In doing this also ensuring the projects' alignment to AstraZeneca's Safety, Health and Environment (SHE) requirements.



In our projects, you'll evaluate the technical competence of Design Contractors and the proposed external team members qualifications and engage with the Project Manager in the selection. The PTM then agree the technical resource requirements with the Project Manager. Further, you secure the services of Subject Matter Experts, and confirm the support from global technical functions or local site technical support. Thereafter you will, together with the SMEs, develop an overview of the potential technical options. The PTM then leads the clarification of the options, to development and deliver a concept that meets the business's time and cost constraints and the required performance. Other parts of the role:

*

Work multi-functionally across the project to create a complete, integrated, compliant process design, influencing partners as needed and highlighting any impact of decisions on budget and schedule

*

Post-project completion ensure that the technical learning is collected and documented
*

Collaboration is how we do things, though the role is to be based in Sweden you will still be an active piece in our international team. Your expertise may be needed for technical assessments at other facilities, in order to do so you need to be able to travel internationally accordingly.



Depending on your experience this could be either an E or an F-level role.
