HVAC Engineer – Join our Utility Team in Søborg 

Do you want to be part of the technical backbone that enables life-changing biologic medicines? Are you motivated by ownership, problem-solving, and ensuring reliable GMP-critical systems? If so, you could be our new HVAC Engineer in Søborg, where you will help secure compliant and robust utility systems for global patients. 

The Plant Engineering Department 

The Utility team is part of Plant Engineering, which ensures reliable manufacturing maintenance, utility operations, asset management, and compliance across the Copenhagen site. With a strong service mindset, we support both production facilities. 

Our team of 12 engineers and technicians operates and maintains black and clean utilities such as cleanroom HVAC systems, purified water, clean steam, compressed air, technical gases, and cooling systems. We combine deep expertise with fresh perspectives and a strong sense of ownership for the utilities that keep production running safely and stably. 

Work Schedule & Flexibility 

Our facilities operate around the clock to support GMP production. Most work is carried out during regular business hours, but occasional evening or weekend work may be required to ensure uninterrupted operations. 

The HVAC Engineer Role 

As HVAC Engineer, you will take ownership of our GMP-critical HVAC systems together with two skilled technicians. While the technicians execute scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, your role will focus on: 

  • Ensuring stable, compliant, and efficient operation of HVAC systems across production, labs, and warehouses. 

  • Maintaining and improving technical documentation (SOPs, P&IDs, maintenance plans) in line with GMP standards. 

  • Driving risk management, root cause analysis, and implementation of corrective and preventive actions. 

  • Supporting CAPEX and OPEX projects with operational input to ensure smooth handover to operations. 

  • Representing utilities during audits and inspections with resilient, fact-based responses. 

  • Acting as the go-to HVAC specialist for stakeholders across the site. 

Focus & Development Path 
Initially, your primary responsibility will be HVAC. As you build capabilities and experience, your role will expand to include black and clean utilities, enabling you to contribute across the entire Utility team.

Must have:

As a person, you are: 

  • Analytical, structured, and proactive. 

  • Reliable and accountable, with strong ownership. 

  • Motivated to create standards where none exist. 

  • Collaborative and clear in your communication across technical and administrative stakeholders.
