Position Overview
The Specialist — QC at Julphar Ras al-Khaimah is a comprehensive, hands-on pharmaceutical quality control laboratory role responsible for conducting chemical and physical analysis of raw materials, semi-finished products, finished products, and stability samples in strict compliance with GMP, GLP, and applicable pharmacopoeial standards. You will operate HPLC, GC, UV-Vis, dissolution, and other analytical instruments; record and enter all analytical data in SAP; manage CAPA, AMS, and change control actions in the Ample Logic quality management system; follow and enforce ALCOA+ data integrity and good documentation practices; support internal and external audits; assist in troubleshooting; and contribute to maintaining the highest standards of environmental health, safety, and quality excellence across Julphar’s QC laboratory operations.
Why This Role Matters: At Julphar, the QC Specialist is the scientific guardian of product quality — the professional whose analytical results, documentation accuracy, and regulatory compliance determine whether every batch of pharmaceutical product released from the Ras al-Khaimah facility truly meets the quality, safety, and efficacy standards that UAE patients, healthcare professionals, and regulatory authorities depend on. In pharmaceutical manufacturing, a QC Specialist who maintains rigorous data integrity, follows SOPs without compromise, and applies ALCOA+ principles consistently is not just doing their job — they are protecting lives.
Key Responsibilities
Chemical & Physical Analysis — Raw Materials, Semi-Finished & Finished Products
- Carry out chemical and physical analysis of semi-finished products, raw materials, and stability samples — applying HPLC, GC, UV-Vis spectrophotometry, dissolution testing, and other analytical techniques as specified in validated analytical methods and applicable pharmacopoeial standards (USP, EP, BP)
- Ensure that finished products adhere to all specifications and regulatory requirements before batch release — performing all required testing activities, reviewing results against acceptance criteria, and escalating any out-of-specification findings immediately and in accordance with OOS investigation procedures
- Ensure all analysis is performed correctly and in full compliance with applicable SOPs — following every procedural step as documented, without deviation or shortcut, and raising change control or deviation notifications whenever an unexpected circumstance requires departure from approved procedures
QC Equipment Operation & Maintenance
- Operate all QC laboratory instruments assigned to the relevant testing section — including HPLC systems, gas chromatographs, UV-Vis spectrophotometers, dissolution apparatus, and other analytical equipment — following all instrument operation procedures, qualification requirements, and preventive maintenance schedules
- Ensure all QC instruments are operating within calibration and qualification status before use — verifying instrument system suitability results, logging instrument use in equipment logbooks, and reporting any instrument malfunction, calibration failure, or performance deviation to the supervisor immediately
Data Recording, SAP Entry & ALCOA+ Data Integrity
- Record all analytical working data accurately and completely in laboratory notebooks, worksheets, and instrument data systems — applying ALCOA+ data integrity principles (Attributable, Legible, Contemporaneous, Original, Accurate, plus Complete, Consistent, Enduring, Available) at every stage of data generation, recording, and review
- Enter all analytical data and testing results into the SAP system accurately and in a timely manner — ensuring that SAP records are current, correct, and aligned with the underlying raw data in laboratory notebooks and instrument printouts at all times
- Follow and enforce good documentation practices (GDP) throughout all laboratory activities — including contemporaneous recording, correction procedures, signature and date requirements, and the prohibition of retroactive data entry or unauthorized data amendments
Quality Management System — CAPA, AMS & Change Control
- Handle quality management system actions including CAPAs (Corrective and Preventive Actions), AMS notifications, and Change Controls using the Ample Logic quality management system — ensuring all QMS actions assigned to the QC department are addressed, documented, and closed within agreed timelines
- Support the investigation of deviations, OOS results, and laboratory incidents — contributing to root-cause analysis, implementing corrective actions in the QC laboratory, and verifying the effectiveness of preventive measures after corrective action closure
Audit Support — Internal & External
- Actively involve and support all internal and external audits and regulatory inspections relevant to the QC laboratory — preparing audit documentation, demonstrating analytical procedures, responding to auditor queries accurately, and ensuring all audit observations assigned to QC are closed on time and with full documentation
GMP, GLP, Safety & Environmental Compliance
- Ensure and follow all GLP, GMP, safety procedures, and maintain hygienic conditions in the QC laboratory at all times — demonstrating personal commitment to the highest standards of laboratory cleanliness, safety compliance, and quality culture
- Execute daily QC operations in full compliance with EMS (Environmental Management System) and EHS (Environmental Health and Safety) standards — using appropriate PPE, following safe chemical handling practices, identifying and reducing environmental risks, and contributing to EHS improvement initiatives and audits
Qualifications & Requirements
Educational Requirements
- Bachelor’s Degree in Pharmacy, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Chemistry, or a related science discipline — providing the scientific foundation required for accurate, regulation-compliant pharmaceutical QC analytical work
Experience Requirements
- Minimum 3–6 years of experience in pharmaceutical QC laboratory work — with direct hands-on experience in chemical and physical analysis, analytical instrument operation, GMP-compliant documentation, and quality management system activities in a regulated pharmaceutical manufacturing environment
Technical Competencies
- Proficiency in HPLC, GC, UV-Vis spectrophotometry, dissolution testing, and other pharmaceutical analytical techniques — with demonstrated ability to operate these instruments, troubleshoot common performance issues, and generate reliable, defensible analytical data
- Deep knowledge of GMP, GLP, and regulatory guidelines (USP, EP, BP) — applied consistently in daily laboratory practice, documentation habits, and quality system interactions
- Strong understanding of data integrity principles and ALCOA+ compliance — with a personal commitment to accurate, contemporaneous, and complete data recording that supports regulatory confidence in QC testing data
- Skilled in analytical method validation and transfer — able to plan, execute, document, and evaluate method validation and transfer studies in a regulated pharmaceutical laboratory context
- Experience in dissolution testing, assay analysis, and related pharmaceutical dosage form quality testing
- Proficiency with SAP for QC data entry and laboratory management — and comfort using Ample Logic or equivalent electronic quality management systems for CAPA, deviation, and change control management
