Full job description

Wychem, an Ascensus Specialties Company, is excited to announce an opening for a Quality Control (QC) Analyst! The QC Analyst, reporting directly to the Quality Control Lead or Manager, is a critical component of the company’s quality control processes and systems. Operating within a fast-paced analytical laboratory, the successful candidate will perform routine and non-routine analysis of raw materials, intermediates, and final products to ensure strict compliance with client and company specifications. This role directly supports production workflows, aids in research and development (R&D) projects, and assists the QC Lead in method reviews, documentation, and equipment troubleshooting to drive organizational growth.

Key Responsibilities

The QC Analyst plays a critical role in our quality control process, ensuring our chemical products meet the highest standards of quality and compliance. This involves:

Conducting a wide range of analyses: Performing tests such as gas chromatography (GC), high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), Karl Fischer titrations (KF), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) to analyze raw materials, intermediates, and finished products.
Maintaining meticulous records: Accurately documenting all test results, observations, and deviations in accordance with company procedures and industry standards.
Collaborating effectively: Working closely with the QC Lead, production team, and research scientists to ensure smooth operations and support new product development.
Troubleshooting and investigating: Applying analytical and problem-solving skills to address quality issues, identify root causes, and implement corrective actions.
Contributing to continuous improvement: Participating in method development and validation, reviewing technical documentation, and identifying opportunities to enhance efficiency and quality.

This position offers a chance to make a direct impact on product quality and contribute to the success of a growing company with a global presence.

Technical Proficiency: Demonstrated experience and use of analytical techniques, specifically the hands-on use and operation of GC, HPLC, FTIR, KF, and titrations.
Safety & Systems: Familiarity handling potentially hazardous chemicals and an understanding of QC quality systems (e.g., ISO 9001:2015).
Core Skills: Strong prioritization skills with the ability to manage shifting workloads under pressure.

Preferred Qualifications

Advanced Background: A degree in Organic or Analytical Chemistry combined with 3–5 years of Quality Control experience within a relevant industry environment (e.g., fine chemical or pharmaceutical manufacture).
Proven Instrumentation Skills: A proven track record and demonstrated operation of GCs, HPLCs, KF, FTIR, titrations, and balances.
Troubleshooting Expertise: Knowledge and understanding of the maintenance, troubleshooting, and repair of GCs, HPLCs, and gas generation systems.
Organizational Impact: A proven track record of strong prioritization and time-management skills in an operational setting.
