Job title- Chemist
Location- Springdale PA 15144
Shift- 7AM-9AM start time .
Contract -6 months
Pay rate –$25/hr/w2
we’re looking for two contract chemists. The hours are pretty flexible, but starting between 7-9AM, working until 3:30-5:30 PM
A recent college grad with a chemistry degree would be a likely candidate, so 0-3 years’ experience seems right. They don’t need to have industry experience, but if they did, that would be great.
Our hope is to be able to hire one or possibly both of these people to permanent positions, and we’d like to have that decided by year end.
