QC Lab Technician - 3rd Shift

Rust-Oleum
Somerset, NJ Full Time
POSTED ON 8/20/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 10/19/2026

As our Quality Control Technician you will assure product quality by preparing samples, conducting quality control inspection and testing of components, dispersions, and finished goods, determining adjustments for batches that do not conform to requirements, documenting inspections, and insuring calibration of testing equipment.

Solving challenges is the very foundation of who we are. After all, in the beginning, our founder, sea captain Robert Fergusson, didn’t particularly care about paint. When he founded our company in 1921, he just wanted to keep his ship intact and stumbled upon a valuable solution. Today, that discovery is Rust-Oleum Corporation.
The same passion that drove the Captain to spend his next few years creating the world’s first rust-preventative paint still drives us today. When we see a problem, we work diligently until we’ve perfected a solution, which has led to some of the most cutting edge, durable and innovative products in the industry. Our creative and talented team of over 2000 people across every corner of the world, help us remain the global leader in protective paints and coatings for both home and industry.

 

Here's what you can expect every day:

  • Perform testing of production batches, incoming raw materials, finished goods, and components to determine conformance to specifications.
  • Judge as “fit for release” production batches, incoming raw materials, finished goods, and components that are in conformance to all specifications and visually acceptable.
  • Determine and communicate batch adjustments for any batches that do not conform to requirements, utilizing batch history, adjustment guidelines, and consultation with the QC Manager.
  • Perform validation testing during filling to insure integrity of finished goods, including labeling, packaging, and fill weights.
  • Communicate current status of inspections to QC Manager.
  • Communicate issues with work instructions and procedures to QC Manager.
  • Document inspection results.
