Yolk Recruitment is exclusively partnered with this leading manufacturing business to recruit a degree calibre candidate with a strong foundation in Chemistry for a role that blends chemistry, sustainability and environmental compliance, and product development.
This is an opportunity to develop a career in a high value field, that commonly has few entry level points. The business provides a proven development pathway, working alongside experts in the field to develop knowledge and capability, with increasing autonomy, responsibility and development ahead in line with your abilities as they grow.
You'll learn how global environmental and sustainability requirements effect product development and manufacturing, and develop expertise in ensuring products are genuinely environmentally responsible and globally compliant.
This isn't a hands on chemistry role, it's a desk-based technical position where your scientific understanding, research ability, judgement and attention to detail will matter.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
