Compounding & Blending Technician (GMP)

Austin Community College, Miami, FL, United States


Location:

South Florida (Broward/Miami-Dade/Palm Beach)
Type:

Full-time (open to recent grads / early career)
Schedule:

[Mon–Fri, 8am–4:30pm] (flexible within production needs)
Reports to:

Production Manager / QA Manager
Works closely with:

Part-time Senior Formulator (project-based), QA/QC, Warehouse

Role Summary
This is a

hands‑on manufacturing role

focused on

weighing, mixing/blending, and GMP documentation . You will follow SOPs and Master Batch Records to compound supplement formulas accurately, safely, and consistently. This role is ideal for a

local science graduate

(chemistry/biology/food science/biotech) who wants stable growth into GMP manufacturing, QA systems, and production leadership.

Key Responsibilities
Accurately

weigh raw materials

using calibrated scales and follow specified tolerances.

Execute

Master Batch Records (MBRs)

exactly as written (no improvising).

Prepare

pre‑blends

and operate blending/mixing equipment as trained.

Perform in‑process checks (appearance, weights, yields) and elevate issues immediately.

Assist with

encapsulation / filling / packaging support

as needed (cross‑trained).

GMP Documentation & Compliance
Complete batch documentation clearly and in real time (legible, complete, correct).

Verify component identity, lot numbers, and status labels before use.

Support

line clearance , material reconciliation, and controlled document handling.

Follow data integrity principles (no backdating, no “pencil whipping,” correct corrections only).

Sanitation / Safety
Follow cleaning SOPs, allergen/cross‑contamination controls, and gowning procedures.

Maintain organized, clean work areas (5S mindset).

Follow PPE requirements and safety rules; report hazards or deviations.

Suggest practical improvements that increase accuracy, reduce waste, and improve flow.

Participate in training and periodic internal audits.

What Success Looks Like (90 Days)
Executes weighing + blending steps

independently

with minimal supervision.

Produces batch records that pass QA review with

very low documentation errors .

Consistently follows SOPs and escalates deviations early (before mistakes compound).

Demonstrates reliable cleanliness, organization, and GMP mindset.

Required Qualifications
AA/AS or BS in

Chemistry, Biochemistry, Biology, Food Science, Biotechnology

(or similar)

OR

equivalent hands‑on experience in GMP / food / pharma manufacturing.

Strong attention to detail and comfort with routine, structured processes.

Basic math skills (weights, unit conversions, percentages).

Comfortable working in a production environment (powders, PPE, standing/walking).

Preferred Qualifications
6–24 months experience in

GMP, food manufacturing, pharma, cosmetics, or supplement production

Familiarity with batch records, SOPs, deviations, CAPA, basic QA concepts.

Forklift experience (optional).

Work involves powders and strong sanitation practices; PPE required.

Why This Role Is Unique
You’ll learn true

GMP manufacturing

and become the “core” daily operator for compounding.

You’ll collaborate with a

Senior Formulator (part‑time, project‑based)

who handles formula development/optimization—so you can focus on excellent execution and scaling.

Hourly:

$[18–22]/hr depending on experience (growth path available)
