  • Industrial experience in coatings, paints, or related fields, with strong bench chemistry and formulation expertise.
  • Proven track record in product development, with knowledge of coatings systems such as polyurethane, epoxy, waterborne, and solvent borne technologies.
  • Strong problem-solving skills, with the ability to manage ambiguity, anticipate risks, and deliver innovative solutions.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work independently and as part of a team.
  • Knowledge of experimental design (DoE), sustainability trends, and industry standards is desirable.
Benefits:
  • Comprehensive health and well-being support, including a wellbeing hub and full employee assistance program (EAP) support.
  • Covered out-of-pocket gap costs for employees with private health insurance extras cover.
  • Opportunities to give back to communities through volunteer programs.
