Plant Chemist

At Rising Talent Recruitment, we’re on the lookout for a curious, hands-on Plant Chemist who’s ready to make their mark in a well-established manufacturing company in West Lothian.

This isn’t your average lab job — you’ll be out on the plant floor as much as in the lab, getting involved in everything from:

Testing and selecting raw materials

Developing and optimising processes

Troubleshooting live production issues

Colour matching (yes, you’ll get creative too!)

Driving  new product development and making real improvements happen

If you’re someone who loves rolling up your sleeves, solving tricky problems, and working with different teams to turn ideas into reality, this could be the role for you.

What we’re looking for:

A degree in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Polymer Science, Materials Science (or similar)

Experience with product development or process optimisation

Confidence with data, testing, and scaling formulas from lab to production

A great communicator who can bring technical info to life for non-technical teams

What’s in it for you?

A permanent role in a growing business

A supportive, collaborative environment where your ideas will be heard

Training and development from an experienced technical team

The chance to see your work make a visible difference in production and new products

Sound like your kind of challenge? 

Apply now and join a company where science meets creativity, and no two days are ever the same
