About Us.
Nice-Pak is more than just a Nice Place to Work, and we owe it to our amazing team of nice people to ensure we are hiring new team members who can do more than just meet expectations. We aim to hire excellence.
At Nice-Pak, we manufacture products that touch (literally!) a person's every stage of life - from birth through adulthood into retirement - and worldwide! We are a leading manufacturer of wipes for major grocery, discount, drug, big box, and club membership retailers, and we care deeply about our associates and customers. We care about our environment, too, which is why we stand by our commitment to sustainably source the materials that make our wipes work and support sustainable forestry through education and community engagement.
We live by our purpose of Helping our world stay healthy and well, and it's important to us that each time we add someone to our Nice-Pak family, we do so with our purpose statement in mind so we can achieve a workforce as special as our customer base.
About the Job.Why This Job is Important. The Quality Assurance Analyst is a technical position that supports the Quality Assurance Supervisor, the production floor, and the analytical lab, enabling us to make the highest quality of wipes for our customers. This important position supports operations on manufacturing value streams to ensure every run is of the highest quality every day so that our customers' shelves stay full - and so their customers can buy the wipes they need for their baby, teenager, signicant other or parent (or even their pet!) when they need to. It's a big deal.
Our best Quality Assurance Analysts are masters of juggling many things at once and know manufacturing basics like quality (cGMP) standards, proper documentation (cGDP) standards, and ISO and CFR standards. We also prefer that each Quality Assurance Analyst has experience in a chemistry or biology lab. Secondary education in a science-related field is also preferred but not required.
We expect our QA Analysts to be professional, results and performance-oriented, highly engaged in the business, and be able to drive engagement within their teams.
What You Can Expect. As a QA Analyst, you would be responsible for inspecting products, providing support, and ensuring all associates have what they need, whether documentation, questions answered, or materials released, to ensure your shift produces the top-quality wipes it should. You also would work closely and partner with cross-functional leaders from the Safety, Operations, Maintenance, Compounding, and Warehouse departments.
Priorities are keeping coworkers safe, products correct, and customers happy. Our QA Analysts must always "think safe" and anticipate production needs to eliminate downtime, eliminate Non-conformance, and ensure the right products are produced at the right time with the right quality and cost.
Other day-to-day recurring responsibilities include working with spreadsheets, reports, emails, batch analytical testing, raw material testing and finished good testing. The QA Analyst communicates to leadership through data using various shift reports to detail the successes and challenges the quality team is experiencing. We expect all of our QA Analysts to anticipate challenges and solve problems creatively.
What We Expect from You in the Role.
With over 900,000 square feet of combined warehouse and manufacturing space, our QA Analysts must be able to stand and walk for much of the day. On other days, there are Analytical Testing and desk work, which requires sitting for long periods of time. Sometimes, they may need to stretch, bend, squat, climb, or lift up to 50 pounds to complete a task.
This is what you can count on from us:
The non-negotiable things.
