## Job description

Valspec—a global provider of system validation and lifecycle services—provides commissioning and qualification of computerized systems for clients in the Life Sciences industry. Established in 1999, Valspec’s mission is to provide a wide spectrum of services that help its clients meet their capital project and lifecycle maintenance goals.

Valspec’s projects are critical to the industry, and to the people who rely on its products. Many projects ensure that life-changing drugs are available to those who need them; others streamline production to meet demand at a lower cost, allowing for the discovery of new and innovative therapies.

Senior Validation Engineer (CQV) — Equipment & Cleaning Validation

Join a leading biopharmaceutical manufacturer in the San Diego area as a Senior Validation Engineer supporting equipment and cleaning validation at a large-scale biologics manufacturing site. This is a hands-on contract role where you'll drive validation for upcoming tech transfers and equipment qualifications in a cGMP environment — a strong fit if you want high-impact field work at an established, stable operation without relocating out of Southern California.

## About the Opportunity

You'll embed with an established validation team to support day-to-day validation activities and a pipeline of upcoming projects. Your focus will be equipment and cleaning validation — authoring and executing protocols, troubleshooting test results, and keeping documentation audit-ready as new tech transfers and equipment modifications come online. The work is central to keeping the site inspection-ready and its products flowing, so your judgment and technical rigor will be visible and valued.

## What You'll Do

- Author and execute validation protocols for equipment and systems, including cleaning validation
- Lead troubleshooting and data analysis for validation test results
- Support tech transfers, equipment modifications, and requalification activities
- Maintain precise, audit-ready validation records and documentation
- Ensure all deliverables align with applicable industry and regulatory standards
- Partner cross-functionally with engineering, manufacturing, and quality teams to keep projects on schedule

## What You Bring

Required:

- 10+ years of validation experience in a cGMP biopharmaceutical or life sciences environment
- Demonstrated depth in equipment validation and cleaning validation
- Strong protocol authoring and technical writing skills
- Proven technical problem-solving and data analysis capability

Preferred:

- Experience supporting tech transfers or equipment qualification/requalification programs
- Familiarity with automated process systems and control platforms (e.g., DeltaV)
- Track record collaborating across engineering, operations, and quality functions

Details

- Work arrangement: 100% onsite, fully site-based
- Employment type: Contract, 12 months with possibility of extension
- Compensation: $65–$75/hour, depending on experience
- Location: San Diego area

Ready to Apply?

If you're a validation professional who takes ownership of your deliverables and thrives on hands-on field execution, we'd like to hear from you. Even if you don't check every box, we encourage you to apply — strong equipment and cleaning validation experience is what matters most.
