Job Description

What your day looks like

You arrive to a clean, organized workspace, gear up with the right PPE, and sync up with teammates before jumping into a series of precisely executed liquid chemical pack-outs. You’ll validate materials by scanning, select the correct calibrated scale, and use a weight-assisted computer to hit exact targets. As you fill and close containers, you’ll label them with the right size and placement, discard any misprints, properly crimp closures, and apply tamper-evident seals. Throughout the shift, you’ll keep SAP and our Manufacturing Execution System up to date—recording actual yield, scrap, and confirming delivery quantities.

Core responsibilities

• Weigh and fill liquid chemical materials following recipes and work instructions with high accuracy.
• Execute packing procedures, including scanning for material validation, precision weighing via a weight-assisted computer, verifying and using the correct scales, and performing scale checks.
• Operate digital tools: Weight Assisted Computer, Manufacturing Execution System, and SAP.
• In SAP, inventory containers, record total actual packed, confirm pack-out and scrap, and ensure delivery quantities match confirmed amounts.
• Print/reprint labels; choose label sizes that match container types; place labels correctly; dispose of extra or ruined labels per protocol.
• Close and secure containers by crimping and applying tamper-evidence seals.
• Maintain strict safety practices, housekeeping standards, and PPE use at all times.

• Explore unique careers across health, nutrition, and beauty—follow what motivates you and get support to make it real.
• Contribute to products that touch millions daily, with sustainability built into how we operate.
• Join a science-led, creative organization—biotech innovation to sustainability advances—working on what’s next.
• Grow with an industry leader committed to building your expertise and leadership.
• Experience a culture of collaboration, shared wins, and teammates who lift each other up.
• Be heard—your perspective directly shapes how we serve customers.
