“BASF is committed to attracting and keeping top talent, and we are a company where you can grow your career, whether that means you would like to broaden and deepen your skillset or to expand into a managerial role,” said Elba Lizardi, Site Director for BASF in Seneca.
Most of the open positions do not require a college degree and are seeking applicants with a high school diploma or GED, although prior experience in manufacturing is useful.

“If you are looking for a career that brings you stability, a safe working environment, a focus on sustainability, a commitment to our community, and an atmosphere of collaboration, BASF is a great place to find your calling,” said Jerome Kirkland, Site Manager for BASF in Converse.
Both BASF sites are specialty chemical catalysts manufacturing and precious metals refining facilities.
