Key Responsibilities

1. R&D & Formulation Development

• Design, formulate, and refine performance-driven product lines:
  • Home Care and Laundry Care: Liquid Detergents, Fabric Conditioners, Dishwash Liquids, Floor & Surface Cleaners, Glass Cleaners, Toilet Cleaners, Degreasers, and Disinfectants.
• Conduct lab-scale trials, stability studies, and pilot batches.
• Evaluate alternative raw materials and work with suppliers to optimize cost without compromising quality or performance.
• Benchmark formulations against market competitors and customer specifications.

2. Production & Scale-Up Management

• Successfully transition lab-scale formulas into efficient, commercial-scale production processes.
• Prepare and strictly enforce Batch Manufacturing Records (BMRs) and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).
• Supervise batch mixing sequences, critical processing parameters (pH, viscosity, temperature, active matter), dosing accuracy, and equipment setup.
• Maintain high production efficiency while minimizing raw material yield loss and batch failures.
• Oversee preventive maintenance and operation of mixing tanks, agitators, pumps, and filling lines.

3. Quality Assurance & Control

• Implement end-to-end quality protocols for raw material inspection, in-process testing, and final product release.
• Monitor product parameters: active matter percentage, density, viscosity, pH, stability, and cleaning efficacy.
• Maintain Certificates of Analysis (COAs), test records, and retain samples to ensure batch-to-batch consistency.

4. Plant Execution, Safety & Cost Management

• Work with management to continuously reduce cost per kilogram/liter to meet target profit margins.
• Maintain plant safety, chemical storage guidelines, and housekeeping protocols.
• Supervise, train, and guide plant operators and helpers on batch execution, safety gear (PPE), and process compliance.

Required Skills & Qualifications

• Core Technical Expertise: In-depth knowledge of surfactant chemistry (LABSA, SLES, CAPB, non-ionics), builders, emulsifiers, polymers, preservatives, and fragrance systems.
• Hands-on Scale-Up Experience: Proven ability to take a product through every stage: Formula Lab Trial Pilot Batch Commercial Scale QC Documentation.
• Troubleshooting: Quick diagnostic skills for production issues, separation, phase instability, or viscosity variations.
• Commercial Mindset: Sound understanding of formulation costing, margin targets, and yield calculations.
• Leadership: Strong floor presence to manage workers and execute daily targets efficiently.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

• Number of commercialized new formulations developed.
• First-time-right batch success rate and batch-to-batch consistency.
• Yield optimization and minimization of raw material wastage.
• Cost reduction per unit produced.
• Implementation and compliance rate of SOPs and BMRs.
