About Tjoapack
Tjoapack is a global contract packaging organization (CPO) specializing in primary and secondary pharmaceutical packaging and supply chain management. With over 30 years of experience, we process millions of medicine packages every year for customers in more than 45 countries across all continents.
Since expanding to Clinton, TN in 2021, our mission has remained clear: shape the future of the pharmaceutical supply chain to ensure medicines are safe, available, traceable, and affordable—with the patient at the center of everything we do.
The Role
As a Validation Engineer, you will play a central role in developing, improving, and validating the documentation, equipment, and processes used across Tjoapack’s packaging operations. Your work directly supports FDA-compliant production, equipment qualification, packaging specification development, and successful implementation of changes across the business.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys problem-solving, thrives in a regulated and technical environment, and wants to help shape how medicines move safely through the supply chain.
A Day in the Life đź’Š
No two days in Technical Services are the same. You might begin your morning reviewing packaging component specifications, then shift into drafting validation documents such as IQ/OQ/PQ protocols for new equipment on the floor. Throughout the day, you’re collaborating across departments—Production, Quality, Customer Support, and Project Management—to clarify requirements, evaluate component changes, or support engineering studies that enable improvements.
You’ll work closely with suppliers to understand component capabilities and with customers to align packaging specifications with regulatory and market expectations. You may step onto the floor to observe machinery, support qualification execution, or assess how changes affect process flow. By the end of the day, you’ve advanced key projects, solved technical challenges, and played a critical role in ensuring our packaging operations run accurately, compliantly, and efficiently.

🧪 Validation & Qualification
Develop and support execution of FAT, SAT, IQ, OQ, and PQ documentation.

High attention to detail and strong organizational skills.
