Are you passionate about sustainability and innovation in materials science? Do you thrive on taking ideas from lab-scale experiments to real-world manufacturing? If so, this could be the perfect opportunity to advance your career and make a tangible impact.
A leading innovator in sustainable materials is looking for a Chemical Engineer / Scale-Up Engineer to join their forward-thinking R&D team. This role is ideal for someone with a strong background in chemical or process engineering who is excited to work on the cutting edge of regenerative, low-carbon textile solutions. As a key member of the R&D team, you’ll be responsible for scaling up new processes and products from the laboratory through pilot trials and into full-scale manufacturing. Your work will directly contribute to the development of next-generation sustainable materials that reduce environmental impact and reshape the future of textiles.
In this role, you will lead the scale-up of novel processes and products, working closely with internal teams and external partners to ensure smooth transition from concept to commercialisation. You will optimise process parameters, manage projects, troubleshoot operational challenges, and collaborate with suppliers and academic institutions to co-develop scalable and sustainable manufacturing solutions. A critical part of your job will be working closely with production teams to ensure efficient technology transfer and successful integration into manufacturing environments.

We’re looking for someone with a degree in Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Materials Science, or Process Engineering, ideally with a focus on process development or scale-up. You’ll have up to three years of experience in process engineering, manufacturing, or scale-up roles, and bring a practical, data-driven approach to problem-solving. Your ability to interpret technical results, refine processes, and work collaboratively in a research and development setting will be essential.

This is a full-time, onsite role based in North Cambridgeshire, offering a competitive salary of £30,000 to £40,000, plus a 10% annual bonus. You’ll also receive 25 days of holiday (plus bank holidays), along with a comprehensive benefits package.
