Validation Engineer - Kentucky

Valspec is seeking a Senior CQV Engineer to support a high-impact Cleaning Validation and Data Integrity initiative at a pharmaceutical manufacturing facility in Lexington, Kentucky.

This consultant will lead validation activities supporting manufacturing suites, process equipment, and laboratory systems within a regulated GMP environment. The project includes development and execution of cleaning validation strategies, remediation planning, SOP creation, data integrity assessments, and cross-functional collaboration with Engineering, Quality, Manufacturing, and Laboratory teams.

The facility manufactures veterinary pharmaceutical products in powder, tablet, and granule dosage forms and operates multiple manufacturing suites as well as quality control laboratory operations utilizing HPLC, stability, incubation, dissolution, and analytical testing equipment.

We are seeking a hands-on consultant who can operate as both a technical subject matter expert and a project leader. The ideal candidate is comfortable working directly with Quality, Manufacturing, Engineering, and Laboratory stakeholders while driving validation deliverables independently.

Candidates with strong CQV backgrounds from biotech facilities are encouraged to apply, particularly those who have supported equipment qualification, validation remediation programs, laboratory systems, and cleaning validation initiatives.
