JOB
SUMMARY
|
The primary function of
this position will be to collect samples for analysis using gas cabinets and
fume hoods. In addition, simple wet chemistry tests will also be
required. Additionally, the successful
candidate may need to assist with sample analysis of other products as
necessary. Operate and maintain sophisticated
gas equipment and analytical instrumentation - Design, develop, and carry out
new analytical processes. Some of the chemicals involved are hazardous in nature. The position involves collecting samples
from gas cylinders and preparing them for analysis and then analyzing the
samples using various techniques.
Basic computer software skills such as Microsoft Office platforms
including Outlook email is necessary.
Prior experience in a chemistry lab setting is a plus for this
position. This position will report to the lab manager or supervisor.
