The position
As a Primary Packaging Engineer, you will be working in an inspiring scientific environment with highly engaged colleagues and in close collaboration with people from different areas such as R&D, QA, Production, and Supply Chain.

  4. Ensuring technical performance, processability, and safety of the primary packaging components and systems.
  5. Leading investigations of primary packaging components, analysing customer complaints and identifying root causes to ensure performance and quality.

The current office location is Bagsværd; however, the department will be relocating to Taastrup in the beginning of 2026.

To be considered for this position, we believe you:

  1. Hold a master's degree in engineering, material engineering, or any other relevant field within the natural sciences.
  2. Possess practical experience within development or maintenance of primary packaging for pharmaceuticals.
  3. Demonstrate expertise in working in a GMP environment, system engineering, safety risk management, and quality specifications.
  4. Showcase fluency in both written and spoken English.

On a personal level you:

  1. Are motivated by finding sustainable solutions for manufacturing processes with strong technical and analytical skills.
  2. Work in a structured manner and take ownership of your tasks.
  3. Are result-oriented and excel in delivering on your milestones.
  4. Inspire colleagues with a positive, proactive attitude.
  5. Excel both on your own and in collaboration with team members and stakeholders across functions and departments.

About the department
The Material ManDev within Product Supply Sourcing Operations consists of 100+ employees organised in 4 departments. We are responsible for development and implementation of complex materials (raw materials, excipients, Primary Packaging materials, etc.) from development to production and maintain documentation on existing materials. We cooperate with a variety of functions, including Chemistry, Manufacturing and Control, Device R&D, QC laboratories, Quality Assurance, various Novo Nordisk production sites, and a range of external suppliers and CMOs. Working in the headquarters, the environment is characterized by innovation, openness, and highly engaged colleagues who work dedicated to help us change lives for the better for patients around the world.
