- Knowledge of purification techniques (precipitation, solvent extraction, ion exchange, crystallization)

- Ability to read P&IDs and process flow diagrams

- Experience with DOE software (JMP, Minitab, Design-Expert) is a plus

- Exceptional attention to detail and data integrity

- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills

- Excellent communication and documentation abilities

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
