Decommissioning Lead

Location: Ottawa, Ontario

Work model: Full-time onsite

About the opportunity

Amaris Consulting is looking for a Decommissioning Lead to manage the retirement of oral solid dose manufacturing equipment at a Canadian pharmaceutical contract-manufacturing site.

The facility is transitioning away from solid dose production to focus on aseptic liquid filling. The cleared area will be rebuilt to support additional filling capacity.

This role includes two phases:

Process remediation.
Decommissioning execution.

Key responsibilities

Phase 1: Process remediation

Review and strengthen the existing decommissioning framework, including:
Validation Master Plan
SOPs
Change-control procedures
Risk assessments
Identify gaps against Health Canada and FDA GMP expectations.
Write or revise the decommissioning SOP and supporting templates.
Develop:
Decommissioning plans
Risk assessments
Isolation and disconnection checklists
Cleaning and decontamination-verification documents
Final decommissioning reports
Define a risk-based approach by equipment category, product contact, potency, and system complexity.
Build the decommissioning master plan, including:
Asset inventory
Sequencing
Dependencies
Resources
Milestones
Schedule
Present the revised process to QA and Validation for review and approval.

Phase 2: Decommissioning execution

Lead the decommissioning of oral solid dose manufacturing equipment, potentially including:
Dispensing booths
High-shear and fluid-bed granulators
Dryers
Mills
Blenders
Tablet presses
Encapsulators
Coating pans
Dedusters
Metal detectors
Primary packaging lines
Dust-collection and containment systems
Raise and manage asset-specific change controls.
Retire associated calibration, preventive-maintenance, and requalification plans in SAP, CMMS, or similar systems.
Oversee cleaning, decontamination, and verification of product-contact equipment.
Coordinate the retirement of computerized systems, including PLC, HMI, SCADA, and standalone data systems.
Ensure data archiving, records retention, and audit-trail preservation in accordance with data-integrity requirements.
Coordinate with Engineering, Maintenance, EHS, Facilities, and contractors on:
Lockout/tagout
Utility disconnection
Electrical systems
Compressed air
Vacuum
Dust extraction
Physical equipment removal
Document the final disposition of each asset, including transfer, resale, or scrap.
Update equipment lists, drawings, the Site Master File, and the Validation Master Plan.
Lead the Amaris decommissioning team and track hours against budget.
Report project progress, risks, deviations, and decisions to the client on a weekly basis.
Coordinate the decommissioning sequence with construction activities for the new aseptic filling capacity.

Required qualifications

Degree in Chemical, Mechanical, Process Engineering, Pharmaceutical Sciences, or a related discipline.
At least 8 years of experience in pharmaceutical manufacturing, engineering, validation, CQV, or GMP operations.
Hands-on experience with oral solid dose processes and equipment, from granulation through packaging.
At least one end-to-end decommissioning project involving equipment retirement, line shutdown, site exit, or facility repurposing.
Strong understanding of the CQV lifecycle, including equipment and system retirement.
Working knowledge of:
ASTM E2500
ISPE Commissioning and Qualification guidance
GAMP 5
Health Canada GMP GUI-0001
FDA 21 CFR Parts 210 and 211
FDA 21 CFR Part 11
Experience writing and approving:
SOPs
Protocols
Risk assessments
Change controls
Decommissioning plans
Final reports
Knowledge of cleaning validation, cross-contamination control, potent compounds, and data integrity.
Track record of leading a small team against a fixed schedule and budget.
Eligible to work in Canada.
Available to work full-time onsite in Ottawa.

Nice-to-have qualifications

Experience in a CMO or CDMO environment.
Experience decommissioning containment equipment used for potent compounds.
Experience supporting site conversions to sterile or aseptic manufacturing.
Familiarity with EU GMP Annex 1.
Experience with SAP PM, CMMS, Kneat, or other paperless validation systems.
PMP or equivalent project-management certification.

Ideal candidate

The ideal candidate is comfortable starting independently at a new site, building trust with client stakeholders, and working directly with operators, Maintenance, Engineering, QA, Validation, EHS, Facilities, and contractors.

You should be pragmatic, highly organized, comfortable on the shop floor, and able to protect compliance while maintaining a firm project deadline.

The client will participate in the selection process, so strong communication, presentation, and stakeholder-management skills are essential.
