Provide analytical support to the site.
Ensure QC Laboratories meet current Laboratory Practice (cGLP) requirements.
Maintain, update and issue chemical methods, specifications and SOP’s in compliance to pharmacopoeial and regulatory requirements.
Audit and review chemistry test results on a daily basis to ensure compliance with cGLP.
Assist with training of the technicians in areas of expertise and knowledge and in new methods, SOP’s and updates.
Ensure all quality documentation and records are complete and current.

First off, are you up to date with current good laboratory practices? If not, get researching. Have a look at the products they supply and are planning to introduce and see what kind of QC would be needed.

Do you have any experience of writing reports and SOPs? Looks like they are looking for someone who is going to be able to write specs and documentation.

Have you ever trained people? Even in other parts of your life not necessarily professional.
