About The Position

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.
