Quality Control Supervisor I/II/III
This position will be responsible for supervising all testing performed on the weekend within the QC Chemistry laboratory. QC Chemistry is a 24-hour, seven days a week operation. Most chemists work 12-hour shifts on the weekend. This position will be a 2nd shift position, working 12 hours on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The hours will be 2nd shift (approximately 1200 to 2400) which will enable overlap with both the day shift and evening shift. In order to obtain a total of 80 hours per pay period, one additional 8-hour shift per two-week period will be required. The identity of the additional 8-hour shift will be determined between the hiring manager and the selected candidate.
The position will provide both direct (approximately six direct reports) and indirect supervision (approximately six chemists) to multiple 12-hour in-process chemists. Duties will include overseeing the hiring and training of new chemists, coordinating testing needs with manufacturing as well as the rest of the chemistry team and ensuring that all testing is completed in a compliant and accurate manner. Duties will also include performing final data review for data generated by your team and potentially other teams as well. All work is performed within a regulated GMP environment. These in-process testing groups are fast-paced groups that must be able to quickly react when samples arrive. The in-process groups also perform routine testing in between or along with in-process tests. The selected candidate must be able to multi-task and be able to respond quickly to situations that arise. The selected candidate should have some experience with the relevant assays and instrumentation (Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy, Gas Chromatography, UV-VIS-based assays, titrations, and use of various meters).
