• Perform quality control testing on final, in-process, effluent, wastewater, solid, tanker, waste, and other miscellaneous samples in support of the site manufacturing operations. Interpreting results, deduce solutions and communicate effectively, whilst working to tight production schedules, prioritising and managing workloads to prevent hold-ups to the plants processes.• Perform reagent, raw material and consumable stock checks and reorder by using an internal/external ordering system and ensure waste processing was organised in a timely manner to avoid unnecessary delays.• Support plant operatives in their daily in-process duties and aid in supporting/training where necessary.• Analyse samples using various wet chemistry techniques, HPLC, GC, Infrared instruments and following various validated methods to ensure products fall within specification and report any out of spec non conformances. • Regularly preform preventative maintenance and fault finding on lab equipment to reduce downtime and prevent unexpected delays.

Runcorn

• Produced chromatography media phases. Performed synthetic reactions which include Dean and Stark condensations, bulk emulsifications and controlled acid catalysed reactions using process control and automated systems.• Troubleshot issues and used various methods to capture and rectify waste by using methods including Root Cause Analysis, 5why’s, Practical Process Improvement, KAIZEN, KPI’s, Gemba Walks.• Handled Final Product and In Process testing on media. Signed off on material once tested and recorded any non-conformances encountered and reported these accordingly. Completed product validation for a successful UHPLC/HPLC product launch.• Responsible for compiling chromatographic test data by performing appropriate analyses to ensure media meets the established specifications, standard test methods, protocols and performing root cause analysis where required and implementing preventative measures where necessary.
