Pharmaceutical and mission critical engineering

Engineering and validation for pharmaceutical and mission critical facilities

Our core is pharmaceutical and biotechnology manufacturing: operational readiness, commissioning and qualification, validation and process engineering. We apply the same discipline to data centres, critical infrastructure and government programmes. A director leads every engagement and stays involved through to handover.

About Peritus Consulting Partners

Pharmaceutical engineering at our core

Peritus Consulting Partners is a Sydney based engineering consultancy. Pharmaceutical and biotechnology manufacturing is our core. We also deliver commissioning and programme work for data centres, critical infrastructure and government. We take responsibility for a defined scope of work, a technical package or a full programme. We deliver it under our own technical direction.

Our directors each bring more than 20 years of experience across pharmaceutical manufacturing, engineering and managed services. They lead every engagement personally, supported by engineers who have built, started and validated facilities.

How we engage

Four ways to engage us

How engagements work

Statement of Work

A defined scope with deliverables, acceptance criteria and a fixed price or capped budget. Peritus directs the work and carries delivery risk.

Managed delivery team

A team of engineers assembled, mobilised and governed by Peritus, working as an extension of your engineering, quality and validation functions.

Embedded specialists

Senior engineers placed into your programme under Peritus technical oversight, with a clear path to move into managed delivery.

Specialist advisory

Senior practitioners engaged for design reviews, gap assessments, inspection readiness and decisions that need experienced technical judgement.

How an engagement runs

  1. Scope

    We agree the objectives, deliverables, acceptance criteria and risks with your project lead. We also confirm the commercial model.

  2. Mobilise

    We assemble the team, complete site inductions and set up governance, reporting and document control.

  3. Deliver

    We execute against the plan with milestone tracking, a live risk register and weekly reporting to your project lead.

  4. Assure

    We review every deliverable against your quality system and the agreed acceptance criteria before it is submitted.

  5. Transition

    We hand over documentation, knowledge and trained people so your site runs the system without us.

Case studies

Outcomes from engagements led by our directors

All case studies

Operational readiness, Biopharmaceuticals

Large scale fill finish facility start up

A leading biopharmaceutical manufacturer needed full operational readiness support for a new aseptic vial filling line, including isolator integration, automation qualification and preparation for Therapeutic Goods Administration and US FDA inspection.

Read the case study

Process performance qualification recovery, Sterile injectables

Qualification programme recovery after a failed campaign

A sterile injectable manufacturer experienced a failed process performance qualification campaign due to filling accuracy deviations and environmental monitoring excursions. The regulatory timeline was at risk.
