Job Description:

Field Chemist

Apex Systems is seeking a Field Chemist for one of our clients based out of Albany, NY. This role is designed for individuals who prefer active, hands-on work. As a Field Chemist, you’ll work directly at customer sites—handling, identifying, and preparing chemical materials for safe transport and disposal.

If you enjoy working with your hands, being in different environments, and tackling real-world challenges, this is an opportunity to build a meaningful and practical skillset. If you or anyone you know would be interested in this position or would like to learn more, please apply now or send all resumes to [email protected]

What You’ll Be Doing

Travel to industrial, laboratory, and academic sites to perform chemical packing and waste services
Sort, identify, and package chemical materials based on hazard class and compatibility
Perform lab pack operations in the field—this is not a bench or research lab role
Load trucks with required equipment and materials for daily assignments
Prepare shipping documentation and manifests in accordance with regulations
Assist with on-site material identification and characterization
Ensure proper labeling, placarding, and safe transportation practices
Work closely with Field Technicians and Drivers to complete projects efficiently
Communicate with site contacts to ensure smooth, professional service

This role is:

Hands-on and physically active
Field-based, working at different customer locations
Focused on real-world application of science and safety practices

Required Qualifications:

Background in a science-related field (Chemistry, Environmental Science, or similar)
Comfort with hands-on, physical work and field environments
Strong attention to detail with a safety-first mindset
Willingness to learn specialized skills in chemical handling and lab packing
Reliable, adaptable, and able to work as part of a team
Strong communication skills when working with team members and customers
Associate’s degree required; Bachelor’s degree preferred
Valid driver’s license
Ability to obtain a Class B CDL with Hazmat endorsement within a defined timeframe
Ability to meet motor vehicle record standards
Must be clean-shaven when required to safely wear a respirator

Why This Role Stands Out

Work in real-world environments, not just controlled lab settings
Build specialized, hands-on experience from day one
Develop practical skills that are highly transferable across industries
Be part of a team that values safety, reliability, and problem-solving
