workshops, and planning sessions related to process definition, capacity planning, and operational strategy.
  • Support compliance with applicable regulatory requirements, including GMP / GxP expectations and relevant industry guidelines.
  • Review process-related design deliverables to ensure alignment with defined process requirements and overall project objectives.
  • Participate in multidisciplinary coordination reviews to resolve process-related design challenges.
  • Stay current with emerging technologies, manufacturing platforms, and best practices across life sciences modalities.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering, Biochemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical field.
  • 10+ years of experience in life sciences manufacturing process engineering within pharmaceutical, biotechnology, or advanced therapy environments.

  • Advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs), including cell and gene therapies
  • mRNA
  • Vaccines
  • Active pharmaceutical ingredients (API)
  • Oral solid dosage (OSD)
  • Exposure to additional modalities, platforms, or production technologies is preferred but not required.
  • Strong understanding of regulated manufacturing processes, unit operations, and equipment typical of life sciences facilities.
  • Experience translating process requirements into facility design inputs, equipment layouts, and engineering criteria.
  • Familiarity with GMP / GxP environments and regulatory expectations.
  • Experience working in a design-build or fast-track project delivery environment preferred.
  • Strong communication skills, with the ability to engage in client-facing technical discussions and multidisciplinary coordination.
