Profession chemical manufacturing quality technician

Chemical manufacturing quality technicians perform inspections and precision measurements in order to test and ensure the quality of products, by using computer controlled machinery and systems.

Personality Type

• Realistic / Conventional

Knowledge

• Controlled substances permits

  The legal requirements and licenses required when handling controlled substances.

• Laboratory techniques

  Techniques applied in the different fields of natural science in order to obtain experimental data such as gravimetric analysis, gas chromatography, electronic or thermic methods.

• Good manufacturing practices

  Regulatory requirements and Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) applied in the relevant manufacturing sector.

• Good laboratory practice

  Regulatory requirements and Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) applied in the relevant manufacturing sector.

Skills

• Calibrate laboratory equipment

  Calibrate laboratory equipment by comparing between measurements: one of known magnitude or correctness, made with a trusted device and a second measurement from another piece of laboratory equipment. Make the measurements in as similar a way as possible.

• Adhere to standard procedures

  Adhere to and follow the Standard Operating Procedures (SOP).

• Oversee quality control

  Monitor and assure the quality of the provided goods or services by overseeing that all the factors of the production meet quality requirements. Supervise product inspection and testing.

• Work safely with chemicals

  Take the necessary precautions for storing, using and disposing chemical products.

• Perform laboratory tests

  Carry out tests in a laboratory to produce reliable and precise data to support scientific research and product testing.

• Monitor manufacturing quality standards

  Monitor quality standards in manufacturing and finishing process.

• Use ICT systems

  Select and use ICT systems for a variety of complex tasks in order to meet a variety of needs.

• Test chemical samples

  Perform the testing procedures on the already prepared chemical samples, by using the necessary equipment and materials. Chemical sample testing involves operations such as pipetting or diluting schemes.

• Perform product testing

  Test processed workpieces or products for basic faults.

• Document analysis results

  Document on paper or on electronic devices the process and the results of the samples analysis performed.

• Use non-destructive testing equipment

  Use specific non-destructive testing methods and equipment that do not cause any damage to the product, such as X-rays, ultrasonic testing, magnetic particle inspection, industrial CT scanning and others, in order to find defects in and assure quality of a manufactured and a repaired product.

• Communicate test results to other departments

  Communicate testing information such as testing schedules, samples testing statistics and test results, to the relevant departments.

• Record test data

  Record data which has been identified specifically during preceding tests in order to verify that outputs of the test produce specific results or to review the reaction of the subject under exceptional or unusual input.

• Prepare chemical samples

  Prepare the specific samples such as gas, liquid or solid samples in order for them to be ready for analysis, labeling and storing samples according to specifications.

• Use chemical analysis equipment

  Use the laboratory equipment such as Atomic Absorption equimpent, PH and conductivity meters or salt spray chambre.
