Monitor chemical processes Chemical technicians are responsible for testing the quality of different products to meet compliance standards and specifications, analyzing compounds to test the concentration of different substances, and observing chemical processes for safety and analysis.
Troubleshoot problems Sometimes equipment or processes may malfunction, or a chemical solution may not behave in the way it was expected to. During these occasions, chemical technicians look at what the issue may be and find a solution to fix the problem.
Set up laboratory equipment In preparation for experiments, chemical technicians set up the necessary laboratory equipment and ensure that the equipment and the work area are cleaned thoroughly afterward. This can sometimes involve preparing chemical solutions, as well as ensuring that hazardous materials are removed once the experiment is over.
Conduct experiments Chemical technicians carry out tests on different solutions, compounds, or products to analyze them for a variety of purposes, including research and development. This data informs future processes and whether or not the product is safe to use.
Create technical reports Once experiments have been carried out, chemical technicians produce technical guidance and reports on their findings, both for their immediate team and superiors and for other departments that might not have technical knowledge. This may involve giving presentations on their findings.
