•At least 3 years of quality-control laboratory experience, ideally 3 to 5 years, with hands-on HPLC experience.

•Experience managing projects, writing technical reports, and reviewing peers' laboratory reports.

•Ability to follow written methods independently, manage your time, and communicate clearly within a laboratory team.

•Relevant product-testing experience; pharmaceutical QC backgrounds are welcome, and cGMP laboratory experience is preferred.

•Ability to perform essential laboratory activities, including standing and walking throughout an 8-hour shift, bending, using stairs, and moving loads of at least 50 pounds, with or without reasonable accommodation.

The second-shift schedule is Monday through Thursday, 3:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m., and Friday, 1:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. This is a full-time, fully onsite position with no travel expected. Employment is subject to a preemployment background check and drug screen, as permitted by applicable law.

You'll contribute to the quality of supplements for people and pets through careful testing, accurate reporting, and collaboration with colleagues who review and rely on your work.
