Deviation Writer
đź“ŤBrabant wallon, Belgium
Introduction
Nalys is a Belgian recruitment and consultancy firm specialised in the pharmaceutical, biotech and life sciences industries. With deep expertise across quality, manufacturing and engineering 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 Deviation Writer to provide focused, autonomous support within a biologics production environment in the Brabant wallon area. This is a 100% deviation management role — created specifically to absorb a significant backlog of DSP production deviations. You'll be operational from day one, with real impact and full ownership of your scope.
Your Responsibilities
As the new Deviations Writer, you will will :
* Own end-to-end management of DSP production deviations — from initial detection through to closure in the Quality System
* Conduct field investigations directly in production areas — interviewing technicians, observing equipment and understanding processes in context
* Write deviations of all types — minor, major and clustered — with precision, structure and full GMP compliance
* Participate actively in root cause analyses and defend your technical conclusions with QA
* Coordinate closely with Production, QA, QA Validation, MSAT/QAMSAT and Maintenance & Technical Services
* Maintain a target pace of approximately 5 deviations closed per week, across a mixed minor/major portfolio
* Proactively gather information without waiting to be guided — autonomy is essential from the start.
Your Profile
* You have a first proven experience in production deviation writing — QC-only profiles are not suitable for this role
* You have background in industrial-scale manufacturing environments, ideally in biologics or biopharma
* DSP knowledge or experience is a strong asset
* You feel comfortable to act autonomously — limited coaching will be available; you must be able to drive your own workload
* You also feel comfortable working in production areas and on the shop floor, able to interact with, challenge and convince both QA and Production stakeholders
* Fluent French is mandatory — Intermediate English required for reading documentation, occasional writing and stakeholder interactions
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.
