I and C Supervisor – Medical Laboratory Facility

The Junior I&C Supervisor is responsible for assisting in the supervision of instrumentation and control systems within a medical laboratory setting. This role supports the calibration, maintenance, and operational readiness of lab instrumentation used for environmental monitoring, automation, and utility control. The position provides technical guidance to technicians, ensures compliance with laboratory regulations, and supports operational continuity through proactive monitoring and minor project execution.

Key Responsibilities:

• Assist in the daily oversight of instrumentation and control (I&C) systems, including:

  • Temperature and humidity sensors

  • Differential pressure monitoring

  • pH, conductivity, and flow instruments

  • Alarm and safety interlock systems

  • BMS/SCADA-connected lab control panels

• Support I&C technicians with troubleshooting, documentation, and calibration tasks.

• Monitor performance of automated systems used in medical lab utilities (e.g., HVAC, compressed air, water systems).

• Maintain logs, SOPs, calibration records, and documentation in compliance with GMP/GLP and CAP/CLIA regulations.

• Coordinate small-scale instrumentation installations and equipment upgrades.

• Respond to instrumentation-related alarms and assist with root cause analysis.

• Work with senior supervisors to support audit readiness and preventive maintenance schedules.

• Enforce lab safety and biosafety protocols related to instrumentation.

Key Focus Areas:

1. Instrumentation Maintenance & Support

   • Ensure environmental and process control instruments function correctly for clinical lab conditions (e.g., -20°C storage, clean zones).

2. Compliance & Documentation

   • Maintain calibration and control system documentation that meets regulatory expectations for data integrity and traceability.

3. Team Coordination & Hands-on Supervision

   • Provide day-to-day support and direction to a small team of I&C technicians; assist in shift planning and task assignment.

4. System Monitoring & Response

   • Use BMS/SCADA systems to track lab equipment conditions and ensure prompt action on any deviations.

5. Continuous Improvement

   • Identify and suggest improvements in control system reliability, alarm handling, and calibration practices.

Qualifications:

• Education:

  • Diploma or Bachelor's Degree in Instrumentation, Electronics, Biomedical, or Mechatronics Engineering

• Experience:

  • 2–4 years of relevant I&C experience in clinical labs, healthcare, biotech, or life sciences manufacturing environments

• Certifications (Preferred):

  • Basic GMP/GLP Training

  • OSHA Lab Safety Certification

  • BMS/SCADA platform familiarity (e.g., Honeywell, Siemens)

Technical Skills:

• Exposure to:

  • Environmental monitoring instruments

  • Lab utility automation systems

  • PLC, BMS, SCADA platforms

  • Digital calibration tools and CMMS systems
