• Ensure work packages include the necessary procedures, parts, tools, documentation, permits, and resource requirements.
• Support calibration scheduling for GMP equipment, instruments, utilities, and facility systems.

• Maintain accurate and inspection-ready CMMS records in accordance with applicable procedures and good documentation practices.
• Assist with CMMS data cleanup, asset hierarchy maintenance, record reconciliation, and continuous process improvement.
• Support investigations and follow-up activities related to missed, overdue, or out-of-tolerance calibration events, as assigned.

Requirements

• Direct hands-on experience with Blue Mountain RAM in a maintenance, calibration, metrology, or asset-management environment.

• Experience working in pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device, or another regulated manufacturing environment.
• Working knowledge of GMP requirements and good documentation practices.
• Understanding of equipment and instrument calibration programs.
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage competing priorities and time-sensitive due dates.
• Ability to coordinate effectively with technicians, engineers, operations personnel, Quality, and external vendors.

Nice to Have

• Experience scheduling calibration activities for GMP manufacturing equipment, laboratory instruments, utilities, or facility systems.
• Familiarity with calibration frequencies, tolerances, standards, certificates, and out-of-tolerance events.
• Experience supporting CMMS master-data management, asset records, job plans, and maintenance metrics.
• Experience working in a radiopharmaceutical or highly regulated manufacturing facility.
• Technical degree or training in engineering technology, maintenance, instrumentation, metrology, or a related discipline.
