Lab Dye Technician

Job Description

Job Description

Color is either right or it is wrong, and there is no hiding the difference under bright factory lights. As a  Laboratory Technician  in a busy dyehouse, your day revolves around precision, judgment, and the quiet pressure of getting it exactly right the first time. Every formula you mix becomes part of a finished product someone will see, touch, and judge. You will measure, test, and adjust until color matches are exact, knowing production depends on your call. If you have ever trusted your eye more than a screen and still double checked the numbers, you already understand the rhythm here. It is hands on, exacting work that rewards focus and consistency.

This production focused textile operation in Kentwood runs a dedicated dyehouse supporting yarn manufacturing at scale. The facility blends laboratory precision with floor level production, supplying consistent color standards and quality materials for downstream manufacturing processes in a structured, team driven environment.

You will prepare dye formulations, measure liquid and powder chemicals, and run lab trials. You will compare results to standard samples, adjust formulas, perform quality testing on materials, manage yarn assignments for dyeing, and keep the lab clean, safe, and organized.
