Postgraduate Chemical Engineer – Make it, test it, make it better

Location: Jandakot, Perth WA | Type: Full-Time | Team: R&D / Manufacturing

Perth summers = pool weather = cooler science. Behind every backyard splash is world-class materials, clever chemistry, and relentless experimentation. That's where you come in.

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.

How to apply

Send your CV and a short note on a project you improved (what you changed, how you proved it, and the results).
