Job Duties:

- Sometimes the mixing process gets a little messy - both in the usage of raw materials & the water involved - so, you'll need to be okay with getting your hands dirty and cleaning up when you are done. Uniforms are provided.
- Monitoring the USP water system and performing scheduled sanitation (cleans).
- Keeping an eye on the availability of the base raw materials to accommodate scheduled production, and maintaining raw material (chemical) storage in a neat and orderly fashion.
