Robotics Project Engineer – Ireland, Remote – Initial 12-Month Contract – Life Sciences

Located in Ireland, our global pharmaceutical client is seeking a Robotics Project Engineer to support their state‑of‑the‑art manufacturing facility. The company focuses on investing in research and development to drive scientific innovation and deliver life‑changing medicines. With project worldwide and continued growth across their network, this is an excellent opportunity to support a leading organisation shaping the future of healthcare.

What you’ll deliver:

• Co-lead the execution of robotics projects across global sites and new-build programs and external system integrators from concept through implementation.
• Collaborate with global, site, and cross-functional new-build teams to define operational needs, project scope, user requirements, success criteria, and deliverables, often while facility designs, processes, and ownership models are still evolving.
• Build alignment across global functions, new-build teams, future site stakeholders, and vendors.
• Navigate complex governance and decision processes, resolve ownership gaps and roadblocks, and maintain robotics project momentum while balancing competing priorities and accelerated site-delivery timelines.
• Drive timely input and alignment from global and cross-functional stakeholders to define, quantify, and articulate the business value of robotics opportunities.

Experience required:

• Experience working in regulated industries (such as Pharma, biotechnology, or medical devices) is an advantage, particularly familiarity with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP), ISO, or FDA requirements, and validation processes (IQ/OQ/PQ).
• Competence in handling project documentation, risk assessments, and compliance documentation when required.
• Proven track record of leading robotics or automation projects in manufacturing, logistics, or laboratory environments, including translating operational needs into requirements, managing external delivery partners, and guiding solutions through implementation and startup.
