Technician II, Production Technical Operations

About the role

Alcon is looking for a Technician II to operate manufacturing equipment that produces and packages contact lenses, and to run the autoclave used to sterilise them. The work takes place in a controlled, regulated cleanroom environment and follows Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and data integrity requirements.

Key responsibilities

• Maintain the quality standard of contact lens manufacturing and meet yield, equipment performance and uptime targets for the assigned lenses.
• Perform in-process checks such as visual lens inspection and operator packaging checks.
• Schedule contact lenses to be sterilised within 12 hours.
• Carry out simple machine setups such as ink changes, and support maintenance and troubleshooting of machines.
• Keep the production floor tidy with 5S and take part in Kaizen projects for continuous improvement.
• Ensure data integrity so that information is attributable, legible, contemporaneous, original and accurate.
• Work as part of a cross-functional team to meet production targets while complying with GMP, quality and safety requirements.

The role involves repeated physical activity during the shift: pushing rolling carts weighing 300 kg, inspecting lenses under bright light and magnification, performing GxP cleaning and waste disposal, transferring magazines between carts (about 100 to 200 per shift), and supporting lot changes which require squatting and standing for long periods (about 4 lot changes per shift).

Current Alcon employees or contingent workers should apply through the internal career site.
