As a MES Specialist, you will play a key role in our PAS-X project teams in Emerging Technologies, where we support our production in delivering tablets to patients globally. The position requires the ability to take decisions based on business requirements and business strategy and our overall aim is to improve the efficiency of all manufacturing-related processes.

Your main responsibilities will be to:

1. Analyzing production processes, and designing, describing, and testing MES changes in collaboration with OFP production.
2. Mentoring colleagues in the team and OFP.
3. Eliminate production issues in relation to PAS-X and PAS-X barcode equipment in our production facilities.

The existing PAS-X team consists of 8 dedicated specialists and 2 dedicated project managers who have established a strong culture around trust, responsibility, fun and helping each other.

To succeed in this job, you should love to bridge your technical MES knowledge with local business process requirements to identify and collect data, make a structured analysis, and develop excellent standardized and integrated IT solutions in PAS-X. The qualifications we are looking for are:

• Master’s degree within a relevant discipline e.g., Engineering, business, economics, pharmacist or equivalent.
• Ideally 5+ years of experience of MES or other related systems, preferably PAS-X or MBR design; experience with production line/equipment integration is preferred.
• Experience or at least profound interest in manufacturing processes is preferred.
• Strong communication skills both written and orally.
• Full Danish and English proficiency.

Experience with GMP validation of IT systems in a regulated production environment, such as the pharmaceutical industry, is highly beneficial and will be seen as an advantage.

As a person, you are a strong individual who can come up with innovative solutions and have the ability to demonstrate a capacity for gathering requirements to identify issues, opportunities, and patterns. You have a flair for stakeholder management and the ability to be self-motivated, structured, and targeted having a high degree of flexibility.

Your empathy and IT apprehension guide you to transform complex technical challenges and demands into workable solutions. This position requires strong commitment and the ability to make decisions, often in a high-pressure, consensus-driven and political environment.

You will be part of the PAS-X team in our IT & automation department. The team’s main tasks are to support our organization in their daily operation and to participate in analyzing, configuring and implementing PAS-X which is a manufacturing execution system, in close cooperation with all other areas on our site such as bulk, pack and QA.

You will be in a team where there is a great atmosphere and team spirit. We are a group of people with various backgrounds, but we all have in common to support and help each other, have a good time and to make a big difference for our patients.
