QA Document Control Assistant - Contract


Location: Fort Dodge, IA | On-Site Required | Duration: 6 Months


Position Overview


This contract role supports a high-volume, fast-paced document control function within a GMP-regulated animal health manufacturing facility. The site is in a growth phase, actively adding headcount across the organization, and the document control team requires additional bandwidth to manage both day-to-day operations and an active records digitization project. The contractor will join a three-person team (lead plus two assistants) and will primarily support a large-scale document scanning initiative before transitioning into broader document control support activities.


This is a role for someone who can hit the ground running in a regulated environment, maintain focus through high-volume repetitive tasks, and adapt quickly as priorities shift. The team is collaborative and well-led, but the pace is demanding - this is not a sleepy doc control environment.


What You'll Be Doing


In the first three months, the primary focus will be document scanning - converting a significant volume of archived hard copy records into the site's electronic document management system and coordinating the physical relocation of those records within the facility.


As the role evolves, responsibilities may expand to include:

• Filing and organizing documents within Veeva (primary EDMS)
• Formatting documents submitted to document control for routing
• Issuing controlled records to production and reviewing for compliance with Good Documentation Practices
• Supporting the maintenance of the document control area in a state of control and compliance
• Ensuring documents are stored, traceable, and retrievable per the site's retention policy
• Providing general QA operational support as needed
• Supporting internal and external regulatory inspections as needed

• 3-5 years of administrative or document control experience, ideally in a regulated manufacturing environment
• Experience in an FDA or USDA regulated industry strongly preferred; pharma, biotech, CDMO, or animal health backgrounds are all relevant
• Veeva experience is a plus but not required - training will be provided
• Strong attention to detail and organizational skills
• Comfortable working at a high pace with shifting priorities and frequent reprioritization
• Ability to maintain accuracy and focus through repetitive, high-volume tasks
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint)
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills; ability to work well within a close-knit team
• Ability to work independently with minimal supervision once trained
