• Check gauges, controls, and monitoring devices to ensure equipment operates within specified parameters.
• Follow all standard operating procedures (SOPs) for mixing, batching, and equipment operation.
• Keep detailed and accurate batch records, including materials used, process steps, and any deviations.
• Work with batch sizes up to 4,000 gallons, ensuring proper mixing, timing, and process control.
• Monitor running machinery such as pumps, mixers, and milling machines, and respond promptly to any issues.
• Notify maintenance immediately if any problems or abnormalities occur with equipment or processes.
• Perform housekeeping duties while machines are running or when batches are completed, including sweeping, cleaning, and maintaining a tidy work area.
• Communicate daily batch records and production status with the next shift and supervisors to ensure smooth handoffs.

• Strong attention to detail when weighing raw materials and recording batch information.
• Capability to handle liquids and powders safely from drums, totes, and bags.
• Comfort working with large batch sizes and operating pumps, mixers, and milling machines.
• Effective communication skills for coordinating with helpers, other shifts, and supervisors.
• Commitment to following safety protocols and participating in daily safety meetings.

• Previous experience in a modern chemical or pharmaceutical production facility.
• Familiarity with large-scale batch reactors and associated process equipment.
• Ability to multitask by monitoring equipment while performing housekeeping or support tasks.
• Experience working across different shifts or in a high-activity production environment.
• Willingness to assist with packaging, staging, and order preparation as needed.
• Comfort working in both smaller, highly organized facilities and larger, high-volume production environments.
• Openness to comprehensive on-the-job training provided by supervisors.

You will work in modern, temperature-controlled chemical manufacturing facilities that include both production floors and warehouse areas. One site features a smaller workforce with about 10–15 people on first shift and fewer on second shift, fewer lines and kettles, and a highly organized, recently remodeled environment known for its cleanliness and structured inventory. Another site is larger, housing a few hundred employees across shifts, with more production lines and higher overall activity, which can feel fast-paced and dynamic h locations focus heavily on safety and operate with…
