Looking for a Technical Support Specialist for Automotive Lubricants and Oil

initialgemini · 10-25-2011, 07:41 PM

Hi Socal folk! I thought I'd reach out to some forum members about a job opportunity I'm recruiting for.

I'm looking for a bright recent grad in Chemistry, Material Sciences, Chemical Engineering, or related with 0-1 years industry experience with oils and lubricants.

The position requires basic wet chemistry lab work; however, the majority of duties will involve analyzing test data (ie. performing studies, comparing rival products, and analyzing samples) to develop technical sales tools and datasheets. Other responsibilities include technical support for racers, drifters, mechanics, and other clients. Also, the position will require attending trade shows/promotional events, and internet promotions through the forums.

I've posted the job description below. For those of you who are interest please contact me directly for further information, as I am the recruiter for the opening. I will not answer questions about pay, company location, company name until I have resume on hand. Interested candidates can send their resumes to Chris.Quevedo@Labsupport.com

Not sure if this is allowable, you might want to PM AK370Z or admin just to be safe.

Good luck in the hunt.

Yeah I just did. I didn't see anything in the rules about it since it is a job offering.

Hopefully, its okay since I wanted to share it with forum members, and if someone from the forum did get hired they would set themselves up as vendor...

Cool. Too bad I'm not in that field otherwise I'd be applying

I may not be a Chem. Engineer, but if you still need a forum face for vending I would be interested.

Has to be chemical engineering? What about a general engineering degree?

General engineering is fine, but the person must have experience with oils, lubricants, and engines.
