Nephron Nitrile is a newly established, privately-owned nitrile glove manufacturer based in West Columbia, South Carolina. Proudly producing products made in the USA, Nephron Nitrile operates a cutting-edge facility equipped with fully automated manufacturing, packaging, and distribution systems. The company also boasts high-volume and redundant utility systems that guarantee consistent production system availability. As a company dedicated to quality and efficiency, Nephron Nitrile integrates modern technology and industrial best practices to maintain its competitive edge in the medical and industrial glove market. The company culture emphasizes safety, teamwork, and innovation, fostering an environment where employees can thrive and contribute to the company’s growth and success. Nephron Nitrile is committed to equal employment opportunities and maintaining a drug-free workplace, ensuring that all employees work in a safe and respectful environment.
The Batching Technician at Nephron Nitrile plays a vital role in the production process by preparing batches of nitrile latex and other essential materials following detailed formulations. This full-time position requires the technician to accurately calculate the quantities of materials needed for each batch size and to support the planning, assembly, preparation, and maintenance of batching systems. The role involves mixing materials using standard equipment and measuring critical properties such as total solids, pH, viscosity, and other key characteristics to meet product specifications. The Batching Technician contributes directly to the quality and reliability of the company's glove products, ensuring adherence to industry standards and regulatory requirements. Responsibilities also include performing latex dipping experiments, documenting all process variables and results, and maintaining laboratory and manufacturing safety and security compliance.
This role demands a strong attention to detail, precision, and the ability to efficiently manage multiple tasks in a dynamic environment. The technician should be proficient in understanding regulations such as ASTM standards for medical gloves and capable of creating internal test plans and protocols when necessary. Collaboration and communication with project leaders and team members are critical to the successful development and refinement of glove product lines. Additionally, the technician must be willing to work outside normal working hours as required to meet company production goals. The position calls for both individual initiative and teamwork to continuously improve product quality and manufacturing efficiency. Prospects for this role include professional development opportunities in industrial lab or manufacturing environments, particularly in polymer chemistry and compounding processes, enhancing skills pertinent to rubber, plastic, and water-based polymer materials handling.
Nephron Nitrile offers a stimulating work environment equipped with advanced technology and supportive leadership focused on the growth and success of its workforce. The Batching Technician is essential to maintaining the high standards of the company’s manufacturing processes and contributing to the company’s reputation as a leading domestic nitrile glove manufacturer. This career opportunity is ideal for individuals with a technical background in polymer science or industrial manufacturing seeking to apply and expand their expertise within a progressive and innovative company.
