Production Chemist Role & Responsibilities

A Production Chemist is responsible for managing and monitoring chemical manufacturing processes to ensure products are made safely, efficiently, consistently, and according to quality standards.

Key Responsibilities

• Operate and monitor chemical production processes, reactors, mixers, centrifuges, filtration systems, dryers, etc.
• Follow Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), batch manufacturing records, and safety procedures.
• Weigh, dispense, and charge raw materials according to approved formulas and batch instructions.
• Monitor critical process parameters such as temperature, pressure, pH, reaction time, flow rate, and agitation.
• Collect and test in-process samples and coordinate with the Quality Control (QC) laboratory.
• Maintain accurate batch records, logbooks, production reports, and material consumption records.
• Identify process deviations, abnormalities, or equipment problems and report them to supervisors/QA.
• Ensure production activities comply with GMP, EHS, and company safety requirements, where applicable.
• Coordinate with QC, QA, maintenance, warehouse, and engineering teams to maintain smooth production.
• Ensure proper cleaning of production equipment and prevent cross-contamination.
• Monitor production yield, productivity, and material losses.
• Assist with process optimization, troubleshooting, and scale-up activities.
• Ensure proper handling, storage, and disposal of chemicals and production waste.
• Follow PPE and chemical-handling requirements and participate in safety initiatives.
• Support investigations related to batch failures, deviations, OOS results, and process abnormalities.
• Train or guide junior operators/chemists on production procedures when required.

Typical Skills Required

• Knowledge of organic/inorganic chemistry and chemical processing
• Understanding of GMP, GLP, SOPs, and EHS
• Batch manufacturing and documentation skills
• Chemical reaction and process troubleshooting
• Basic analytical techniques and laboratory knowledge
• Good communication and teamwork
• Ability to work in shifts, depending on the plant

In short: A Production Chemist converts raw materials into finished/intermediate products while controlling the process, maintaining documentation, ensuring safety, and meeting required quality and production targets.
