Do you want to start your career in a global company where you can try new things and gain new experiences? Are you curious about pharmaceutical Manufacturing?

Then, you might be interested in this opportunity that Novo Nordisk Kalundborg is trying to combine in a brand-new Manufacturing Talent Programme.

This is the first program of its type! Its goal is to help you grow both horizontally (broadly) and vertically (deeply) inside the pharmaceutical API production industry. We're seeking a diverse background of applicants within Science, Engineering, IT & Automation and Robotics.

By joining the programme, you will have a unique opportunity to develop a skillset that prepares you to work and thrive within modern technology, advanced data analytics, and innovation for future pharmaceutical manufacturing. Plus, you will have the ability to create a network and build relationships. As a teaser, our API Manufacturing Hubs in Biotech City Kalundborg and Clayton, North Carolina, manufacture all of Novo Nordisk's well-known insulin products as well as cutting-edge revolutionary GLP-1 compounds. Our API Manufacturing Hub is a dynamic complex that includes numerous existing, ever-expanding buildings as well as several Future projects that use cutting-edge technology.

What is the Manufacturing Talent Program about?

In general, we aim to improve our existing production facilities by implementing process improvements, new technology, advanced data analytics, or a mix of the three.. To achieve this now and in the future, we need team players like you who are energetic, motivated, and innovative!

You will have the opportunity to rotate across our different manufacturing sites plus be exposed to specialised functions like how we develop our processes etc. The rotations will consist of 6-8 months for a total program length of 2 years.
