Frequently asked questions
Do I need a specific degree for QC?
A laboratory degree in chemistry, biology, pharmacy or a related field is the norm. For microbiology roles a microbiology or biomedical background is usually required. Hands-on instrument experience matters more than the exact title.
What is the difference between QC and QA?
QC tests the product and the environment; QA decides what the results mean for release. The most common career move in GMP is from QC to QA after two to three years of OOS and method-validation exposure.
Is shift work common in QC?
At production sites with continuous operations, yes: release and environmental monitoring often run in shifts. Contract labs and stability programmes are usually day work. We state the pattern on every vacancy.
What GMP roles are common in Bilthoven?
QC microbiology and analytical, sterile QA, biologics validation and MSAT. Vaccine manufacturing dominates.
Do QC jobs in Bilthoven require Dutch?
Often not. The campus is international and many QC and QA vacancies are explicitly English-speaking.
