ABOUT THE LAB TECH POSITION:


Position Type: Full Time Employee (30-40 hrs/week)

Job Title: Spagyric Herbal Extract Lab Tech

Location: Deming, Washington United States

Salary Level: starting at $20/hr

We've been manufacturing herbal extracts according to the European alchemical tradition since 2010 on a small scale and are looking for someone to help us run our lab.

The lab tech position involves the following roles and responsibilities:

  • Extraction of fresh and dried herbs via maceration

  • Distillation of volatile oils

  • Fermentation of extracted plant materials

  • Calcination, dissolution, and crystallization of alkali mineral salts

  • Compounding herbal formulas

  • Maintaining quality assurance and quality control

  • Tracking all lab activities on logs, batch records, and forms

  • Maintaining inventory and stock

  • Packaging and shipping orders

  • Managing customer questions and maintaining inbox

  • Harvesting fresh herbs from our herb garden

  • Gardening tasks to maintain herb garden


We're a small, family run business, and as such there are a lot of "hats" to wear, so  while focused on keeping the medicine making going, this position also involves keeping orders moving and doing a bit of customer support.

Our ideal applicant has the following qualities:

  • A love and passion for herbal medicine and medicine making

  • A background and training in herbalism

  • A knack for plant ID, pharmacognosy, and meticulous extraction methods

  • Training in alchemy and spagyrics is a major plus, but is not necessary. An interest or curiosity to learn more about the subject is important

  • Vigilant organization, cleanliness, and attention to detail

  • Ability to follow step-by-step operational procedures

  • Physical capacity to lift heavy objects (an 8 gallon bucket of water for example) used for processing & packaging herbs

  • Knowledge of cGMP regulations is a major plus

  • Positive, focused and patient temperament

  • Excels at working alone and with a small team

  • Willingness to work in a rural environment (we're about 45 minutes outside of Bellingham, Washington)
