Aquatic Leisure Technologies (ALT) has helped WA families dive into their backyard dreams for nearly 50 years. We're WA's most trusted and awarded pool brand—and we're looking for a postgraduate Chemical Engineer who loves turning ideas into tested, scalable reality.

What you'll do (the fun stuff)

  • Conduct literature reviews and remain current with scientific advancements, patents, and emerging technologies.
  • Identify gaps and opportunities in existing processes or products to develop innovative solutions.
  • Develop novel chemical processes, materials, or formulations aligned with company or project objectives.
  • Design and execute laboratory-scale experiments to investigate chemical reactions, material properties, and process conditions.
  • Utilise Design of Experiments methodology and statistical tools to plan experiments and analyse results.
  • Operate and troubleshoot analytical instruments.
  • Collect, interpret, and model data to establish correlations and predictive models.
  • Prepare technical reports including conclusions, recommendations, and proposed next steps.
  • Support intellectual property generation through technical validation and reporting
  • Work closely with production, quality, and regulatory teams to ensure new processes and products meet all standards.
  • Ensure all experimental work complies with Occupational Health and Safety, environmental, and regulatory standards.

What you'll bring

  • Postgraduate qualifications in Chemical Engineering or a closely related field. Chemical Engineers are preferred; however, Mechanical Engineers and Civil Engineers with expertise in materials (particularly composites) and relevant chemical knowledge are encouraged to apply.
  • Strong curiosity combined with rigorous analytical skills; experience with Design of Experiments, statistical analysis, and deriving decisions from complex data.
  • Practical laboratory experience and proficiency with analytical instruments.
  • Knowledge of operating milling machines and similar equipment is highly beneficial.
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to produce clear, actionable technical reports.
  • A proactive, builder's mindset: focused on prototyping, testing, learning, and scaling solutions.

Why ALT

  • Real impact: your work shows up in backyards across WA.
  • Room to grow: mentorship across R&D, production, quality and regulatory.
  • Modern labs, supportive team, and a brand with nearly 50 years of wins.
