With an extensive reputation for excellence in manufacturing and quality assurance, CAPTEK is committed to championing wellness worldwide by providing trusted softgel supplements that meet stringent standards of purity, potency, and safety.

The position of Quality Control Chemist at CAPTEK Softgel International plays a crucial role in maintaining these high standards. This role involves testing and contracting necessary tests to third-party laboratories for all ingredients involved in softgel production to verify identity, purity, strength, and composition. The Quality Control Chemist ensures that the content of finished softgel product capsules complies with all established specifications, guaranteeing that each product released meets the highest quality expectations before reaching customers. This role requires a sophisticated understanding of analytical chemistry techniques and the ability to operate a variety of scientific instruments including High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), Gas Chromatography (GC), UV-Vis Spectrophotometry, Atomic Absorption Spectrometry, and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy.

The chemist's responsibilities extend to generating accurate Certificates of Analysis (CoA) for raw materials and finished products, creating and modifying Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and test methods, as well as collaborating with laboratory teams, microbiologists, and technicians to ensure smooth operational flow and compliance with safety and cGMP (current Good Manufacturing Practice) regulations. The role demands a high level of meticulousness in documenting procedures, safe handling of hazardous materials, and adherence to CAPTEK's policies and federal safety standards such as HACCP and Safety Defense.

CAPTEK values professionals who demonstrate excellent analytical skills, problem-solving abilities, and a collaborative approach to work. The Quality Control Chemist is expected to handle multiple projects simultaneously, adapt to evolving business pressures, and maintain professionalism in all communications. This role also requires the ability to work with advanced scientific concepts involving statistical theory and complex instrumentation software, alongside proficiency in computer applications such as Microsoft Word, Excel, SysPro, and UniPoint.

Working at CAPTEK means being part of an environment that prioritizes employee safety, quality management, and ongoing professional development. The work environment involves occasional exposure to toxic or caustic chemicals, and employees must observe strict safety protocols to mitigate risks including chemical burns, electrical hazards, and fire. The physical demands include extended periods of sitting, walking, lifting of objects up to 50 pounds, and performing tasks that require fine motor skills and close vision.

Joining CAPTEK Softgel International as a Quality Control Chemist is an opportunity to contribute to a global leader focused on enhancing health and wellness through nutraceutical innovation.
