Quality Technician – Production and Warehouse
Quality Technician – Production and Warehouse
Location: Mahwah, NJ 07430
Job Type: Full‑Time, In‑Person
Overview
We are seeking a motivated and detail‑oriented Quality Technician – Production and Warehouse to support quality, production, laboratory, and warehouse operations related to the preparation and evaluation of substrates used by Paint and Coatings companies for drawdowns, color testing, and application trials.
This role is hands‑on and integrated into daily manufacturing and material handling activities. The Quality Technician inspects incoming materials, performs quality checks during multiple stages of production, verifies finished goods prior to shipment, and completes defined operational checks while actively supporting production runs and warehouse operations.
This position is well suited for candidates interested in quality control, manufacturing, and hands‑on production work within an industrial environment. Some exposure to basic laboratory concepts or chemistry can be helpful when inspecting materials and supporting lab‑related activities; however, the role focuses on visual, process‑based, and operational checks of materials during receiving, production, and final preparation rather than analytical or research‑driven chemistry work.

- Gather, prepare and mail out samples
General Responsibilities
- Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work environment
- Follow all safety, quality, and material handling procedures
- Work independently or as part of a cross‑functional production and quality team

- Basic mechanical aptitude and willingness to learn equipment and processes
- Ability to perform routine measurements, unit conversions, and data entry accurately
