Permanent – on site

A high-level graduate (BSc, MSc) of Chemistry with an interest or experience in synthetic chemistry is urgently required as a Chemist within process and manufacturing for a global company. With (preferably) industrial experience you will embark on activities including lab work (including synthesis and analysis), sample analysis, coordinating requests for blending and external analysis, lab safety improvements, product quality investigations, report writing and analytical evaluation of process changes at manufacturing plants.

As a Chemist, you will support delivery of improvements in areas of process optimisation, manufacturing capacity and flexibility, new product development and cost optimisation through laboratory work. You will also have opportunities to collaborate globally across other teams e.g Technology, Procurement and Manufacturing.

Key Responsibilities

• Planning and execution of experimental programmes and associated analytical testing
• Efficient and safe operation, ownership and modification of lab equipment for synthesis and analysis

• Documentation of experimental results and learnings through knowledge management
• Enhanced problem solving, collaboration and influencing skills

Qualifications, Knowledge and Experience Required:

• BSc or MSc in Chemistry, Process chemistry, Industrial chemistry, Synthetic chemistry or Materials Science or Polymer science.
• Good process/pilot plant or manufacturing chemistry background (preferably), but not exclusively in the synthetic organic and/or analytical or polymer fields.
• Strong technical competencies with an aptitude for practical laboratory and/or pilot plant work and organic synthesis; experience in analytical chemistry techniques (LC/GC) would be an advantage.
• Diligence to accurately manage test results, technical information, and lab records, combined with the ability to interpret data and make recommendations.
• Preferably experience in an industrial setting – manufacturing, production, or pilot plant setting.
• Manufacturing plant experience is desirable but not essential.
