This contract role supports inspection and packaging of injectable medicines at Takeda’s Osaka Plant. Responsibilities typically include visual inspection of products, packaging and labeling, operating or monitoring production equipment, recording results, following standard operating procedures, and maintaining a clean, safe manufacturing environment. Candidates are expected to work carefully and consistently under Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) requirements, follow Japanese workplace and safety procedures, and complete accurate documentation. Experience in pharmaceutical, food, medical-device, or other regulated manufacturing is helpful but may not be essential.

Training may be provided, but strict compliance and a quality-focused attitude are essential.

Japan offers employment opportunities in pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, technology, healthcare, engineering, education, tourism, and logistics. Osaka is a major urban center with strong transport links, diverse industries, relatively manageable living costs, and access to Kansai International Airport.
