 Essential Functions

• The Radiopharmaceutical Production Technician II performs manufacturing activities in an aseptic environment, including properly donning required cleanroom garments and personal protective equipment in accordance with established safety protocols. The role also performs aseptic manipulations concurrent with environmental and personnel monitoring, executes batch record calculations and maintains accurate documentation in compliance with cGMP guidelines and SOPs, including the resolution of routine documentation discrepancies. Responsibilities are performed with increased independence, consistency, and technical proficiency compared to Technician I.
• Supports all technical aspects for radiopharmaceutical production readiness, including material kitting, solution preparation, line clearance, and manual cleaning of classified manufacturing areas used for sterile production.
• Provides day-to-day guidance and on-the-job training to Technician I employees on SOPs, GMP practices, and safety requirements, as assigned.
• Builds troubleshooting expertise by identifying and assisting in the resolution of equipment, process, and documentation issues, while documenting and escalating issues as appropriately defined.  
• Receives radioactive materials and prepares radioactive packages for distribution in accordance with applicable regulations and established SOPs.
• Prepares radioactive calibration standards to support equipment setup and operation.
• Performs peer checks or verifications as required by SOPs, ensuring accuracy and compliance with cGMP and safety requirements.
• Adheres to As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA) principles and NRC guidelines when handling radioactive materials.
• Assists with deviation investigations, change controls, and inspection readiness activities by providing documentation, data, and subject-matter input, under guidance of Production or Quality leadership.
• Provides input to production planning and scheduling activities as requested, based on hands-on production experience.

• Due to manufacturing time constraints and patient demand, overtime may be required to ensure process continuation or completion.

Education/Experience                                                                                                                         

• Bachelor's degree in a scientific discipline (e.g., Chemistry, Biochemistry, Biology, Pharmaceutical Sciences) preferred with increased emphasis on hands-on cGMP manufacturing experience and demonstrated technical proficiency.
• Typically requires 2-4 years of relevant experience in pharmaceutical, radiopharmaceutical, or other regulated cGMP manufacturing environments, or successful completion of Technician I level responsibilities at Perspective Therapeutics.
• Additional certifications in radiopharmaceuticals or GMP are a plus.
• Experience with MS Office Suite.
• Aseptic processing and technique experience is preferred.
