Research Scientist 2 - Process Chemistry (Sustainable Materials)
Salary: £33,727 - £43,727 per annum (dependent on experience)
Employment Type: Full Time, Permanent
Location: Sedgefield
The Role:
This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced laboratory scientist with a strong chemistry background to join a growing and evolving team.
Unlike highly specialised chemistry roles, this position requires someone who is comfortable applying fundamental chemistry principles across a range of different projects and technical challenges. One week you may be supporting materials development activities, another you could be assisting with process optimisation, laboratory investigations, battery material synthesis, analytical testing or helping establish new technical capabilities within a developing facility.
We're looking for someone who enjoys variety, is comfortable working in situations where the path forward is not always clearly defined, and can confidently contribute practical laboratory expertise wherever it is needed.
The successful candidate will predominantly support sustainable materials programmes, although projects may span a broad range of chemistries and technologies as business needs evolve.
What You'll Be Doing:
Planning, conducting and reporting laboratory-based experimental work.
Supporting the development, optimisation and scale-up of chemical processes and materials.
Carrying out bench-scale chemistry activities with a high degree of precision and attention to detail.
Supporting projects involving sustainable materials, battery materials, polymers and related technologies.
Performing synthesis, characterisation, formulation and analytical testing activities.
Analysing and interpreting experimental data to support project decision-making.
Maintaining accurate laboratory records, technical reports and supporting documentation.
Contributing to the establishment of new laboratory capabilities and technical facilities.
Working across multiple projects and adapting to changing technical priorities.
Collaborating with multidisciplinary scientists, engineers and external partners.
Ensuring compliance with Safety, Health and Environmental (SHE) requ...
