- Inventory Control and Quality Assurance:
- Conduct inventory counts for both standard and cold chain products, ensuring real-time updates in the Warehouse Management System (WMS).
- Perform regular quality checks to ensure product integrity, particularly for cold chain products that require specific environmental conditions.
- Report any deviations, non-conformances, or issues related to product integrity or storage conditions.
- Ensure timely and accurate picking, packing, and dispatch of both standard and cold chain orders while adhering to GDP guidelines.
- Verify batch numbers, expiry dates, and packaging integrity, particularly for cold chain shipments that may require specialized packaging.
- Follow all health and safety protocols, particularly for handling temperature-sensitive pharmaceutical products.
- Ensure proper procedures are followed for hazardous or delicate products stored in cold chambers.
- Warehouse Operations and Team Coordination:
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure smooth warehouse operations, particularly during the handling and distribution of cold chain products.
- Help train team members on GDP standards and cold chain handling practices to maintain high-quality operational standards.
- Prepare daily, weekly, and monthly reports on warehouse operations, stock levels, temperature logs, and compliance status, with a focus on cold chain product management.
- Communicate any cold chain-specific challenges or non-compliance issues to management for prompt resolution.
- Key Skills and Qualifications:
- Bachelor's degree in Pharmacy (B.Pharm) or equivalent.
- Strong understanding of GDP (Good Distribution Practice) guidelines and pharmaceutical regulatory requirements, especially for cold chain products.
- 2-3 years of experience in pharmaceutical warehouse management or a related field, with cold chain handling experience.
