It's hard. Most validation teams are understaffed. Lots of fires to put out but you will learn a lot. Don't get trapped in the same job for 5+ years I've seen it happen especially in validation. Burnout is real to the point where people are so focused on doing their job they don't have time to look for a new one. Validation experience is recognized pretty well especially if you want to go into a senior leadership type role

Its very sink or swim but that's just what I've seen. Maybe some teams actually try to train their people

I'm interested in pursuing a career as a validation engineer. I currently work in quality assurance but have a background in pharmaceutical process engineering. Could you please share your career journey and any advice on the qualifications or training I should consider to secure a position like yours?

To become a Validation Engineer, you need to understand the process. So, if you look at ISPE Commission & Qualification flow diagram. It will give you a basic understanding.

Does anyone have any RAG formulaic templates they've used in the past that they wouldn't mind sharing? Working at a company that is developing processes and we do not have a consistent/formulaic approach to RAG status.

But, I'm unable to find a template like that easily.
