Production Management (30%): Supervise the manufacturing floor, manage machine operators, ensure GMP compliance (ISO 22716), and maintain production schedules.

Required Qualifications:

Education: B.Sc / M.Sc in Chemistry, Cosmetic Technology, or B.Pharm.

Experience: Minimum 5 years in Cosmetic Manufacturing.
