ZimbabweWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Detail-oriented Analytical Chemistry graduate with hands-on experience in SANAS-accredited (ISO 17025) and FSSC 22000-compliant laboratories. I’ve built a strong foundation in chemical synthesis, material testing, and data analysis across the pharmaceutical, food packaging, and recycling industries—while staying consistently focused on rigorous safety and regulatory compliance.
In my current role as a Quality Analyst at ALPLA Recycling, I perform daily quality control tests on recycled PET flakes and pellets, manage water treatment quality through COD testing and jar test optimization, and maintain ISO 17025 compliance for testing procedures. I document quality metrics and prepare detailed reports to support food-grade material certification and regulatory submissions, bringing accuracy and clarity to every dataset and report.
