Syncade MES Automation Support Engineer

Project Overview

The Client, is constructing a large-scale pharmaceutical manufacturing facility in Holly Springs, NC. The facility shall provide a world class Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (CDMO) with capabilities to provide end to end services for Pre-Clinical, Early & Late Phase Clinical, and Commercial Production. The site has significant room to expand and grow in the future. The initial Phase 1 includes two Drug Substance Manufacturing facilities (DSM 1 & DSM 2), a Central Utilities Building (CUB), Tank Farm, a Drug Product Filling and Finished Goods Packaging Facility (DPFG), Warehouse, and Lab/Admin building. These buildings shall be connected by a large, centralized corridor (Spine).

A DSM, containing a “4-pack” of 20,000L bioreactors, will have a single Production Line consisting of two seed trains and a single purification suite. The second DSM will be an identical copy of the first. The DSM buildings have process functions that interface with other buildings, such as the Central Utilities Building (CUB) and Warehouse.

The process and equipment design will heavily leverage the design of a current expansion project at the Denmark facility in Hillerød, DK. It is anticipated that the P&IDs for most areas will require minimal, if any, technical updates for the project. URSs for process equipment and PRSs defining process automation functionality will be provided by the expansion project as a basis for the design.
