đź’· Competitive salary + benefits
Elevation Recruitment Group are supporting a specialist organisation within the lubricants and specialty chemicals sector with the appointment of a Senior R&D Chemist.
This is a great opportunity for an experienced lubricants chemist or formulation specialist who is ready to step into a role with greater technical influence and less day-to-day laboratory work.
This is not a predominantly hands-on laboratory role. It's an opportunity to use your technical expertise in a broader, more senior capacity, supporting projects, solving technical challenges and influencing product development.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The role:
- Provide senior technical support across R&D and product development
- Support formulation development, optimisation and technical problem solving
- Review and interpret laboratory and performance data
- Provide technical guidance and support to laboratory-based activity
- Work closely with R&D, manufacturing, quality and commercial teams
- Support projects from development through to commercialisation
What we're looking for:
- Strong experience within the lubricants industry
- Background in R&D, formulation, product development or technical development
- Good knowledge of lubricant formulations, base oils and additives
- Strong technical problem-solving and analytical skills
- Excellent communication skills and the confidence to provide technical guidance
- Relevant Chemistry, Chemical Engineering or scientific qualification
