Analytical Chemist

Description

We're on a mission to help people learn about their water, but we need your help!

Are you a detail-oriented person looking for one of the best working environments in Madison, IN? Do you have experience analyzing samples with computer-based analytical instruments? Do you have a growth mindset? Do you enjoy working as part of a team, but doing so in a largely independent manner? Do you find satisfaction in solving problems?

ELI specializes in environmental analytical chemistry. We have an upbeat, positive, happy, down-to-earth culture where a natural curiosity about the world around us and a respect for one another (and our clients) is a part of everything we do. We place special emphasis on helping one another and doing excellent work; we don’t take ourselves too seriously, but we take our work very seriously. We’re looking for a new team member to fill a full-time, salaried position as a Analytical Production Chemist on our Analytical team. You’ll perform metals analysis on drinking water and waste water samples using our ICP, CVAA, and eventually our ICPMS. You should have at least 1 year of experience with instrumental analysis.

Education

Bachelor’s Degree in Chemistry

Responsibilities

You will be the person primarily responsible for performing metals analysis on water samples in our lab; you'll be responsible for multiple different analytical methods. Planning is an essential part of how we get things done on this team - planning your days/weeks based on your in-house sample load. So, if you're not naturally a big planner, we'll turn you into one after a few months on this team. You'll run your instruments/methods multiple times each week and regularly perform preventative maintenance and troubleshooting on your instruments.

We also do a fair bit of bacterial analysis, so we'll make you part of that daily rotation as well. Depending on your aptitude, you'll eventually have opportunities to cross train on other analytical methods beyond those for which you're primarily responsible. For the first several months as part of our team you’ll be learning at a geometric rate from capable, experienced scientists.

You don’t have to be a nerd to succeed as part of our team, although it does help; you just need to value hard work, have a servant’s heart, care about people, and be excited by the thought of working in a lab. We’re proud to provide all industry-specific knowledge and training on the job.

Skills/Requirements

• Relentlessly positive
• Teachable
• Hungry
• 1 year of instrumental analysis experience
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced and demanding environment
• Super flexible
• Bothered by mistakes
• Very high attention to detail
• High level of comfort with technology: smartphone, Microsoft Outlook, Excel spreadsheets, etc.
• Willingness to do what’s needed to get the job done: sweep a floor, wipe down a lab bench, take out the trash

If this sounds like your kind of role, then please be sure to include a cover letter with your resume. We’d like some insight into how you believe you will add value to our team, not to mention why you're interested in this role. If you don't include a cover letter, your resume/application will be rejected.

If you love the thought of making a tangible difference in a family business and you like mixing with a bunch of quirky characters, then this is the team for you. Have a personality and be prepared to bring your whole self to work with you all day, every day.
