• Mix and manufacture batches using industrial mixing and production equipment

• Follow formulations precisely to ensure consistency and product quality

• Monitor batches throughout the manufacturing process

• Conduct and record required in-process quality checks

• Identify and report batch variations or production issues

• Accurately complete batch records, material usage and production documentation

• Transfer finished products into IBCs, drums and other designated containers

• Correctly label and identify finished products

• Set up, clean and maintain mixing vessels and production equipment

• Maintain a clean, safe and organised manufacturing environment

• Work closely with Production and Quality teams to achieve daily manufacturing schedules

• Follow all WHS, quality and environmental procedures

• Ability to accurately follow written batch instructions, quantities and production procedures

• Strong understanding of manufacturing safety and chemical handling

• High level of accuracy and attention to detail

• Ability to complete production and batch documentation correctly

• Good communication skills and ability to work effectively within a production team

• Current Victorian Driver’s Licence

• Current LF Forklift Licence

Applicants without previous hands-on chemical batching/manufacturing experience will not be considered for this position.

Highly Regarded

• Experience manufacturing specialty or industrial chemicals

• Experience working with IBCs, drums and bulk raw materials

• Dangerous Goods handling experience

• Knowledge of GMP, HACCP, ISO or similar quality systems

• Experience using ERP or manufacturing systems
