Technician

About the role

The Facilities Technician executes day-to-day handyman tasks and provides critical floor-level supervision for third-party vendors within a regulated Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) pharmaceutical facility. During the current greenfield site handover period, this role acts as the eyes and ears on the ground, actively identifying, recording, and reporting snag list items to the Assistant Facilities Manager (AFM). Additionally, the technician serves as a core safety compliance enforcer, ensuring all on-site vendors complete mandatory safety briefings before starting work.

Key responsibilities

• Enforce safety compliance by ensuring that all incoming vendors and contractors conduct their mandatory Toolbox Meetings prior to commencing any work on the floor
• Verify that vendor Toolbox sheets are signed by all workers, collect a physical or digital copy immediately, and systematically file them for audit readiness

• Perform comprehensive site inspections during the greenfield handover period to catch defects, structural issues, or installation flaws
• Maintain a meticulous, clear, and accurate snag list tracker, capturing details of all issues across the manufacturing, cleanroom, and office spaces
• Provide real-time reporting on the status of the snag list to the AFM, ensuring critical operational hurdles are flagged early
• Act as the main site host and point of contact for all external service providers, contractors, and specialized equipment vendors
• Supervise vendor performance during preventive or corrective maintenance tasks to ensure the work is completed cleanly and satisfactorily
• Carry out routine, ad-hoc handyman repairs, including minor plumbing, basic electrical troubleshooting, patch painting, door hardware fixes, and adjustments to floor fixtures
• Conduct daily inspections of facility infrastructure—specifically tracking crucial site integrity items like door seals, drain meshing, and general asset wear and tear
