Role Objective

Lead quality control operations for raw materials, in-process batches, finished specialty chemicals and polymers. Ensure reliable testing, consistent specifications, timely batch release and effective coordination with manufacturing, R&D and Quality Assurance.

Key Responsibilities – Quality Operations

• Lead QC activities across incoming raw materials, packaging where applicable, in-process samples and finished goods.
• Establish and maintain product specifications, sampling plans, test methods, control limits and release criteria.
• Oversee routine chemical, physical and application-based testing appropriate to specialty chemical and polymer products.
• Ensure timely, accurate laboratory testing and support production schedules without compromising quality standards.
• Review and authorize QC reports, certificates of analysis (COAs), test records and batch disposition recommendations under approved procedures.
• Investigate out-of-specification (OOS), out-of-trend (OOT) and nonconforming results; coordinate root-cause analysis and corrective actions.
• Monitor batch-to-batch consistency, process deviations, rework evaluations and stability or retention-sample trends.

Manufacturing & Customer Coordination

• Partner with Production to resolve quality issues, reduce rejections and improve right-first-time manufacturing.
• Work with R&D and QA on specification development, method transfer, new product validation and change control.

• Maintain laboratory instruments, calibration schedules, preventive maintenance, reference standards and equipment qualification records.
• Implement documented SOPs, GLP, good documentation practices, data integrity controls and appropriate sample traceability.
• Support ISO/QMS requirements, internal and external audits, CAPA tracking and continual improvement initiatives.
• Ensure safe chemical handling, SDS compliance, laboratory housekeeping and proper management of testing waste.
• Track quality KPIs such as testing turnaround time, OOS frequency, rejection rates, complaint closure and repeat deviations.

Qualifications & Experience

• Minimum 10–15 years of relevant QC experience in specialty chemicals, polymers or chemical manufacturing, including laboratory/team management.
• M.Sc. Chemistry / Analytical Chemistry, B.Sc. Chemistry with strong relevant experience, or B.E./B.Tech. Chemical Engineering; postgraduate qualifications preferred.
• Strong experience with wet chemistry, physicochemical testing, instrumental analysis and application testing relevant to product portfolio.
• Experience with textile, detergent and/or oilfield chemicals preferred; exposure to multi-product manufacturing is advantageous.
