CQV Engineer — Commissioning, Qualification & Validation

If you've spent years making sure the world's most complex pharma and biotech facilities are qualified, compliant, and ready to manufacture: we want to talk to you.

At EFOR, we don't just fill roles. We build careers. We put exceptional engineers in front of industry-leading clients, give them the tools to do their best work, and back them with a global network that most consulting firms can only dream of.

THIS IS NOT A REMOTE OFFER

Who we are

EFOR was founded in Lyon, France in 2013 with a simple mission: deliver world-class engineering and compliance consulting to the life sciences industry. Twelve years later, we're over 3,000 professionals strong, operating across 18 countries — and we're the #1 life sciences consulting firm in Europe.

This year, we made a major move in North America. Through the acquisitions of PDP, PharmEng, and PES, we've built a real US platform, and our target is clear: Becoming the global leader in life science consultancy.
