Why Patients Need You

Whether you are involved in the design and development of manufacturing processes for products or supporting maintenance and reliability, engineering is vital to making sure customers and patients have the medicines they need, when they need them. Working with our innovative engineering team, you'll help bring medicines to the world even faster by imagining what’s possible and taking action.

What You Will Achieve

Working with Pfizer’s dynamic engineering team, you will play a critical part in managing the maintenance and reliability engineering activities involving the redesign, maintenance, and repair of utilities systems, buildings, and production/non-production equipment.

As a Manager you will be responsible for providing technical and engineering expertise to maximize site equipment availability, reliability and reduce maintenance costs through system and process continuous improvement, i.e., LEAN principles and Continuous Improvement methodology.  Develop and implement strategies and methods that improve preventive maintenance processes and procedures resulting in enhanced equipment performance.  Technically support all aspects of maintenance operations while ensuring compliance with SOPs, cGMPs, safety procedures, quality standards, OSHA standards, other regulatory agency standards, good maintenance practices, and corporate initiatives. The successful candidate will be responsible for supporting the manufacturing processes and equipment at the Rochester site.

How You Will Achieve It:

A summary of responsibilities are following;

• Work closely with manufacturing personnel/other departments to resolve manufacturing issues and implement process improvements.

• Act as a liaison between manufacturing personnel and maintenance for corrective work and utilities support.

• Support implementation of process equipment upgrades and optimization.

• Capital projects for new bioprocess equipment purchase, installation and facility integration.

• Trouble shooting issues with utility support of process equipment.

• Coordination with other engineers, validation and automation colleagues in support of manufacturing operations.     

• Foster a Safety Culture

• Fully Accountable for all assigned area Infrastructure Assets.

• Plan and Forecast work required for assigned area Infrastructure Assets.

• Provide development opportunities, cross-functional training, mentoring and diversity within Site Engineering & Maintenance

• Provide good judgment and innovation by utilizing and adapting a broad knowledge of engineering principles and practices acquired through progressive experience.

• Remain current in requirements of the ever changing business environment inclusive of site/network plan of record, capital budgeting and total cost of ownership including reliability.

• Preparation of Capital Investment requirements to maintain assigned area’s Asset Reliability and Plan of Record.

• Actively participate in or lead Site & Corporate initiatives such as Engineering Without Borders, Communities of Practice, Limited

   Duration Teams, VPP, and Conformance Standards.

• Perform equipment evaluations to determine and justify new equipment, equipment replacement and incorporate into capital plan. Equipment replacement should be identified as part of a site or facility Master Plan.

• Review equipment for condition, performance, and maintenance history; assessing the liability caused by marginal equipment performance; assessing the cost and value of overhauling or upgrading to the cost of replacement; and creating justifications for capital replacements.

• Equipment evaluations should include risk assessments to determine if adequate redundancy exists to support operations in the event of catastrophic equipment failure.

• Recommends and presents capital equipment purchases to facilitate campus growth and to maximize equipment reliability.

• Provide technical expertise to site investigations around Equipment/Utility Issues. 

• Provide subject matter expertise for PM task-list development and revisions. Assists RCM analysis team to determine PM and part strategies. Based on expertise, history, and RCM analysis results. Perform PM reviews, PM modifications, CMMS data mining to investigate equipment trends, failure defense identification and planning, work process improvements, and setup of maintenance metrics.

• Programs and systems should be supported with procedures and training while
