QUALITY, HEALTH, SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SPECIALIST RECRUITER FOR MANUFACTURING
R&D Technologist
Matlock
Love the lab? Passionate about product innovation? This is your moment.
We’re working with a leading-edge manufacturing business that’s powering the future of building materials, and they’re on the hunt for an ambitious, curious, and hands-on R&D Technologist to join their growing innovation team.
This is not your typical white-coat, clipboard role. You'll be mixing, testing, analysing, and actually creating the next generation of high-performance materials used in real-world, large-scale infrastructure projects. Think big, build smart, and help shape products that go the distance.
What’s in it for you?
* A central role in cutting-edge R&D projects
* Autonomy, support, and a seat at the innovation table
* Progression into senior roles in R&D or Quality
* A fast-moving, problem-solving, hands-on lab environment
* A business that genuinely values ideas and invests in people
What you’ll be doing:
* Creating and testing new material trial mixes
* Coordinating lab trials and external testing programmes
* Working with production and engineering teams to scale up ideas into real-world solutions
* Researching the latest materials and market innovations
* Producing sharp, insightful technical reports
* Supporting the QA team when needed – you will be part of a team that has each other’s backs
What we need from you:
* A degree in Chemistry or a related scientific field
* Solid hands-on knowledge of asphalt, bitumen, and ideally polymer technology
* Practical experience with hot-melt or roofing systems is a huge plus
* A naturally curious mind, problem-solving mindset, and an eye for detail
* Great communication skills, confident writing technical reports and collaborating cross-functionally
* Strong Microsoft Office skills and a proactive, organised approach to your work
* Flexibility for occasional travel and adaptable working hours
This isn’t just a job. It’s your chance to shape the future of materials.
If you're ready to put your technical skills to the test in a role that rewards creativity, drive, and curiosity, this is the one for you.
Apply today or contact us to find out more.
Let’s build something brilliant together.
