Job description

We are a specialty chemicals manufacturing company with a full stack solution from R&D to manufacturing and global supply chain of chemicals to 26+ countries. Headquartered in Bengaluru, India we cater to pharmaceutical, agrochemical, industrial chemicals, food, nutraceuticals and animal nutrition industries.

Our B2B fulfillment platform supports businesses globally in developing and manufacturing chemicals from lab to commercial scale. With a team of in-house R&D experts and scientists, we offer custom synthesis and route scouting services to support manufacturers in product development.

We are VC backed - here is a read . We are 450+ people strong and have entities in India, Japan, USA, UAE and Indonesia. We are currently exporting to over 17 countries from India.

The Multi-Skilled Technician (MST) is responsible for the upkeep, routine monitoring, and first-line care of critical utilities and installed equipment supporting the organic synthesis lab and pilot facility — including HVAC systems, Air Handling Units (AHUs), and other plant-installed machinery.

This is not a deep-technical/engineering role; it is a hands‑on custodial and monitoring role focused on keeping equipment healthy, available, and efficiently utilized. Full training on equipment‑specific checks, tools, and escalation protocols is provided by the company.

This role does not require deep technical expertise in HVAC/AHU engineering, electrical/instrumentation troubleshooting, or equipment repair design. The MST is expected to observe, monitor, record, and escalate — not diagnose or repair independently. All specialized skills required for basic monitoring and upkeep are taught on the job.

Based at the Scimplify lab/plant facility, working closely with engineering, EHS, and lab/production teams. The role may involve shift-based working, movement across utility and equipment areas, and adherence to all site safety and PPE requirements.

Key Responsibilities

• ITI / Diploma in Mechanical, Electrical, Refrigeration & Air Conditioning, or a related technical trade (preferred, not mandatory).
• Prior exposure to plant utilities, HVAC/AHU systems, or general machine upkeep in a manufacturing, lab, or facility environment is an advantage.
• Willingness to learn and follow structured checklists and digital/manual logging methods.
• Basic understanding of reading gauges, meters, and simple instruments (or willingness to be trained).
• Comfortable working in a chemical/lab manufacturing environment with applicable safety standards.
• Reliable, disciplined, and detail-oriented in day-to-day record-keeping.
• Willing to work in shifts, as required by plant operations.
