The job

As a key member of our cross-technology development teams, you will leverage your expertise in polymers and coatings to inspire, provide analytical insights, solve problems, and deliver cutting-edge solutions.

You will collaborate with clients' specialists and managers, your IPU teammates, and external researchers in a professionally and personally enriching environment. This role offers you the opportunity to make a significant impact, grow your professional network, and work on innovative projects that challenge and inspire you.

We imagine that you can recognize yourself in one or more of the following descriptions:

You possess extensive polytechnical knowledge and recognize that a polymer is not merely a polymer, but a result of its formulation, processing, and lifespan. You know how to apply this knowledge to assess its characteristics in a product or component and relate that to potential technical challenges in use.

We are looking for a mindset more than a CV, but to succeed we expect that you will have minimum 3 years prior relevant working experience within polymeric materials and organic chemistry (polymers, coatings) and hold a M.Sc. or Ph.D. in ex. Chemical Engineering, or a similar field.

You may have a background in the R&D department of a company with a desire to be challenged in a broader field of applications, or you may have an academic background with a desire to get closer to applications. We will be particularly interested in your ability to act as a trusted advisor, managing customers’ expectations so your work meets the agreed quality on time and budget. 

You need to be fluent in English (written and spoken) and hold a Danish work permit. Danish language skills are an advantage.

Our organizational setup focuses on creating an environment that supports a healthy work/life balance. We value diversity and share the ambition of enjoying our time together in a tech-savvy team.

You will join a company that offers learning and development opportunities, enhancing your skills as a trusted advisor in even the most complex projects.
