We recognize and appreciate the value and contributions of individuals from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences and welcome all qualified individuals to apply.
Job Summary
We are currently seeking a PFAS LC-MS/MS Analyst (Environmental Chemistry). This position is an on-site opportunity located in Norwell, Massachusetts.
Battelle's Norwell Analytical Chemistry Services (ACS) Laboratory is a nationally recognized environmental chemistry laboratory specializing in non-routine and complex analyses for government and industrial clients since 1980. This role supports high-complexity PFAS analyses conducted in accordance with EPA Methods 1633A, 533, and 537.1.
The successful candidate will demonstrate initiative, technical excellence, and the ability to work independently within a regulated, quality-driven laboratory environment. This role directly supports Battelle's mission to deliver high-confidence, defensible PFAS data for environmental decision-making.
Responsibilities
As an LC MS/MS Analyst - PFAS / Environmental Chemistry, the selected individual will perform advanced PFAS analyses across complex environmental matrices while maintaining rigorous data quality and regulatory compliance. Responsibilities may include:
  • Perform PFAS sample analysis in environmental and drinking water matrices using LC MS/MS in accordance with EPA Methods 1633A, 533, and 537.1, including aqueous, solid, and complex matrices as applicable.
  • Support method optimization, validation activities, and technical problem-solving related to PFAS analysis, matrix complexity, and evolving regulatory requirements.
  • Review analytical data for compliance with method acceptance criteria; evaluate accuracy, precision, recovery, and interference; and identify potential contamination or system-derived PFAS issues.
  • Generate complete, audit-defensible PFAS data packages, including qualitative and quantitative evaluation, QC summaries, and narrative documentation of deviations, troubleshooting, or corrective actions.
  • Operate, monitor, troubleshoot, and perform routine maintenance on LC MS/MS systems, including mitigation of PFAS background contamination (e.g., reagent, solvent, or system contributions).
  • Execute and document all method-required QC elements, including ICV/CCV, laboratory control samples (LCS), matrix spikes (MS/MSD), surrogates, internal standard performance, and field and laboratory blanks.
  • Prepare calibration standards, isotope-labeled internal standards, surrogates, laboratory control samples, and method blanks following method-specific requirements and project plans.
  • Prepare and process PFAS data using MultiQuant, Analyst, or Sciex OS software and enter results and observations into LIMS.
  • Perform moderately complex calculations and data manipulation in support of reporting limits, detection limits, and client-specific deliverables.
  • Track analytical progress against project milestones and communicate scheduling, technical, or data quality risks to the supervisor or project manager.

Key Qualifications
  • Associate degree in Chemistry or a related field with 10 years of analytical laboratory experience, including trace-level environmental analysis.
  • Demonstrated hands-on experience with LC MS/MS PFAS analysis, including isotope dilution techniques and ultra-trace quantitation.
  • Strong working knowledge of EPA Methods 1633A, 533, and/or 537.1, including QC requirements, acceptance criteria, and contamination control practices.
  • Experience working in a regulated, quality-system laboratory environment producing legally and scientifically defensible data.
  • Must be a sole U.S. Citizen

Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience analyzing PFAS in non-routine or complex matrices (e.g., wastewater, leachate, soil, biosolids).
  • Familiarity with PFAS method development or multi-method PFAS program support.
