Today, Lonza is a global leader in life sciences operating across three continents. While we work in science, there’s no magic formula to how we do it.

Ensuring the timely, high-quality, and cost-optimal production of assigned products within the new facility
Delivering outstanding personnel management, ensuring effective coaching and development of employees in line with the Lonza Vision, culture, and competencies. This includes resource planning (deploying the corresponding project team by assessing project requirements and aligning team members' skills and availability); overseeing qualification processes; providing incentives and managing salaries; arranging training opportunities; fostering professional development, and facilitating career progression.
Ensuring and further developing operational excellence initiatives through regular performance and result checks, such as weekly reports, dashboard, hoshin board and other reports
Supporting the continuous optimization of assigned projects to enhance efficiency, quality, and cost-effectiveness
