Nice to have:
Previous experience with Electronic Data Capture and/or Veeva
Experience working in ICH-GCP, cGMP and/or GLP settings.
We are also open to consider recent graduates from Life Sciences or any recent Lab Tech experience. The important thing for us is you are familiar with an environment that is:
Fast paced: where no deviations from the study protocol are allowed, and not meeting a timeline for even few minutes will create a quality issue.
Changing priorities constantly asking you to prioritize and adapt on the spot.
Teamwork and people skills are essential for the study to run smoothly
Attention to detail focused where accuracy in data collection and analysis is vital to be successful
Technology based. We collect our data directly into an electronic environment.

Responsibilities

ON A NORMAL DAY, YOU WILL:
Learn. And grow. No two days will be the same because you will be exposed to a wide variety of Therapeutic Indications and study types (ascending dose, first-in-human, food effect, drug to drug interactions, radiolabeled human AME, etc.)
The core of your work will be supporting Phase 1 clinical trials. All our teams in Drapers Yard live to answer one question: is the drug safe? Under this framework, you will:
Conduct sample processing and dispatch according to study specific instructions and to the highest possible quality, specially: blood, urine, fecal and vomit samples, and process and dispatch of lab´s safety samples
Deliver quality data and document results from processing on time, in strict accordance with relevant protocols, Lab Manuals, SOPs, and in compliance with ICH/GCP
Recognize deviations from expected results (as per protocol or Lab Manual) and follows up appropriately.
Assist with Study Set up (tubes, labels, right chemicals, etc)
Perform inventory of reagents and supplies to ensure uninterrupted operations
Handle hazardous materials, reagents and chemicals in a safe manner in accordance with laboratory policy and procedure
Maintenance of equipment: wash laboratory glassware and maintain general laboratory cleanliness
THERE IS ONE THING THAT ONLY FORTREA CAN OFFER:
You will work with the clinical trial participants next door! Under the same roof, we have: the clinic, a cutting-edge cGMP pharmacy and a state-of-the-art Lab.
Supporting these functions we also have all elements of the full Clinical Pharmacology Service including data management, project management, medical and scientific, regulatory affairs, statistics and biometrics all of which provides you with a hands on opportunity to develop your career within Fortrea.
You will witness firsthand the dosing and safety research as they are being investigated in real time. When the drug you worked with gets approved, you know you´ll touch many patient´s lives around the world.
