What You’ll Do
The QA Monitor plays a critical role in maintaining cGMP compliance by overseeing cleaning, sanitation, and line clearance activities across manufacturing and packaging areas.

• Review and verify cleaning logs, line clearance records, and housekeeping forms for accuracy, completeness, and compliance.
• Inspect and confirm proper use of “Cleaned” and “To Be Cleaned” tags on equipment and areas.
• Monitor line clearance activities to ensure removal of all previous materials, documents, and components prior to new batch startup.
• Document findings and escalate any nonconformance, residue, or deviation to QA management immediately.
• Support QA Inspectors and Production teams by maintaining a clean, organized, and inspection-ready work environment.
• Ensure all documentation meets ALCOA+ principles and is completed contemporaneously and accurately.
• Participate in internal audits, housekeeping walkthroughs, and process improvement initiatives related to cleaning verification.
• Perform other QA-related duties as assigned to support overall site compliance.
What We’re Looking For
Experience: 0–2 years of experience in a cGMP pharmaceutical, manufacturing, or other regulated production environment. Prior exposure to cleaning, sanitation, or QA monitoring activities in oral solid dosage manufacturing is preferred.
Education: High school diploma or equivalent required; Associate degree in Life Sciences or related technical discipline preferred.
Skills & Knowledge:
• Basic understanding of cGMP cleaning, sanitation, and line clearance requirements.
• Strong attention to visual detail and cleanliness verification.

• Proficiency with Microsoft Word, Excel, and Outlook for QA documentation.
• Flexibility to work varied shifts, weekends, or overtime as production demands require.
