Careers

What I appreciate about Minaris is that the company not only cares deeply about the patients, but also their own employees. Minaris has supported me both personally and professionally. This has allowed me to follow an internal career path and develop from Technical Assistant to Quality Control Manager. Due to this, I was able to grow with my changing tasks.

At Minaris you can develop yourself at any time. I was initially a Cleanroom Assistant for a year and am now a Technical Assistant in manufacturing. In addition to the processes in the clean room, I am responsible for equipment and training new employees. I enjoy this a lot, and since I have had a good initial training myself, I know how important it is. What motivates me to continue developing at Minaris is that we manufacture and produce very modern therapeutics at a very high quality, so patients can live a better life.

We use modern technical capabilities and electronic laboratory systems at Minaris, which was at first an adjustment for me, although I already have a lot of professional experience. However, I have found that with challenges comes growth, and I am very satisfied with myself afterwards. This is why I also applied internally for the Senior Technical Assistant position. I like that Minaris has transparent rules for promotions and that everyone has a chance to be considered for future opportunities. When I go home at the end of the work day, it's important for me to know that I have done something meaningful and have been able to make a difference for real patients.

There is a strong sense of teamwork at the company - everyone is very helpful and supportive of one another. We are encouraged to ask questions so that no uncertainties remain, which makes the diverse tasks fun. The work is demanding, but not overwhelming. You do have to work very precisely, but the rules under GMP conditions provide security. I also like that my work is divided between the lab and the desk, which is just the right balance for me.

I like the fact that we make many decisions together as a team and can contribute our own ideas at any time. I find my job in hygiene monitoring exciting - there is always something new to discover. We bear responsibility for the quality of our products and ultimately for the patients. Two years ago, I switched from manufacturing to quality control, and I often fall back on my years of experience in the clean room. The fact that my internal switch was made possible and supported by my managers and the teams made me very happy.

My favorite thing about Minaris is being able to help the patients of today, while developing the technologies of tomorrow. Within our Process Development and Innovation department, we optimize manufacturing processes of cell and gene therapies. It is exciting to know that my scientific work is so close to the application of the therapy; it is not long before the processes we develop are used for products in clinical trials. We do not have a strict routine within our team, as there are always new problems and solutions to develop.
