A Japan-based company, our goal is to translate science into smiles by delivering therapies where no adequate treatments currently exist, working from drug discovery to product development and commercialization. In North America, we are headquartered in Princeton, NJ, with offices in California, North Carolina, and Mississauga, Ontario.

You will lead all aspects of the facility's maintenance operations, including planning, scheduling, budgeting, and execution of preventive and corrective maintenance activities, as well as, coordinating shutdown activities.
