Specialist Quality Assurance

Specialist Quality Assurance

Duration: 6 Months

Location: Easton, Pennsylvania

ONSITE AT: Easton, Pennsylvania reporting daily. The candidate will physically work on-site at Langham Logistics, a third-party GMP-compliant warehouse in Pennsylvania. Expected hours: 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, potential for second shift, Monday–Friday.

Description

The ideal candidate will have 5+ years of QA experience specifically involving raw materials in a GMP-regulated environment such as pharmaceutical, biotech, or other life sciences industries. A bachelor's degree is strongly preferred; master's candidates may be considered, but Ph.D.-level talent may be too senior for the scope. This role is physically active and requires passing an eye exam, lifting materials (~40 lbs), and consistent gowning (jumpsuit, scrubs, goggles). While officially remote (per internal classification), the worker must be onsite daily. Candidates must be local or self-relocate, no exceptions. Strong attention to detail, comfort in a warehouse environment, and GMP compliance experience are essential. Avoid candidates seeking remote-only work or lacking QA/GMP/raw material background.
