About Verdant Specialty Solutions

Verdant Specialty Solutions is a dynamic, innovation-driven specialty chemicals company with a global footprint. Born from the McIntyre Group of the 1970s and relaunched in 2021, Verdant combines the agility of a small business with the safety, reliability, and scale of a larger organization, offering personal attention backed by industry-leading manufacturing and technical capabilities. With over 375 product offerings, nine strategic sites across the U.S. and Europe, and a steadfast commitment to sustainability, compliance, and customer-centric solutions, Verdant brings functional chemistry to life safely, reliably, and responsively.

Are you a hands-on chemist who loves ensuring quality, safety, and operational excellence? Verdant Specialty Solutions, a global specialty chemical company serving world-leading consumer, industrial, and energy brands, is looking for a Quality Control Chemist to join our University Park team.

Why this role is exciting :

  • Play a key role in a fast-growing, start-up-like environment with global impact
  • Work with cutting-edge specialty surfactant chemistries for top-tier clients
  • Contribute directly to safety, quality, and operational excellence across multiple sites
  • Opportunities to grow professionally in a collaborative, innovative culture

What you will do :

  • Perform in-process, final product, and raw material analyses
  • Certify products for shipment and maintain accurate lab records
  • Collaborate with operators, engineers, and QC colleagues to optimize processes
  • Participate in process improvements, investigations, and quality initiatives
  • Maintain compliance with ISO 9001, EFfCI, GMP, RSPO, and HSSE standards
  • Operate lab systems (SAP) to track data, generate certificates, and manage inventories
  • Requirements

    What we are looking for :

  • Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Biology, or equivalent lab experience
  • Knowledge of wet and instrumental analyses, lab safety, and solution prep
  • Strong communication, attention to detail, and problem-solving skills
  • Ability to work independently and collaborate with cross-functional teams
  • Commitment to safety, quality, and compliance
  • GC, HPLC, IR, Karl Fischer, and micro lab experience is a plus
  • We have a steep learning curve, and the right candidate will need to know we are in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.

    Key Considerations :

  • Union position
  • Work Schedule : Enjoy a steady rotating 12-hour shift schedule that gives you built-in long weekends and extended time off every other week.
  • Week 1 : Monday, Tuesday, Friday, Saturday (48 hours)
  • Week 2 : Sunday, Wednesday, Thursday (36 hours)
  • Shifts rotate between days and nights about every 10 weeks, offering variety and balance.
  • This isn’t just a QC role, it’s your opportunity to shape quality, drive innovation, and grow your career in a global specialty chemicals company.

    Benefits

    Why you’ll love it here :

  • Competitive base pay ($24.75 / hr.), bonus potential.
  • Comprehensive benefits package including health, dental, vision, retirement savings, and generous PTO.
  • Career growth opportunities in a dynamic, expanding business. Our trainees typically see rapid development : many move from “C” Chemist to “B” Chemist in about 3 months, and by around 9 months are often working at or near the “A” Chemist level. While the pace of growth depends on the individual, those who reach “A” Chemist generally master all key testing procedures and gain hands-on experience with our most common products, building a strong foundation for continued advancement.
  • Ready to make your next move? Apply today and let’s win together.
