Process Chemist

Are you ready to take the next step in your career as a Process Chemist; if so, Syngenta can help you make it. We are currently recruiting for a Chemist to work in our Process Hazards Section based in Huddersfield. Process Hazards Section (PHS) is a group of Technical Specialists in process safety, whose responsibilities include the generation of data (particularly on thermal stability) to support Syngenta’s operations across the globe.

As a world-leading plant science company, we never stop looking for new and better ways forward.

Unsurprisingly, we’re also constantly on the lookout for talented individuals who can help take our company into the future. People who will grow and develop their careers with us.

And that’s where you come in.

You will be working on real projects – and making a real impact – from day one. As a Chemist in Process Hazards Section, your primary responsibilities will be ensuring the reliable and timely generation and delivery of process safety data to project teams across the whole of Syngenta. Using leading edge equipment, you will be part of a diverse, global team carrying out business specific and long-term cross-disciplinary strategic projects.  You will also liaise with our partners, ensuring studies are completed to expected turnaround times, and in line with ISO 9001.

Specific prior knowledge of process safety measurements & data is not necessary, as you will be joining a group of globally recognised technical experts that will support your development in this area (though some knowledge of ISO 9001 may be helpful).  What we do require from you is:

• Bachelor’s Degree in Chemistry (or a related scientific discipline).
• The ability to work relatively independently in a laboratory environment, and a scientific curiosity to learn new techniques, explore new innovations and their application to solve problems in projects.
• Confidence using relevant IT such as Excel, Word and PowerPoint, and the ability to search literature & databases to collect, collate and interpret complex information.

• Competitive benefits package.
• Up to 31.5 days holiday.
