Scale Up - 1st Shift
About The Position
The Scale Up weighs and measures major and minor ingredients for production runs after raw materials are formally received.

The role stages major and minor ingredients, verifies allocations and kit setups, communicates during shift handovers, and follows safety programs and current Good Manufacturing Practices.
