Lotions and Oils Mixer

Summary:

We are seeking a detail-oriented Compounding / Mixing Operator to manufacture cosmetic and personal-care products - creams, lotions, emulsions, serums, and oil blends - in a cGMP environment. The operator is responsible for accurately weighing, dispensing, and blending raw materials according to approved formulas and batch records , maintaining full documentation and lot traceability, and keeping the production area clean, compliant, and audit-ready.
This role sits at the point where the formula becomes the product, so precision, discipline, and clean documentation matter as much as the mixing itself.

We are looking for 1st shift: Monday - Friday 7:00am - 3:30pm

Batch Manufacturing

• Compound batches per the Master Batch Record (MBR) and approved formulas/BOMs, following the exact order of addition, phase temperatures, and mixing parameters.
• Operate mixing and processing equipment: high-shear mixers, homogenizers, planetary/paddle mixers, jacketed/heated kettles, and transfer/filling equipment.
• Manage oil-phase and water-phase preparation, heating and cooling cycles, and emulsification to spec.
• Weigh and dispense raw materials accurately using calibrated scales; verify identity and lot of each component before use.
• Scale batches up or down as directed while maintaining formula ratios.

Documentation & Compliance

• Complete batch records in real time following Good Documentation Practices (GDP) - legible, contemporaneous, no back-dating, corrections initialed/dated.
• Record in-process checks: pH, viscosity, appearance/color/odor, temperature, weight/yield .
• Perform material reconciliation and record actual vs. theoretical yield; document and escalate deviations.
• Maintain lot control and traceability for all raw materials and finished/bulk product, including retain samples and retest/expiration dating.
• Follow SOPs and support deviation, CAPA, and change-control processes.

Sanitation, Safety & Line Clearance

• [1–3]+ years in cosmetic, personal-care, pharmaceutical, food, or chemical manufacturing (compounding/blending/batch making preferred).
• Working knowledge of cGMP and clean-manufacturing practices.
• Ability to read and follow batch records, SOPs, and formulas/BOMs precisely.
• Comfortable with weights, measures, unit conversions, and basic batch math.
• Experience operating mixing/blending equipment.
• Strong attention to detail and clean, accurate documentation habits.

Physical Requirements & Work Environment

• Ability to lift up to [50] lbs and handle/move drums, pails, and totes (with assistance/equipment as needed).
• Standing, bending, and repetitive motion for the duration of the shift.
• Work around heat, fragrances, and processing chemicals while wearing required PPE.
• Manufacturing floor environment; may include temperature-controlled areas.
