Work Environment

This role involves work in semiconductor manufacturing, cleanroom, industrial, chemical-process, construction, and facility-support environments. The Chemical Technician may work around chemical delivery systems, piping networks, process support equipment, pumps, valves, filtration equipment, and related infrastructure.

The position requires following strict safety procedures, wearing required personal protective equipment, maintaining cleanroom and site standards, and responding to changing operational or project needs. Work may involve climbing and working at height with fall-protection equipment, manual handling of delivery-system components, and repetitive gripping, pulling, positioning, and reaching. Some material-handling equipment may be available for moving materials; certain delivery-system covers must be operated manually. The Chemical Technician must be comfortable working in an active field environment while maintaining accurate documentation and supporting safe, reliable system operations.

Physical Requirements

Physical tasks vary with operating and maintenance needs. Tanker and lorry operations are recurring duties and may be repeated throughout a shift. As site operations expand, the role may also include container changes, filter replacements, sampling, and related material-handling duties. The timing and frequency of these additional activities will depend on operating and maintenance schedules.

The role may require the technician to:

• Climb to and work at approximately one-story height while using required fall-protection equipment.
• Manually open or close hinged tanker covers weighing approximately 44–77 pounds when a mechanical assist is not available. This task involves lifting or pulling the cover into position.
• Handle delivery connections and components weighing approximately 11–22 pounds.
• As additional operations are introduced, handle process containers weighing up to approximately 44 pounds and filter components or housings weighing up to approximately 13 pounds.
• Grip, pull, push, position, reach, and maintain balance while working at height and wearing required PPE.
• Stand, walk, bend, climb, and use hand tools during an active shift.

The weights above describe the approximate weight of the item or assembly being handled; the force required to move an item may vary by equipment design and position. Follow site procedures and use approved material-handling equipment when available.
