This is a great opportunity to make a real impact — combining technical fieldwork, applied chemistry, and collaboration with a dynamic commercial team. Be part of our journey toward a greener, smarter, and more sustainable future.

Role Overview

As a Senior R&D Formulator, you will lead the development of specialty chemical formulations (e.g., water treatment, maintenance/process chemicals) from concept to commercial readiness—covering formulation design, laboratory testing, application validation in the field, and scale‑up support—while upholding quality, safety, and regulatory compliance.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and optimize formulations to meet performance, safety, cost, and sustainability (green compliance) targets.
• Prepare and execute test plans (screening–basic DOE–stability–compatibility), analyze results, and make go/no‑go recommendations.
• Produce technical documentation: tech packs/formula sheets, TDS (Technical Data Sheet), COA templates, and inputs for SDS/labeling per regulations.
• Manage application trials with customers (focused and well‑documented); collaborate with Sales/Technical Service.
• Coordinate with QA/QC, Manufacturing, and Supply Chain for technology transfer of formulations, raw materials, and process parameters (pilot → production).
• Maintain data traceability (lab notebook/ELN, raw‑material logs, lab batches) and integrity of retain samples.
• Identify alternate raw‑material suppliers; evaluate performance and cost‑in‑use.
• Comply with EHS (PPE, LOTO, chemical & waste handling) and implement 5S/housekeeping in the lab.
• Contribute to the product roadmap and continuous improvement.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering or Chemistry (Science).
• 3–5 years of experience as a Formulator/Researcher in specialty chemicals.
• Solid grasp of formulation science (e.g., surfactants/additives, corrosion/scale control, dispersants, inhibitors) and relevant performance testing.
• Able to design tests using basic DOE, strong analytical ability, and capable of producing clear technical reports.
• Understanding of SDS/labeling, chemical regulations basics, and QA/QC practices.
• Collaborative, meticulous in documentation, safety‑disciplined, and comfortable working cross‑functionally and with customers (field trials).

Nice to Have (not mandatory)
