Commissioning & Qualification Lead

Valspec

Job Description

Job Description

Valspec—a global provider of system validation and lifecycle services—provides commissioning and qualification of computerized systems for clients in the Life Sciences industry. Established in 1999, Valspec's mission is to provide a wide spectrum of services that help its clients meet their capital project and lifecycle maintenance goals.

Valspec's projects are critical to the industry, and to the people who rely on its products. Many projects ensure that life-changing drugs are available to those who need them; others streamline production to meet demand at a lower cost, allowing for the discovery of new and innovative therapies.

Overall C&Q Lead — East Coast (Greenfield Pharma/Biotech Program)

About the Role

We're seeking an experienced C&Q Lead to provide program-level leadership for a major greenfield pharmaceutical manufacturing expansion on the East Coast. This is a high-visibility owner's-agent role overseeing commissioning and qualification strategy across multiple facilities and workstreams.

What You'll Do

  • Establish CQV governance and execution strategy for a multi-facility program
  • Lead program-level planning, reporting, and milestone tracking
  • Coordinate CQV managers and cross-functional stakeholder groups
  • Support executive-level decision-making and issue resolution
  • Act as owner's agent across vendor selection and deliverable management

What We're Looking For

  • 15+ years leading CQV programs on large capital pharma, biotech, or advanced manufacturing projects
  • Experience with Validation Master Plans, cross-discipline program management, and owner-side project delivery
  • Comfortable operating across utilities, facilities, equipment, and automation validation
  • Strong executive communication and stakeholder management skills

Location: East Coast (site-specific details shared during interview process)

 

Why Join Valspec?

At Valspec, we offer more than just a job — we provide a career experience rooted in a standout culture, collaborative environment, and a strong sense of ownership. As an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) company, every team member has a stake in our success, fostering a shared commitment to excellence and innovation.  We also offer a highly competitive benefits package, including:

  • Premium medical coverage
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Tuition reimbursement
  • Unique performance incentives
  • And more — all designed to support your growth, well-being, and future.

Join a team where your contributions matter, your development is prioritized, and your success is shared.

When receiving e-mails from a Proconex or Valspec recruiter, you will only receive e-mails from addresses ending in @proconexdirect.com, @proconex.net or @valspec.net.  Any other domains are impersonations and should be ignored.

Candidates must be legally eligible to work in the United States without company sponsorship.  Also, we are not interested in working on a corp-to-corp basis with other companies at this time.

Any third-party unsolicited resume submission(s) will immediately become the property of Valspec. Valspec will not pay any fee to a submitting employment agency, person, or entity unless a signed agreement is established.

Valspec is an Equal Opportunity Employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to sex, race, color, religion, national origin, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, protected veteran status or any other protected class.
