An ideal candidate is someone who has 7+ years of QC/QA experience in a chemical manufacturing environment, is hands-on with lab testing (titration and other wet-chemistry methods), ideally has exposure to textile/apparel specialty chemicals, and is comfortable leading a small team.
Key Responsibilities
- Inspect and test incoming raw materials against approved specifications before they are released for production
- Conduct in-process (process) quality checks at each stage of production to catch deviations early
- Carry out final quality checks on finished goods prior to packing and dispatch, ensuring products meet defined quality standards
- Perform lab tests such as titration and other standard wet-chemistry tests to verify product parameters (pH, viscosity, active content, density, etc.)
- Test and validate specialty textile/apparel chemicals - lubricants, wetting agents, powder-based enzymes, and amino silicone-based softeners - against product specifications
- Verify that incoming raw material quantities and outgoing finished goods quantities are accurately recorded and reconciled
