Are you a seasoned chemist with a passion for creating smarter, stronger, and more sustainable adhesives? Ready to step into a pivotal role where your work will directly shape innovative products and influence future market leaders?
We’re on the lookout for a Senior R&D Chemist to join a highly respected technical team, working with cutting-edge materials and a customer-first mindset. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with strong adhesive formulation experience to truly make their mark.

You’ll be right at the heart of product innovation – formulating and developing water-based, solvent-based, and hot melt adhesives that lead the market. No two days will be the same. From liaising with suppliers and customers, supporting scale-ups, and evaluating novel raw materials, to partnering with sales teams and presenting to the board – this role is as varied as it is vital.
You’ll also be:
* Reformulating to drive performance and cost-efficiency
* Supporting customer trials and manufacturing sites (including some European travel)
* Ensuring all products comply with regulatory and quality standards (ISO 9001)
* Presenting progress in R&D meetings and board updates
