  • You’ll initiate and manage composite approval programs on a global basis including negotiating the SOW (statement of work), managing the subsequent test program and submission of the final test report.
  • You will work closely with the Formulated Materials Development Team and Resin development team to provide market and customer insight into key development projects.
  • You’ll work with Product Management to provide final approval for technical input into all Composite data sheets and other literature

  • You have proven theoretical understanding and practical application of commonly used composite manufacturing techniques and processes.
  • You hold experience of scaling polymer manufacture to pilot and production scales.
  • You’re adept at managing a portfolio of extended customer and third party approval projects and programs.

  • Enhanced employer pension contribution whereby Scott Bader will contribute a maximum of 2x your contribution, up to a maximum of 10%.
  • Private medical insurance alongside a host of further discounts and employee benefit schemes .
  • 25 days annual leave entitlement plus Bank Holidays – We also offer the opportunity to purchase an additional 5 day’s annual leave in case you need a couple of extra days. 
  • We offer all our employees one full day per year to complete volunteering work of your choice which is fully paid. Alongside this, if you are thinking about fundraising for your favourite charity or local community event, we will happily match the funds that you have raised up to a maximum of £1000 in any one year. 
  • Our Head Office sits within 44 acres of Northamptonshire countryside, nestled within the village of Wollaston. Access to free onsite car parking, electric car charging points, discounted cafeteria and even an onsite swimming pool.
