Qualification-Validation Engineer

Qualification/Validation Engineer — Packaging Equipment | Pharmaceutical

Walloon Brabant, Belgium

Introduction

Nalys is a Belgian recruitment and consultancy firm specialised in the pharmaceutical, biotech and life sciences industries. With deep expertise across quality, regulatory affairs, manufacturing, engineering and clinical development, we support both large international groups and innovative scale-ups in building the teams that drive their projects forward. When we place a professional, we stay by their side — before, during and after the mission.

Today, we're looking for an experienced Qualification/Validation Engineer to provide operational support on packaging equipment qualifications within a pharmaceutical manufacturing environment in the Brabant wallon area.

Your Responsibilities

As the new QA/Val Engineer, you will:

• Execute qualification test protocols and test sheets on packaging equipment, as defined by the internal engineering team
• Maintain a strong on-site presence in the production and shop floor environment
• Collaborate closely with internal qualification engineers acting as project leads
• Adapt to shifting daily priorities with flexibility and a problem-solving mindset
• Provide occasional support for report drafting when required.

Your Profile

• You have proven experience in qualification and/or validation, with a focus on packaging equipment — essential to be operational from day one
• You have minimum 3 years of qualification experience in an industrial or pharmaceutical setting
• You are autonomous, hands-on and execution-focused — you get things done without needing constant guidance
• You feel comfortable with on-site work and a dynamic, ever-changing daily schedule
• French is mandatory — daily interactions on the shop floor require it
• GMP environment experience is a strong asset
• Exposure to CSV (Computer System Validation) or other qualification types is a plus.

What we offer

• A human‑scaled consulting company focused on expertise, partnership, and career development
• Long‑term assignments with leading pharmaceutical players
• Continuous learning through technical coaching, training, and knowledge sharing
• A supportive culture that values autonomy, trust, and impact
• An attractive salary package with additional benefits.
