Validation Officer (Interim)
3‑Month Contract | On-site | Wimbledon
We are currently supporting a well‑established healthcare manufacturer undergoing a period of significant expansion across multiple sites. Due to a growing portfolio of CapEx projects and increased operational demand, the organisation is seeking an experienced Validation Officer to provide critical support to the validation function.
Having partnered with this business for over 15 years, we have a strong understanding of their culture and high expectations around quality, communication, and collaboration. This role provides the opportunity to contribute to a series of meaningful projects within a GMP‑regulated environment where natural health, nutraceutical and pharmaceutical products are all manufactured to pharmaceutical standards.
While this is an interim role, it represents an exciting opportunity to make a visible impact on key technical and site expansion initiatives.

* Leading the process to bring a previously outsourced filling line back in‑house, including full process reversal, tech transfer, and process development activities.
* Delivering validation activities across equipment, systems, and processes (IQ, OQ, PQ).
* Supporting equipment installation, upgrades, replacements, and expansions across the manufacturing facility.
* Contributing to multiple new and ongoing projects.
Experience & Requirements:
* Strong experience in process validation and the full validation lifecycle (IQ/OQ/PQ).
* Experience with tech transfer, equipment installation, and modifying existing systems.
* Demonstrated experience in GMP and pharmaceutical manufacturing.
* (Bonus) Experience in project management or supporting CapEx programmes.
* Ability to integrate quickly into a fast-paced team and adapt to evolving project needs.
Contract Details
* 3‑month contract (with opportunity for extension based on performance and project load).
* Ideally full-time (37.5 hours/week) or 4 days per week (30 hours).
* On-site in Wimbledon.
* Start date: ASAP (within 2-4 weeks preferred).
