Job description

Shape better products with Teknor Apex

Nearly a century ago, Alfred Fain opened a small Rhode Island tire shop. From those roots, Teknor Apex has grown into a global custom compounder with nine U.S. sites and operations in Belgium, Singapore, Germany, and China—still privately held and led by the Fain family.

Step into our QC lab on 1st shift and you’ll start your day with a queue of raw material and in-process samples. You’ll follow established methods to evaluate them, make precise batch adjustments, and document everything with care. Trendlines guide your decisions—especially around color—so you’ll spot shifts early and fine-tune to spec. Along the way, you’ll run gage R & R studies, communicate clearly with the shift supervisor, and keep production moving with confidence.

What you’ll do

  • Execute standardized tests on raw materials and in-process samples; record and report results.
  • Apply approved procedures to make batch adjustments; verify outcomes against targets.
  • Complete gage R & R studies and other assigned lab tasks to support quality systems.
  • Analyze complex numerical datasets; identify trends and adjust color accordingly.
  • Use Windows-based tools, MS Word/Excel/Outlook, Lotus Notes, and quality control software to manage data and communication.

What you bring

  • Strong math aptitude and keen attention to detail; comfortable interpreting complex data.
  • Ability to work 1st shift immediately; reliable attendance and dependability.
  • Clear written and verbal communication skills; collaborative with the shift supervisor.
  • Full color vision with shade discrimination; experience with color analysis and adjustment preferred.
  • Proficiency with Windows OS, Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook), Lotus Notes, and basic QC software.
  • Above-average decision-making; able to work independently and support overtime as needed.

Education/Experience

  • Associate degree in a science discipline; or 1–3 years of related color experience/training; or an equivalent blend of education and experience.
  • Background in manufacturing and warehouse environments is a plus.

Tools & technologies

  • Quality control software and standard lab instrumentation.

Perks & benefits

  • Medical, Dental, and Vision with very low deductibles.
  • Low-cost insurance with 85% of premiums paid by the company.
  • Wellness program with substantial medical premium discounts.
  • Up to 7% employer 401(k) contribution.
  • Paid Vacation and Paid Holidays.
  • Pay increases throughout the first year plus annual merit increases.
  • Employee Recognition Program with points redeemable for a wide range of products.

“Manufacturing is a team sport, and we work together to achieve our goals.” ~Jon Fain

Additional preferred proficiencies

  • Warehouse experience.
  • Manufacturing environment experience.
  • Basic computer skills.
