• Dry and grind raw materials using the ball mill
  

• Keep materials and tools organized and assist in maintaining inventory
  

• Ensure a clean, safe, and well-maintained laboratory environment
  

• Oversee the inhouse batch making process and ensure the accurate mixing according to design requirements
