Develop new processes and applications for material recycling, recovery, separation, purification, and reuse. Characterize materials using appropriate physical, chemical, thermal, mechanical, and morphological testing methods. Study the impact of process parameters on material properties and final product performance. Analyze experimental data, draw conclusions, and translate findings into practical recommendations. Lead root-cause investigations related to material or process-quality issues. Support the scale-up of successful laboratory concepts to pilot and commercial operations.

Strong understanding of pulp fibres, polymer chemistry, plastic processing, material degradation, and recycled-material behaviour. Demonstrated experience in experimental design, material characterization, data analysis, and technical problem-solving. Experience taking R&D projects from laboratory trials through pilot-scale validation. Working knowledge of relevant testing methods and laboratory equipment.

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.
