Job description

Quality Control Laboratory Technician, Polymer Compounding

Picture your first morning with us: you step into a clean, fast-moving production lab, review overnight batch data, and get hands-on with tests that keep our custom compounds on spec. You fine-tune batches using standardized procedures, verify raw materials, and study trends that guide precise color adjustments—all while collaborating with production to keep manufacturing running smoothly.

About Teknor Apex

What began in 1924 as Alfred Fain’s small Rhode Island tire store has grown into a global custom compounder serving customers around the world. Still privately held and led by the founder’s grandson, Teknor Apex operates nine U.S. sites with additional facilities in Belgium, Singapore, Germany, and China. Our family ownership fuels long-term relationships—with employees and customers alike—that power better, customized material solutions.
