Quality Control Lab Technician

The Quality Control Lab Technician supports daily quality-control testing to make sure raw materials, in-process materials, and finished products meet established specifications before they move forward in production or ship to customers. This is a hands-on lab role. The technician collects and prepares samples and runs routine tests, including pH testing with a probe and viscosity testing. The technician records results accurately in Excel and lab records.

The technician reports any out-of-specification results immediately to Quality and Production. The lab is fast-paced, and testing is time-sensitive, so the technician handles several tests at once while following established test methods and procedures. This is a swing-shift position, typically 9:30 a.m. to 6:15 p.m., Monday through Friday.
