Job description

QC Chemist

Location: Howell, NJ

Type: Full-Time | Onsite

Salary: $65,000 – $70,000

Why This Role

This is an excellent opportunity for a hands‑on QC Chemist to join a growing, well‑established nutraceutical manufacturing environment where quality and compliance truly matter. You’ll work alongside an experienced Quality team, gain exposure to modern analytical techniques, and play a direct role in ensuring products meet regulatory and safety standards. If you’re early in your QC career and looking for real lab responsibility, strong mentorship, and long‑term growth, this role offers exactly that.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Perform analytical testing on raw materials and finished products using established procedures
• Execute testing techniques including HPTLC, UV‑Vis, FTIR, and wet chemistry
• Operate, maintain, and verify laboratory equipment
• Support Out of Specification (OOS) and Awaiting Disposition investigations, including root‑cause analysis
• Assist with method development and validation (as needed)
• Prepare and review documentation including Certificates of Analysis (COAs)
• Manage sample receipt, tracking, and archival
• Maintain laboratory inventory, safety, and documentation standards
• Collaborate with Quality and Operations teams to support production timelines

What We’re Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry, Biology, or a related scientific discipline
• 2+ years of experience in a nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, or regulated laboratory
• Hands‑on experience with HPTLC strongly preferred
• Working knowledge of cGMP, FDA, and ISO/IEC 17025 standards
• Strong attention to detail and documentation accuracy
• Ability to work independently while contributing to a team environment

What Makes This Role Stand Out

• Stable, year‑round work in a growing industry
• Clear exposure to regulated QC operations, not just routine testing
• Collaborative lab environment with experienced leadership
• Early Friday schedule and consistent weekday hours
• Opportunity to deepen technical skills and advance within Quality
