ASAP Sponsorship is not available Senior R D Scientist

• Formulation Chemistry (Lab Manager Opportunity) Description Our client, a growing manufacturer of specialty construction materials, is searching for their next R D leader to join their team outside of Downey, CA.

This opportunity is open due to the planned retirement of a longtime technical leader who has spent more than 20 years with the company. You'll lead a small technical team (2) while remaining heavily involved in hands-on formulation development and R D activities. This is not a role where you'll spend your days reviewing reports from behind a desk. Instead, you'll spend 50% of your time performing hands-on laboratory work, including formulation development, testing, and new product development. The remainder of your time will be split between supporting quality initiatives, collaborating with manufacturing, and helping guide the overall technical direction of the business. Candidates should have a strong background in formulation development within a wet chemistry environment. Aside from a strong technical background, they're looking for someone who craves an opportunity to work with a smaller team where you'll have more influence and fewer organizational layers to cut through. This is a rare opportunity to join a company coming off its strongest year to date and take over for a longtime technical leader who genuinely wants to leave the role in good hands and help set the next person up for success.
