Job Description
Our client, located in Research Triangle Park (RTP), North Carolina, is a leading player in the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry with a strong commitment to quality and innovation. Specializing in the production of parenteral drug products, the company operates within a highly regulated GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) environment to ensure the highest standards of quality and safety. With a focus on scientific excellence and operational efficiency, the organization fosters a culture of continuous improvement and collaboration among its workforce.
The company is seeking a skilled Chemistry Lab Technician for a 6-month contract position situated on-site in RTP, NC. The role offers a competitive hourly wage of $23 and operates primarily on a 12-hour night shift from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m., following a 2-2-3 work schedule. This schedule alternates between 36 and 48 working hours per week, including the possibility of weekend shifts and occasional work outside standard hours to support 24/7 manufacturing operations.
The Chemistry Lab Technician plays a vital role in supporting site production and stability programs by performing accurate and timely analytical testing of laboratory and stability samples. Operating in strict compliance with GMP regulations and site-specific procedures, the technician ensures that all testing activities meet quality standards and regulatory requirements. Responsibilities encompass a variety of analytical techniques such as UV-VIS spectroscopy, total organic carbon (TOC), pH, conductivity, color measurement, clarity inspection, osmolality, and visual or functional inspections.
In addition to hands-on testing, the role requires meticulous documentation of results in laboratory reports and Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS), guaranteeing data integrity and traceability. The technician is also expected to support investigations related to deviations and non-conformances, perform second-person verification of analytical data, troubleshoot laboratory equipment and test methods, and maintain inventory of lab supplies and consumables.
Further, the position contributes to the company’s Lean Lab and 5S initiatives aimed at optimizing laboratory processes, improving efficiency, and maintaining an organized, safe workstation. Due to the nature of parenteral manufacturing, the role may involve exposure to allergens and requires adherence to rigorous Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) guidelines.
The ideal candidate will demonstrate strong analytical and problem-solving skills, high attention to detail, and the ability to effectively manage multiple tasks in a fast-paced environment. Excellent communication skills and a collaborative mindset are essential to work both independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team. This role offers an excellent opportunity for candidates seeking to enhance their expertise in a regulated pharmaceutical lab setting with the potential for contract extension or permanent conversion based on performance and business need. Candidates should be prepared to work night shifts and be flexible to support operational demands as required.
