Job Description

  • Local Residents Only

We are seeking a skilled and hands-on Chemist with expertise in Polymer Chemistry and Industrial Cleaner / Degreaser Chemistry to support the development, testing, and production of two distinct product lines : epoxy coatings and industrial chemical solutions (cleaners, degreasers, and coolants). This role is highly collaborative and will work cross-functionally with plant, production, and quality teams to enhance product performance, ensure consistency, and maintain high standards in manufacturing operations.

________________________________________

Key Responsibilities for Polymer Chemistry (Epoxy Coatings) :

  • Develop and optimize formulations for epoxy coatings using resins, hardeners, and functional additives.
  • Conduct research on polymer properties and curing mechanisms to improve durability, adhesion, and performance.
  • Scale new polymer products from lab to production with a focus on process repeatability and batch consistency.
  • Perform lab and mechanical testing (e.g., cure time, viscosity, tensile strength, adhesion).
  • Recommend formulation adjustments to improve shelf life, chemical resistance, and application characteristics.
  • For Industrial Chemistry (Cleaners, Degreasers, Coolants) :

  • Formulate and refine water- and solvent-based industrial cleaners and degreasers for various substrates and applications.
  • Evaluate and optimize surfactants, solvents, corrosion inhibitors, and emulsifiers for performance and safety.
  • Conduct performance testing such as soil removal efficacy, foam generation, and residue analysis.
  • Address and troubleshoot production issues related to stability, separation, or compliance in industrial formulas.
  • Ensure compliance with environmental, safety, and labeling regulations across all cleaning formulations.
  • Shared Responsibilities Across Both Areas :

  • Test raw materials, in-process batches, and finished products to meet internal and customer specifications.
  • Maintain detailed formulation records, batch sheets, and technical documentation (SDS, TDS, labels).
  • Support procurement by evaluating raw material options and negotiating with vendors.
  • Provide technical support for customer inquiries and assist with product selection and custom formulation.
  • Adhere to safety protocols for handling chemicals and working in laboratory and production environments.
  • ________________________________________

    Qualifications Required for All Candidates :

  • Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry, Polymer Science, Chemical Engineering, or a related field (required).
  • Minimum 5 years of experience in either polymer formulation or industrial chemical development.
  • Proficiency in lab-scale development and transitioning to full-scale production environments.
  • Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills in a hands-on lab or manufacturing setting.
  • Preferred for Polymer Chemists :

  • Experience with epoxy resins, curing agents, and performance-enhancing additives.
  • Knowledge of polymer crosslinking chemistry and thermoset applications.
  • Preferred for Cleaner & Degreaser Chemists :

  • Familiarity with formulating industrial degreasers, water-based cleaners, coolants, and related specialty chemicals.
  • Understanding of surfactant science, pH control, and regulatory compliance for cleaning agents.
  • Create a job alert for this search
