The Attach & Train Programme is a structured talent development programme designed to build skilled talent for Singapore’s advanced biomedical manufacturing sector through practical, industry-based training that develops the technical skills and capabilities needed to support the industry’s current and future workforce needs. 

As a Pharmaceutical Technologist, your development will take place through a 15-month structured on-the-job training programme within our API Manufacturing team. You will work alongside experienced professionals to support the production of high-quality active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) under rigorous quality and compliance standards, helping to ensure a safe and reliable supply of medicines to patients. 

Due to the nature of the programme and its eligibility requirements, applicants must be Singapore Citizens or Permanent Residents. 

What You’ll Do  

• Operational and Technical 

  • Execute batch manufacturing instructions with flawless adherence to established procedures and process-critical steps. 

  • Independently perform key API processing unit operations (e.g., charging, vessel transfer, filtration, drying, pack-off) with minimal supervision.

  • Verify batch recipes and manufacturing documentation, provide input on DCS recipe design, and support digitalization and continuous improvement initiatives to drive manufacturing excellence. 
     

• Safety 

  • Maintain a safe working environment in line with EHS policies, participate in the site Emergency Response Team, and contribute to safety risk assessments and process hazard analyses. 
     

• Quality 

  • Ensure timely resolution of batch documentation errors and complete all records per GMP/GDP standards, keeping the plant audit-ready at all times. 

  • Communicate issues promptly to stakeholders and fulfill ongoing training requirements. 
     

• Schedule 

  • Deliver assigned tasks on time, proactively managing complexities to prevent delays, and escalate scheduling risks promptly to the Manufacturing Supervisor. 

What You’ll Learn 

• The opportunity to grow with AbbVie's only manufacturing site in Asia, located in Singapore, gaining exposure to cGMP manufacturing within Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) operations.
