• Operate BCT labeling equipment and make adjustments during production runs
• Perform routine maintenance checks on equipment
• Inspect and verify component materials before use
• Package finished product according to work instructions
• Pull, identify, store, and deliver samples and documentation as required
• Perform quality checks to confirm product meets specifications
• Follow established Quality Systems, documentation practices, and all FDA/ISO regulations
• Report equipment, process, or personnel issues to management
• Perform other duties as assigned

• High school diploma, GED, or demonstrated success in a related role
• Strong dependability, organization, and interpersonal communication skills (written and oral)
• Ability to work cooperatively in a team-oriented environment
• Comfort using basic computer applications for inventory management, data entry, and training
• Ability to safely operate a pallet jack to move loaded pallets
• Willingness to learn automated equipment operation and basic troubleshooting

Work Environment

You'll work in a climate-controlled biological/chemical laboratory setting, with occasional short exposure to cold temperatures in walk-in coolers. The role requires wearing clean-room clothing and protective equipment (lab coats, hair/beard covers, masks, gloves, and/or face shields) for up to two and a half hours at a time. This role involves standing, walking, pushing, pulling, lifting up to 40 lbs occasionally, and similar physical activity. Travel is minimal (up to 0%, with rare exceptions).
