The Role

Joining Moderna means advancing mRNA science to transform medicine. Work with exceptional global teams on a broad pipeline and build a career that makes a real difference for patients.

Moderna is strengthening its presence in Norwood, Massachusetts, a cornerstone of our manufacturing and operational excellence. Our Norwood campus translates mRNA science into scalable impact, supporting the global delivery of our medicines. We welcome talent ready to drive innovation and make a meaningful difference for patients worldwide.

This individual contributor role is a critical part of Moderna’s campus operations, serving as a central coordination point for the monitoring, operation, and support of utility and facility systems. You will use Building Management Systems and other facility monitoring technologies to identify, investigate, troubleshoot, and escalate events that could affect manufacturing, laboratory, and support environments. Combining technical judgment, real-time operational awareness, rigorous documentation, and cross-functional coordination, you will help protect the reliable performance of critical utilities while maintaining regulatory, safety, and operational compliance.

• Monitor and operate Global Command Center systems, including Building Management Systems (BMS) and other facility monitoring platforms supporting critical utility operations.
• Respond to, investigate, and coordinate alarm events using BMS, Insight, PI, MelRok, and other site monitoring applications.
• Analyze trends, historical data, and system performance information to perform initial troubleshooting and support timely issue resolution.
• Evaluate alarm relationships, equipment dependencies, and potential operational impacts to determine the appropriate response and escalation pathway.
• Coordinate cross-functional response activities during facility and utility events, providing stakeholders with accurate, timely, and technically relevant communication.
• Maintain detailed and accurate operational records, including shift pass-downs, alarm logs, call documentation, rounds documentation, and event reports.
• Perform routine operational activities spanning system monitoring, utility equipment investigations, preventive maintenance support, gas management activities, pH neutralization system operations, and facility rounds.
• Ensure activities comply with applicable GxP, GMP, GDP, environmental health and safety requirements, site procedures, and Moderna standards.
• Independently manage routine and moderately complex operational events while exercising sound technical and operational judgment.
• Apply working knowledge of site utility systems, critical infrastructure, equipment relationships, and associated operational risks to help maintain reliable facility performance.
• Serve as a technical resource for less experienced team members through knowledge sharing, coaching, and peer support, while remaining an individual contributor.
• Maintain strong data integrity and documentation practices in accordance with regulatory requirements and company standards.
• Support continuous improvement initiatives designed to strengthen operational efficiency, system reliability, and alarm management effectiveness.
• Look for opportunities to use digital capabilities, including Generative AI tools where appropriate, to accelerate learning, enhance technical investigation, improve knowledge access, and support more efficient operational decision-making while maintaining required data integrity and compliance controls.
• Perform additional duties as assigned.
