• Perform routine chemical and physical tests in the lab/field: specific gravity, viscosity, solids content, pH, %volatiles, flash point, density, conductivity, FTIR swabs, titrations, refractometry, and basic wet-chemistry procedures.
• Operate, calibrate, and maintain tank line equipment and lab instruments: viscometer, density meter, pH meters, scales, pipettes, FTIR/IR spectrometer (or coordinate calibration), temperature sensors, pumps, filters, and dispensing equipment.
• Monitor tank levels, inventory, and batching operations; document receipts, transfers, and disposals through LIMS/ERP/Inventory systems.
• Prepare and mix small-batch formulations and dilutions per recipes and work instructions; support production batching under supervision.
• Conduct routine visual and simple microscopic inspections for contamination, phase separation, particulate presence, and color/appearance checks.
• Maintain sample chain-of-custody and accurate test records; enter test data into LIMS/PLM and generate routine QC reports.
• Support corrective actions for off-spec materials: quarantine, rework/dilution, blending, or disposal per procedures and regulatory guidelines.
• Perform preventative maintenance (PM) on tank line components: filters, seals, pumps, sensors; report larger maintenance/repair needs.
• Follow safety, environmental, and waste-handling procedures (PPE, spill response, SDS use, hazardous waste manifests).
• Participate in root-cause investigations by providing sampling data, test results, and field observations.

Basic Qualifications (Required Skills/Experience)

• Associate degree and typically 3 or more years' related work experience or an equivalent combination of education and experience
• Typically 1-3 years experience in chemical handling, coatings/fluids operations, industrial chemistry, paint/tank line operations, or laboratory support roles.
