Quality Control Analyst

Job Summary:

We are seeking a highly motivated, detail-oriented, and dedicated Quality Control Laboratory Analyst to join our team. The successful candidate will play a key role in ensuring product quality and compliance with internal and regulatory standards. Ideal candidates should be graduates of BS Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, or Laboratory Technology, with strong analytical thinking and a proactive approach to quality assurance. Prior laboratory experience is an advantage, but fresh graduates with strong academic backgrounds and the right attitude are also welcome to apply.

Qualifications:

• Graduate of BS Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, or Laboratory Technology, with a solid foundation in laboratory practices, analytical techniques, and quality control principles.
• Strong analytical and critical-thinking skills, with the ability to accurately troubleshoot laboratory or technical issues, evaluate data, and recommend effective solutions.
• At least one (1) year of relevant work experience in a QC/QA laboratory environment performing chemical, physical, or analytical testing is preferred; however, this role is also open to fresh graduates who have demonstrated strong academic performance and practical laboratory exposure.
• Fresh graduates with an excellent academic background and hands-on laboratory experience are encouraged to apply, provided they possess the discipline, adaptability, and eagerness to learn in a professional QC setting.
• Proficiency in basic computer applications such as MS Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, along with familiarity in laboratory information management systems (LIMS) or other laboratory software, to ensure accurate recording, reporting, and data analysis.
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively in a team-based environment and interact with colleagues, supervisors, and cross-functional departments.
• Highly organized, detail-oriented, and results-driven, with the capability to work independently under minimal supervision while maintaining accuracy and adherence to deadlines.

Duties and Responsibilities:

• Conduct routine and non-routine laboratory testing of raw materials, in-process samples, finished goods, and stability samples to ensure compliance with established specifications, company standards, and regulatory requirements. This includes chemical, physical, and instrumental analyses.
• Operate, maintain, and perform minor troubleshooting of laboratory instruments and equipment such as pH meters, UV-Vis spectrophotometers, titrators, balances, and other analytical tools, ensuring they are in proper working condition and reporting malfunctions promptly to the QC Supervisor.
• Prepare reagents, calibration standards, and standard solutions following precise laboratory procedures and good documentation practices, ensuring accuracy, traceability, and compliance with safety protocols.
• Maintain and update Technical Data Sheets (TDS), analytical records, and laboratory documents while preparing timely and accurate reports of all test results to support batch release, product quality monitoring, and compliance requirements.
• Assist in the development, qualification, and validation of new analytical test methods, ensuring adherence to industry guidelines (ICH, USP, BP, or other pharmacopeial standards), and actively participate in method transfers or continuous improvement initiatives.
• Ensure the laboratory remains safe, clean, and well-organized, strictly following Good Laboratory Practices (GLP), safety regulations, and environmental health standards to minimize risks and maintain operational excellence.
• Perform calibration, verification, and preventive maintenance of laboratory instruments, pipettes, balances, and volumetric glassware in accordance with schedules, ensuring accuracy, reliability, and compliance with quality standards.
• Monitor, record, and maintain the proper use and inventory of reagents, standards, and chemicals, including the upkeep of reagent inventory logs and bin cards, to ensure accurate traceability and sufficient stock levels at all times.
• Actively participate in internal and external audits, proficiency testing, and continuous improvement programs, demonstrating accountability and commitment to upholding regulatory and company quality standards.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including Production, R&D, and QA to resolve quality-related issues, provide technical input for investigations of non-conformances, and support the resolution of customer complaints through laboratory testing and root cause analysis.
