What is a chemist engineer?

Chemist Engineers, often referred to as Chemical Engineers, are professionals who apply principles of chemistry, physics, mathematics, and engineering to solve problems involving the production or use of chemicals, fuel, drugs, food, and many other products. They design processes and equipment for large-scale manufacturing, plan and test production methods, and oversee facility operations. Chemical Engineers work in a variety of industries, including energy, pharmaceuticals, food processing, and environmental protection. Their work ensures that products are produced efficiently, safely, and sustainably.

What are some common challenges a chemist engineer faces when transitioning projects from the laboratory to large-scale production?

Chemist Engineers often encounter challenges when scaling up from lab experiments to full-scale manufacturing, such as maintaining product quality, ensuring process safety, and optimizing cost-efficiency. Variations in reaction yields, unexpected equipment issues, and the need for strict regulatory compliance can complicate this transition. Effective collaboration with multidisciplinary teams—including safety, quality assurance, and production staff—is crucial to address these challenges and refine processes for consistent, safe, and economical operation.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a chemist engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Chemical Engineer, you need a solid background in chemistry, mathematics, and engineering principles, typically supported by a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering or a related field. Familiarity with process simulation software (like Aspen Plus or ChemCAD), safety regulations, and industry certifications such as FE or PE is often required. Strong problem-solving, teamwork, and communication skills set exceptional professionals apart in this role. These skills are crucial for designing safe, efficient processes and collaborating effectively to solve complex engineering challenges.

This role will primarily support our QUIKRETE® and Custom® Building Products product lines.

What You’ll Do

As a pivotal member of our Research and Development team, you will take a hands-on approach to evaluating novel materials and advancing product formulations, driving our mission to accelerate innovation and deliver smarter solutions.

  • Plan, execute, analyze, and report experimental lab work, leading to new products based on reactive chemistries, including epoxies.

  • Contribute to multifunctional teams (including manufacturing, technical service, QA/QC, product management) to ensure successful execution of R&D projects from concept to commercialization, including scale-up.

  • Evaluate prototypes with Technical Services and Customers to validate expected market success of concepts.

  • Assess competitive products and alternative epoxy technologies.

What We’re Looking For

We believe that meaningful impact is driven by a strong technical foundation, relentless curiosity, and a drive to learn. While advanced degrees are welcome, they are not a prerequisite for success in this role.

Education & Experience

  • B.S. degree in Chemistry, Polymer and/or Material Science is required.

  • 3-5+ years of industrial formulation of polymer-based coatings, adhesives, sealants and eleastomeric products is a must.

  • Experience in reactive chemistries, such as epoxies, urethanes, phenolics, polyaspartics and/or sil(ox)anes is desired.

  • Demonstrated track record of developing commercially successful products.

  • Experience and basic understanding of manufacturing scale-up processes and construction industry practices is desired.

Expected Competencies

  • A talent for solving problems; use logic and reason to identify the strengths and weaknesses of solutions
  • Able to work with a diverse group of people in multifunctional teams
  • Self-starting with a drive to overachieve
  • Excellent written and oral communication

Physical Requirements

  • Frequent use of hands and arms for reaching, grasping, and fine motor manipulation.
  • Capacity for intermittent standing, walking, turning, sitting, squatting, stooping, and bending
  • Ability to safely carry up to 25 lbs., lift/lower up to 50 lbs., and push/pull up to 100 lbs. (with material handling equipment assistance).
  • Potential (non-local) travel up to 50%

What You’ll Gain

  • Professional Growth: We offer in-depth training, technical certifications, and clear career development paths.
  • Supportive Culture: Work with experienced mentors in a friendly, collaborative setting.
