At Rising Talent Recruitment, we’re on the lookout for a curious, hands-on Plant Chemist who’s ready to make their mark in a well-established manufacturing company in West Lothian.
This isn’t your average lab job — you’ll be out on the plant floor as much as in the lab, getting involved in everything from:
Testing and selecting raw materials
Developing and optimising processes
Troubleshooting live production issues
Colour matching (yes, you’ll get creative too!)
Driving new product development and making real improvements happen
If you’re someone who loves rolling up your sleeves, solving tricky problems, and working with different teams to turn ideas into reality, this could be the role for you.
What we’re looking for:
A degree in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Polymer Science, Materials Science (or similar)
Experience with product development or process optimisation
Confidence with data, testing, and scaling formulas from lab to production
A great communicator who can bring technical info to life for non-technical teams
What’s in it for you?
A permanent role in a growing business
A supportive, collaborative environment where your ideas will be heard
Training and development from an experienced technical team
The chance to see your work make a visible difference in production and new products
Sound like your kind of challenge?
