Job title: Project Controller, EVF

Location: Singapore

Hiring Manager: Deputy Director Projects Control & GP

About the job:

We deliver 4.3 billion healthcare solutions to people every year, thanks to the flawless planning and meticulous eye for detail of our Manufacturing & Supply teams. With your talent and ambition, we can do even more to protect people from infectious diseases and bring hope to patients and their families.

Sanofi has added two new Modulus Facilities to our global industrial footprint. These production units (Modulus) represent the future of manufacturing. They allow us to increase our capacities while making production more flexible and respectful of the environment.

Fully digitalized, our Modulus Facilities (will enable more responsive and flexible manufacturing across multiple vaccine and biological platforms including mRNA, while minimize our impact to the environment. Our facilities will help improve people’s lives by giving them faster access to more treatments.
