Our German client in southern Lower Saxony is a specialist for technical polyurethane foams, embedded in an international group. Its products include foams in all forms, but also so-called foam systems, i.e. two-component liquid preparations that are converted into foams on site by industrial customers. The customer base includes primarily the automotive industry, but also many other industrial users. For the R&D department of our client we are looking for a Development Chemist (f/m/d) to succeed the Head of R&D in the medium term:

 
R&D Manager (f/m/d) Polyurethane

Your tasks:

• You will initially work your way into the existing 2 part foam systems in a developer position. You carry out adaptations of existing product types to extended requirements / raw material issues and supervise new developments according to customer specifications.
• At the same time, you do the application engineering for customers in EMEA, also on site, and therefore have a certain travel workload
• You work closely with sales and production, among others
• After this transitional period, you will take over the management of the 9-person R&D department laboratory/technical centre and application technology
  
  

Your profile:

• You have completed a degree in chemistry or comparable training, with professional experience in the field of reactive polymer systems, with or without management responsibilities
• Experience in the development and optimisation of polyurethane formulations is highly desirable, but practical R&D experience in the field of other reactive thermosets (silicones, epoxy resins, acrylates, UP resins, etc.) would also be good prior knowledge
• You are cooperative and communicative, and you motivate your environment with constructive charisma
• You value direct interaction with the customer, think entrepreneurially and thus make a significant contribution to sales success
• You speak business fluent English (obligatory). Knowledge of German is an advantage, but not a requirement
• You live in southern Lower Saxony or are willing to relocate there
  
  

Our client offers you, among other things:

• An exciting challenge in an international group with a medium-sized atmosphere, comprehensive project responsibility and direct customer contact
• A committed, positive-minded team as well as a complete and modern machine equipment
• A planned career move after an intensive induction period by experienced professionals, optionally also leadership training
• Appropriate remuneration with profit-sharing, company car and comfortable social benefits
  
  

Does this position appeal to you? Then we look forward to receiving your application, stating the reference number AL3267WE, your earliest possible starting date and your salary expectations.
