We manufacture OTC topical and personal-care formulations — creams, gels, lotions, ointments — primarily for US and international markets, out of our plant near Bavla. Our microbiology lab is where product safety gets proven before anything ships.

The role
You'll run microbiological testing, environmental monitoring, and micro QC across raw materials, packaging, water, in-process, and finished product — keeping everything compliant with GMP and our own specifications. Depending on your experience, that ranges from executing routine testing end-to-end to verifying results, leading investigations, and standing behind the micro function in front of auditors. We'll match the level to what you bring.

What you'll do
Perform microbial limit testing — Total Plate Count, Yeast & Mould Count, and pathogen testing — on raw materials, bulk, finished product, and water samples per approved SOPs
Carry testing end-to-end: sampling, media preparation, incubation, observation, and reporting, within committed timelines
Prepare culture media, run growth promotion and media validation tests,



and maintain microbiological cultures
Run routine environmental monitoring across production and controlled areas — air sampling, surface and personnel monitoring — and flag contamination risks immediately
Perform microbiological analysis of purified/process water and act on adverse trends
Maintain worksheets, logbooks, and registers to full GMP/GLP and data-integrity standards, and carry the function through internal, customer, and regulatory audits
Support (and, at senior level, lead) investigations into micro failures, deviations, and OOS results — root cause analysis, CAPA, and follow-through to closure
Coordinate with QA, Production, and other departments to resolve quality issues

Who fits
B.Sc. / M.Sc. in Microbiology or equivalent
1–8 years in a microbiology lab within Cosmetics, Pharma, OTC, FMCG, or related manufacturing — we'll place you at the right level
