About Shellworks

At Shellworks, we’re on a mission to make plastic waste a thing of the past. We’ve created a new generation of materials - sustainable, high-performing, and designed to disappear. All of our materials are broken down by microorganisms in the soil. By reimagining how plastics are made, we’re tackling one of the world’s most urgent environmental challenges.

You’ll be joining a team of experts in materials science, design and manufacturing who are obsessed with sustainability and innovation.

About The Role

As part of our fast-paced, collaborative environment, you'll have the opportunity to make a tangible impact on the planet while growing your expertise. If you're passionate about using your scientific skills to solve complex challenges and create a better future, this is the perfect role for you.

Key Responsibilities

Drive the development of proprietary polymer blends and additive packages. You’ll be responsible for expanding our core material's scope, successfully hitting commercial performance targets.
You will develop formulations that remain robust and uncompromising during a product’s shelf-life but maintain rapid biodegradability the moment they reach their end-of-life.
Develop a predictive framework that correlates lab-based data to real-world machine settings. Your goal is to eliminate trial-and-error by predicting how materials will behave before they hit the factory floor.
Expand our internal testing suite to connect microstructure analysis (crystallinity, melt stability, etc) to macroscopic failure modes.
Work with suppliers on new materials, including incoming material analysis, testing and qualification.
As a member of a dynamic team, you won’t just stay in your lane. You’ll jump in wherever needed from vetting new sustainable feedstock suppliers to identifying and researching new opportunity spaces.

Our Ideal Candidate

Holds a Graduate Degree in Chemistry, Polymer Science, Materials Science, or a related field, with at least 1 year of industry experience.
Has a first-principles knowledge of chemistry and structure-property relationships.
Demonstrates solid skills in experimental design, with a passion for experimentation, data analysis, validation, and thorough documentation.
Brings a proactive, results-driven mindset and a strong willingness to learn - this is a hands-on role that requires curiosity and initiative.

Is highly agentic and thrives in in fast-moving, unstructured environments - you’re always the one spotting opportunities, building structure from scratch, and moving projects forward without waiting for instruction.
Has a bias to action and is confident making decisions independently, even with incomplete information.
A true team player who actively avoids silos and prioritises interdisciplinary problem solving.
A logical thinker and clear communicator, who proactively brings clarity when there is confusion or ambiguity.
An organised project manager who can deliver work to a high standard, on time.
Able to travel monthly and is capable of handling goods up to 25kg in weight.
