Yolk Recruitment is exclusively partnered with this leading manufacturing business to recruit a degree calibre candidate with a strong foundation in Chemistry for a role that blends chemistry, sustainability and environmental compliance, and product development.

This is an opportunity to develop a career in a high value field, that commonly has few entry level points. The business provides a proven development pathway, working alongside experts in the field to develop knowledge and capability, with increasing autonomy, responsibility and development ahead in line with your abilities as they grow.

You'll learn how global environmental and sustainability requirements effect product development and manufacturing, and develop expertise in ensuring products are genuinely environmentally responsible and globally compliant.

This isn't a hands on chemistry role, it's a desk-based technical position where your scientific understanding, research ability, judgement and attention to detail will matter.

What you'll be doing

• Supporting environmental and sustainability compliance across advanced products sold into global markets
• Researching current and emerging environmental and chemical regulations, and helping translate them into clear actions for the business
• Reviewing materials, components and product information to support compliance activity
• Working with internal teams across development, sourcing and operations to make sure sustainability requirements are understood and built into projects
• Supporting project meetings and, in time, taking more ownership as your confidence and knowledge grow
• Helping manage documentation, supplier information and compliance data in a structured and accurate way
• Building expertise in a specialist area that is becoming more important and more commercially valuable every year

What you'll need

• A degree in Chemistry, Environmental Science or a related scientific subject with a strong chemistry foundation
• A methodical, systematic approach and attention to detail
• Experience of project work or project management exposure is advantageous
• Professional interpersonal capability

And what you'll get in return

• Competitive salary DOE, reviewed annually and increasing in line with your increasing knowledge and responsibilities.
• Early finish on Friday
• 25 days holiday + bank holidays
• 10% combined company pension
• Ongoing training and development
• Career development opportunities
