 A Day in the Life of a Validation Consultant in the Pharma Industry

Most people think validation in the pharma industry is just about documentation.

Honestly, I used to hear this a lot: It’s just paperwork, right?
But in reality, it’s far from that.

Working at SkillBee Solution, my day usually involves much more than writing protocols or reports. It’s about understanding how systems actually work, finding gaps before auditors do, and sometimes even solving problems no one initially notices.

Every day is a little different—but here’s what a typical day looks like.

Journey Begins Today

Starting the Day: Not Everything Goes as Planned

The day usually starts with checking ongoing work—what’s pending, what needs review, and what might cause delays.

But honestly, things don’t always go exactly as planned.

Sometimes a client needs urgent changes.
Sometimes a document needs rework.
And sometimes, a small issue turns into a bigger discussion.

At SkillBee Solution, we’ve learned to stay flexible because validation is not just about timelines—it’s about getting things right.

Review Yesterday Work and what Action need

Understanding the System: The Most Underrated Part

Before writing anything, the first step is always understanding the system.

This is where many people go wrong.

You can’t validate something properly if you don’t understand:

  • How the system is actually used
  • Where the risks are
  • What could go wrong

I’ve seen cases where everything looked perfect on paper, but in reality, the system had gaps.

That’s why we spend time with:

  • IT teams
  • QA teams
  • Sometimes even end users

Documentation: It’s Not Just Filling Templates

Once the system is clear, then comes documentation.

But again, it’s not about filling templates.

It’s about writing things that actually make sense:

  • Test cases that reflect real scenarios
  • Risk assessments that are not copied
  • Documents that you can confidently explain during an audit

To be very honest, auditors can easily tell when documents are just “for the sake of it.”

That’s why at SkillBee Solution, we focus on keeping documentation simple, clear, and real. Check every document carefully, from the junior level to the expert level, before proceeding to the next step.

Mid-Day Challenges: This Is Where Experience Helps

This is usually the most unpredictable part of the day.

You might face situations like:

  • A system not behaving as expected
  • Missing requirements
  • Confusion between teams

And this is where experience actually matters.

Instead of complicating things, the goal is to find solutions that are:
✔ Practical
✔ Compliant
✔ Easy to implement

Working with People: Not Just Systems

One thing people often ignore—validation is not just about systems, it’s about people.

You’re constantly interacting with:

  • QA teams
  • IT teams
  • Management

And everyone has a different perspective.

Some are focused on compliance.
Some on timelines.
Some on operations.
Some on Documentation.

At SkillBee Solution, a big part of our work is balancing all these expectations without creating confusion or extra workload.

End of the Day: Thinking Like an Auditor

Before wrapping up, there’s always one question in mind:

👉 If an auditor checks this tomorrow, will it hold up?”

That mindset changes everything.

You start reviewing your own work differently.
You look for gaps.
You simplify where needed.

Because at the end of the day, validation is not about completing tasks—it’s about being ready at any time.

The Reality

Some days are smooth.
Some days are a bit stressful.

But that’s the nature of real projects.

What stays constant is the responsibility—making sure systems are reliable, compliant, and audit-ready.

Conclusion

Validation is often seen as a backend activity, but it plays a major role in how smoothly a pharma company operates—especially during audits.

It’s not just about documents.
It’s about clarity, confidence, and control over your systems.

At SkillBee Solution, we believe validation should not feel like a burden. It should feel like a structured, practical process that actually helps your business.
