Job Description:

We are seeking a motivated, dependable Entry-Level QC Lab Technician to join a fast-paced Quality Control laboratory environment. This is an excellent opportunity for someone interested in building a career in the pharmaceutical/scientific industry.

Previous laboratory experience is not required.

  • Conduct testing including pH, titrations, viscosity, osmolality, and NCH/wet chemistry testing
  • Operate general laboratory instrumentation following established procedures
  • Accurately document testing activities and results
  • Follow written procedures, laboratory requirements, and applicable quality standards
  • Manage multiple testing activities and changing priorities in a high-volume, fast-paced environment
  • Maintain strong attention to detail while completing repetitive and time-sensitive work
  • Work collaboratively with laboratory and Quality team members
  • Learn new laboratory techniques and instrumentation through hands-on training
  • Support other laboratory activities as assigned
