• Support investigations related to customer complaints and product quality concerns
• Maintain laboratory calibration, documentation, and retain systems
• Participate in Gauge R&R studies to validate methods and ensure data reliability
• Ensure proper handling, labeling, storage, and disposal of chemicals and hazardous waste
• Support compliance with ISO 9001, EFfCI, GMP, RSPO, and site HSSE requirements

What Sets You Apart

• Hands-on experience with wet chemistry and analytical instrumentation
• Strong understanding of laboratory safety, chemical handling, and solution preparation
• Ability to interpret data and make sound quality decisions in a production environment
• Clear, effective communicator across operations, engineering, and leadership
• High attention to detail with disciplined documentation practices
• Ability to prioritize in a fast-paced, batch-driven manufacturing setting
• Independent thinker with strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills

What You Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Biology, or related field (preferred)
• OR relevant laboratory experience in a manufacturing or industrial setting
• Experience with LIMS, SAP, or similar systems is a plus
• Familiarity with quality systems and regulatory frameworks (ISO, GMP, etc.)

Work Environment

This role is based in a chemical manufacturing facility in Liberty, TX and requires regular presence in both the laboratory and production environment.

• Exposure to chemicals, reagents, and industrial operations
