Microbiology QC Specialist – Join Our Lab Legends
Location: Rantoul | Department: Quality Control | Experience: 5+ Years
Put your science skills to work where quality meets curiosity.


What You'll Be Doing
You're not just running tests—you’re safeguarding products and ensuring our formulas meet the highest standards. In this role, you will:

  • Perform microbiological testing on water, raw materials, bulk, and finished products

  • Interpret results, investigate issues, and follow up with additional testing when needed

  • Conduct challenge testing and report results to R&D

  • Monitor the plant environment and report findings

  • Maintain best practices in lab safety and documentation

  • Communicate micro issues that could impact production or compliance

  • Supervise Micro Lab Technician(s) and manage lab supply inventory

  • Pitch in on other quality-related tasks as assigned


What You Bring to the Bench

  • Bachelor’s degree in Biology, Chemistry, Microbiology, or a related field

  • 5+ years of QC microbiology experience in consumer products (cosmetic, food, or pharma preferred)

  • Solid understanding of microbiology techniques per FDA, CTFA, and other standards

  • Strong algebra skills and a knack for problem-solving

  • Clear communication skills, both written and verbal

  • Proficiency with PCs, spreadsheets, and word processing

  • Well-organized, detail-oriented, and ready to lead


You Should Also Be Able To:

  • Lift 20 lbs overhead

  • Write legibly (yes, really — we still read your notes)


Why This Role Matters
We make quality consumer products that people trust—and you’ll help ensure they’re safe, effective, and always up to standard. If you're ready to lead in the lab, collaborate with a sharp team, and grow your impact, this is the place.
