Who we are:

For over 25 years, ZEINpharma has stood for premium-quality micronutrients. Today, our product portfolio comprises over 170 products – from vitamins, minerals, and enzymes to patented specialty active ingredients. As a family-owned company, we value select ingredients, the highest purity, and the formulation of our products based on the latest scientific findings. Development and manufacturing take place in-house at our company headquarters in Nauheim, Hesse – for customers in Germany and worldwide.

We're looking for creative, intelligent, and experienced individuals who want to join us in sharing the daily benefits of improved health.

Your role:

Quality begins long before a product reaches our customers. As a member of the quality control team, you ensure that our raw materials and products meet our high quality standards – both in the laboratory and directly in production.

  • Support with raw material and product release, as well as organization and shipment of samples to external testing laboratories.
  • Hygiene monitoring and regular production tours to check hygiene, quality and process standards.
  • Identifying, documenting and reporting quality deviations in close cooperation with production and quality assurance.

Your profile:

  • Completed training as a chemical or biological laboratory technician, CTA, BTA, PTA or comparable scientific qualification – alternatively, initial professional experience in quality control or production at a food, pharmaceutical or dietary supplement company; career starters and career changers are very welcome.
  • Careful, structured and reliable work ethic with a strong awareness of quality and hygiene
  • Proficient in MS Office; experience with ERP or laboratory systems is an advantage.
  • Good German skills, both spoken and written, as well as the ability to work in a team
