Maintain and ensure lab areas and equipment are clean, organized, and stocked, specifically weighing and staging materials, verifying labels and lot numbers, sample tracking, inventory checks, restocking, and 5S or line-clearance activities. Set up, monitor, and clean lab equipment, such as hydration and mixing, material transfer, gel grinding, oven loading and unloading, sieving, surface treatment, tanks, heat exchanger, mixers, mills, and production containers.
