Graduate Research and Development Chemist – Pyrotechnics and Special Effects

Location: Peterborough, Cambridgeshire
Department: Research & Development
Reports to: Research and Development Manager

About Le Maitre

For almost 50 years, Le Maitre has been designing and manufacturing world-leading pyrotechnics, smoke effects, flame systems and special effects equipment.

Our products are used across theatre, concerts, television, film, theme parks, live events and specialist defence applications around the world. Innovation sits at the heart of everything we do, combining science, engineering and creativity to develop products that create unforgettable experiences.

We're looking for an enthusiastic Graduate Research and Development Chemist to join our growing Research & Development team.

The Role

This isn't your typical graduate chemistry role. One week you could be helping to develop a bespoke coloured smoke effect for a major international touring artist, the next assisting with specialist materials testing for the Ministry of Defence. From laboratory trials through to production, you'll have the opportunity to see products you've helped develop being used on stages, film sets and live events across the world.

Working alongside experienced chemists and engineers, you'll receive hands-on experience across every aspect of our Research & Development process, from product formulation and testing through to manufacturing, certification and continuous improvement.

If you're curious, practical and enjoy solving problems, this is an exciting opportunity to build a career in one of the world's most unique manufacturing industries.

Key Responsibilities

Assist in the research and development of new pyrotechnic and special effects products.
Support laboratory testing, formulation development and product evaluation.
Assist with manufacturing trials and process improvements.
Help prepare technical documentation for product approvals and certification.
Support product testing against UK and international standards.
Carry out laboratory experiments and accurately record results.
Work closely with the Production, H&S and QA teams to support product development.
Learn to prepare technical documentation, risk assessments and operating procedures.
Assist with continuous improvement projects and product innovation.
Assist in the safe handling, storage and disposal of hazardous waste in accordance with company procedures and relevant legislation.
Maintain high standards of laboratory safety, housekeeping and record keeping.
Undertake any other duties appropriate to the role.

What You'll Learn

You'll gain hands-on experience across a wide range of R&D activities, including:

Pyrotechnic formulation and product development.
Smoke and special effects chemistry.
Laboratory testing and experimental design.
Product performance evaluation and data analysis.
Product certification and regulatory compliance.
Scaling formulations from laboratory to manufacturing.
Manufacturing process improvement.
Working within a commercial R&D environment.
Collaborating with Production, Engineering and Quality teams to bring new products to market.

Career Development

This role is designed to provide a strong foundation for a long-term career in Research & Development.

You'll work closely with experienced chemists who will mentor and support your development, gradually giving you greater responsibility as your knowledge and confidence grow.

As your career progresses, you'll have the opportunity to:

Lead your own product development projects.
Develop new formulations and manufacturing processes.
Manage product testing and certification.
Support customer technical enquiries.
Mentor future graduate chemists.
Progress into an R&D Chemist or Development Chemist role.

At Le Maitre, we believe in developing our people and promoting from within wherever possible.

What We're Looking For

Essential

Minimum Bachelor's degree in Chemistry or a closely related scientific discipline.
A genuine interest in Research & Development.
Strong laboratory skills gained through university study.
Excellent attention to detail.
Curious, analytical and enthusiastic about problem-solving.
Good written and verbal communication skills.
Ability to work independently and as part of a team.

aDesirable

Industrial placement or laboratory experience.
An interest in formulation chemistry, energetic materials or manufacturing.
Experience analysing and interpreting experimental data.
Knowledge of quality systems or product testing.

What We Offer

Starting salary of £28,000–£30,000, depending on experience.
Mentoring from experienced chemists with excellent opportunities for professional development.
Excellent opportunities for career progression.
Company pension.
28 days annual leave (inclusive of Bank Holidays) with extra days added during your tenure at the company.
Employee Assistance Programme.
Ongoing professional development and training.
A friendly, collaborative and supportive working environment.
The opportunity to work on innovative products used by customers around the world.

Additional Information

Due to the nature of our industry, all successful applicants must comply with the legal requirements relating to employment within the explosives industry. Pre-employment background checks will be carried out in accordance with the Explosives Regulations 2014.

Le Maitre is an equal opportunities employer and welcomes applications from all suitably qualified candidates regardless of age, disability, gender, gender identity, race, religion or belief, or sexual orientation.

Pay: £28,000.00-£30,000.00 per year
