Your duties include taking a sample within a specified period to analyze product quality using various tests, such as to measure acidity and composition. You also inspect product based on compliance and standards set by your company, the industry, and government. Additional responsibilities include the transfer of product to storage tanks and ensuring all equipment is up to code to avoid spills and contamination.
