Work in Civil

Build the sites where medicines are made. Civil engineering in a pharmaceutical environment means stricter regulation and far more documentation, on projects that run from an industrial hall to a fully qualified cleanroom.

Working on a pharmaceutical site

Civil engineering stays civil engineering. It is the environment around it that asks something extra.

Regulation and documentation

Far more has to be recorded and proven. That asks for a certain kind of person, with the patience to document as carefully as they build.

Cleanroom projects

Building a cleanroom is its own discipline. Earlier cleanroom experience is often required for those projects.

Civil and structural works too

Not every project sits in the regulated zone. A new hall outside it asks nothing extra, and purely civil work such as stairs or bridges asks no pharma background at all.

FAQs

Do I need pharmaceutical experience?

Usually not, and it depends on the project. A lot of this work is straightforward civil engineering, and experience from food or another industry counts fully.

How is this role different in the pharmaceutical industry?

Stricter regulation and much more documentation. The building is the same; the proof around it is not.

When does cleanroom experience matter?

On cleanroom projects it is often required. Outside the regulated zone it makes no difference.

Can I also work on Engineering projects?

Yes. The same roles exist in our Engineering competence center, for other industries. The vacancies are kept separate, so if you are open to both it is worth looking at the Engineering pages as well.

The same work outside pharma

Not every project runs on a pharmaceutical site. Our Engineering colleagues place the same profiles in infrastructure, industry and energy. Follow the link to see what is open there.
