Job Description

The Attach & Train Programme is a structured talent development programme designed to build skilled talent for Singapore’s advanced biomedical manufacturing sector through practical, industry-based training that develops the technical skills and capabilities needed to support the industry’s current and future workforce needs. 

As a Pharmaceutical Technologist, your development will take place through a 15-month structured on-the-job training programme within our API Manufacturing team. You will work alongside experienced professionals to support the production of high-quality active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) under rigorous quality and compliance standards, helping to ensure a safe and reliable supply of medicines to patients. 

Due to the nature of the programme and its eligibility requirements, applicants must be Singapore Citizens or Permanent Residents. 

What You’ll Do  

  • Operational and Technical 

    • Execute batch manufacturing instructions with flawless adherence to established procedures and process-critical steps. 

    • Independently perform key API processing unit operations (e.g., charging, vessel transfer, filtration, drying, pack-off) with minimal supervision.

    • Verify batch recipes and manufacturing documentation, provide input on DCS recipe design, and support digitalization and continuous improvement initiatives to drive manufacturing excellence. 
       

  • Safety 

    • Maintain a safe working environment in line with EHS policies, participate in the site Emergency Response Team, and contribute to safety risk assessments and process hazard analyses. 
       

  • Quality 

    • Ensure timely resolution of batch documentation errors and complete all records per GMP/GDP standards, keeping the plant audit-ready at all times. 

    • Communicate issues promptly to stakeholders and fulfill ongoing training requirements. 
       

  • Schedule 

    • Deliver assigned tasks on time, proactively managing complexities to prevent delays, and escalate scheduling risks promptly to the Manufacturing Supervisor. 

 

What You’ll Learn 

  • The opportunity to grow with AbbVie's only manufacturing site in Asia, located in Singapore, gaining exposure to cGMP manufacturing within Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) operations. 

  • Hands-on technical proficiency in key API unit operations — including solid and liquid charging, vessel transfer, filtration, drying and pack-off — while operating DeltaV and POMS/MES systems. 

  • Develop a strong foundation in batch documentation, quality/safety compliance (GMP/GDP, PHA) and continuous improvement. 



  • Diploma or Bachelor’s Degree in Chemical Engineering, Pharmaceutical Science, or an equivalent technical-related discipline. Fresh graduates are welcome to apply. 

  • Exposure to DeltaV distributed control systems and MES through internships, projects or prior experience would be an advantage.  

  • Excellent interpersonal skills and communication skills. 

  • Able to work comfortably in 12-hour rotating shift (Day/Night).
