- Analyze and summarize test results using tools such as Excel and Minitab, providing clear, data-driven recommendations to stakeholders.
- Perform color matching, color control, slurry formulation, and specialized studies to ensure color consistency and product performance.
- Utilize precision measuring, weighing, and color instrumentation to verify product specifications and quality standards.
- Maintain a strong understanding of raw materials—including catalysts, promoters, resins, monomers, pigments, and fillers—and their impact on product quality and manufacturing processes.
- Support and maintain the quality management system by assisting with controlled documents, forms, internal audits, and compliance activities.
- Serve as a laboratory hygiene program administrator and help maintain an organized, clean, and safe work environment following 5S principles.
- Partner closely with production, quality, and technical teams to implement continuous improvement initiatives that enhance product quality, efficiency, and customer satisfaction.
- Provide backup support for QA Technicians to ensure uninterrupted quality operations and testing coverage.
- Utilize business systems, including KBM, to accurately document and communicate quality-related information.
- Demonstrate strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, collaboration, and communication skills while working independently and as part of a team.
- Maintain flexibility to support varying shifts and business needs as required.
What it takes to succeed:
- A self-starter mindset with the ability to work independently and effectively manage priorities.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, including knowledge of statistical methods and their application in quality improvement.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to collaborate across departments.
- Proficiency with computers and data analysis tools.
- Dependable attendance, a positive attitude, and a commitment to teamwork and continuous improvement.
- Ability to safely perform job-related physical activities, including standing, walking, stooping, climbing, handling materials, and lifting up to 60 pounds.
What You'll Bring to the Table
- Bachelor's degree in Engineering or a scientific discipline such as Chemistry, Biology, or Physics preferred; Associate's degree in Chemistry or a related field with relevant laboratory experience will also be considered.
We offer a comprehensive total rewards package that includes bonus eligibility and a competitive benefits program.
