Chemical Packaging Technician (Liquid Filling & Labeling)

Location: Princeton, NJ

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.
