Job Title:

Weekend QC Chemist Job Description We are seeking a Weekend QC Chemist with a strong theoretical knowledge of chemistry, flexibility in work schedule, and commitment to work coverage. Ideal candidates will have computer experience and preferably be local students. This role offers an excellent opportunity for current science students to gain hands-on experience in a laboratory setting, performing quality and analytical lab testing. Responsibilities Conduct testing on in-process and finished samples using ASTM methods. Document results manually and in an electronic system. Operate and maintain laboratory instrumentation including titrations, viscosity, flash point, penetration, moisture analysis, IR, and GC. Perform pH testing as needed. Follow work orders each shift to accomplish tasks within the allotted time. Essential Skills Proficiency in titrations, viscosity measurements, and pH testing. Strong documentation skills. Knowledge of laboratory safety and procedures. Experience in analytical chemistry and quality control. Additional Skills & Qualifications Currently a sophomore or junior in college studying Chemistry. Experience with gas chromatography and FTIR is a plus. Exposure to working with solvents and grease.
