You'll have a degree or equivalent qualification in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering or a related discipline, together with experience or a good understanding of formulation and/or coatings technology.

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Previous experience within a manufacturing or industrial environment would be advantageous, although we're happy to consider candidates from other relevant product-development backgrounds.
