Keep life-changing therapies moving by keeping our utilities running
At AGC Biologics, we bring hope to life by enabling life-changing therapies for patients around the world.

Contribute to projects by providing operational input and ensuring smooth handover to operations.
Represent Utilities during inspections/audits and support validation/investigations as needed.

Experience from regulated industries such as pharma, biotech, or food.
Comfort working with documentation and compliance in GMP environments.
Communication skills in Danish and English (spoken and written).
