Senior PET Engineer

The Philadelphia, PA manufacturing site is the home of FluMist, the world's only nasally administered influenza vaccine. The site consists of two geographic locations - a facility at Red Lion Road in NE Philadelphia has about 135 full-time employees and the Bensalem storage and distribution facility has about 6 employees. FluMist is aseptically filled and packaged at the Philadelphia location and is stored for final distribution at the Bensalem location. The facilities are about 8 miles apart and both are situated close to I-95, the city of Philadelphia, and Philadelphia International Airport. Our product is sold in multiple countries, including the US and UK. Operations continue year-round, with the FluMist production campaign being in the summer (typically April–August). Our site is highly collaborative, and we show our Philly pride in all we do. We work closely together, always striving to be better every day. We have a network of employee teams who deliver various employee engagement activities. From our famous Wingbowl, to inclusion events, site celebrations, community outreach, and health and wellness activities, there's something for everyone.
