• AdvanSix is seeking a highly motivated, entry-level bench chemist to support its 24/7 unionized laboratory at the caprolactam manufacturing plant in Hopewell, Virginia. The laboratory performs in-process and finished-product testing. This position is one of two analyst roles that support the ammonia and sulfuric acid production units.

Occasional overtime outside these hours may be required based on business needs.

Key responsibilities include performing routine instrumental and wet-chemistry analyses to support ammonia and sulfuric acid production and recording the results electronically.

This position is part of the Hopewell Quality Assurance team, which includes four additional chemists and approximately 30 union laboratory technicians. This role may provide opportunities for advancement into other chemist positions within Hopewell or the company's broader analytical groups and functions.

Coursework or hands-on experience operating spectrophotometers or gas chromatographs.

Hired applicants will be eligible for medical, dental and vision insurance, flexible spending and health savings account eligibility, employer-provided short term disability benefits, eligibility to purchase long term disability benefits, employer-provided basic life insurance and eligibility to purchase voluntary life coverages.
