CONSULTANT REGULATORY AFFAIRS Biocides, junior or medior

Ensus Consulting BV is a consulting and services firm operating at the interface between science, government and industry. We provide tailor-made Regulatory Affairs dossier management services to national and international customers covering all aspects of dossiers related to chemicals legislations including the Biocidal Products Regulation (BPR), Plant Protection Products Regulation (PPPR), etc. In order to further expand our small regulatory affairs team, we are looking for a highly motivated new colleague.

After an initial period of training on-the-job, you will soon be expected to work independently. You will support companies in their regulatory challenges related to chemical products, incl. biocides and pesticides. You coordinate and support regulatory dossiers —covering both national and European chemical legislations— from start to finish. The latter includes for example setting up challenging efficacy testing scenarios, discussions with laboratories on analytical testing, dossier creation, etc. Furthermore, you will be able to take part to European discussions on drafting the guidance and commenting on existing guidance documents.

While we strongly value the capacity to work independently, it is also essential to cooperate with your colleagues, external partners and experts, authorities and our (inter)national customers.
