Standardize lab procedures and recipe management systems to improve RFT. 3. Equipment & Testing Management: Operate, maintain, and calibrate dyeing lab equipment such as: o Infrared dyeing machines o Spectrophotometers (Datacolor/Minolta) o Fastness testing machines o GSM, shrinkage, and pH testing tools Introduce and implement best practices for equipment handling and testing protocols specific to polyester dyeing. 4. Lab Upgrade & Efficiency Enhancement: Identify gaps in current lab setup and recommend technology or equipment upgrades. Improve lab processes to reduce lead time, enhance accuracy, and reduce rework. Lead trials for new dyes, auxiliaries, and methods to enhance polyester dyeing results. 5. Documentation & Reporting: Maintain records of lab dips, test reports, and approved recipes. Generate RFT performance reports, lab-to-bulk deviation logs, and shade approval timelines. Ensure compliance with customer specifications, internal SOPs, and audit requirements. 6. Team Leadership & Coordination: Supervise lab assistants and junior chemists. Train lab personnel in shade matching, polyester dyeing techniques, and machine operation. Coordinate with marketing, production, and QA teams for shade approvals and technical support. Skills & Qualifications: Educational Qualification: Diploma / B.Tech in Textile Chemistry, Textile Technology, or related field. Experience: 8-10 years of experience in dyeing lab operations, with a strong focus on polyester dyeing. Technical Expertise: o In-depth knowledge of disperse dyes and polyester dyeing behavior. o Strong command over color matching, spectrophotometer usage, and fastness testing. o Ability to troubleshoot lab-to-bulk mismatches and process inefficiencies. Other Skills: o Proficient in lab management software and shade libraries. o Excellent organizational, analytical, and leadership skills. o Strong coordination abilities with cross-functional teams.
