Process Engineering Positions

Shortages put patients at risk and waste hospital resources.

Department of Veteran’s Affairs, the U.Civica’s mission has expanded beyond the hospital setting to reach consumers directly through CivicaScript, which is dedicated to making quality outpatient generic medicines affordable and available. CivicaScript works with trusted manufacturing partners to develop quality generic medicines and has forged partnerships with like-minded payors, pharmacy benefit managers and pharmacies to enable significant cost savings to be passed along to their customers.

Civica’s new 140,000 square foot state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Virginia will soon produce a steady supply of more than three dozen sterile injectables, all drugs that are currently in or near shortage. The plant will also produce affordable biosimilar insulins, ensuring all Americans have access to lower cost, quality insulins, regardless of their insurance status.

The Civica Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization that fosters philanthropic support for Civica’s work to manufacture and distribute affordable medications. The Foundation’s first commitment is to support Civica’s efforts to bring affordable insulin to all Americans. Leaders from nearly every corner of the diabetes ecosystem are partners in this initiative.

The Process Engineer II will play a critical role in bringing the Civica Petersburg, VA facility into a production-ready state, and in facility and equipment design through commercialization for a newly announced facility expansion for biologics. In the project delivery and startup phase of the project (currently in progress through 2025), the Senior Process Engineer will be dynamic as we endeavor to support the startup, build a new organization, develop and implement the necessary systems and business processes required to support GMP operations, and build the site culture. This will require significant collaboration, creativity and resilience as the site grows to a full scale GMP manufacturing through start up.

The Senior Process Engineer will act as a bridge between the project planning phase and ongoing operations by assuming System Owner responsibility for one or more manufacturing systems. In this role, the successful candidate will work closely with Validation, Manufacturing, and Quality Assurance to ensure availability, support, and maintenance of those system(s) throughout their lifecycle, and serve as subject matter expert internally and in regulatory inspections for production processes utilizing those systems.
