Please note – we welcome applications from people with relevant experience and transferable skills, even if you don’t meet every requirement. If this role sparks your interest, we’d love to hear from you.

At AkzoNobel, we’ve been pioneering colour, protection and performance for more than 200 years. Our R&D teams develop innovative coating technologies that help customers around the world achieve better performance, sustainability and efficiency.
We’re committed to building diverse, inclusive teams that reflect the customers and communities we serve.

About the Role
As a R&D Chemist in our Pigments, Colorants and Hardware division, you’ll play a key role in supporting and delivering laboratory projects focused on the development and optimisation of colourant technologies. Working closely with the Colorants Team Leader and wider R&D colleagues, you’ll conduct experiments, evaluate formulations and contribute to the development of innovative products that meet customer and business needs.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone with laboratory experience who enjoys practical experimentation, problem solving and working in a collaborative research environment.

Key Responsibilities
In this role, you will:

Plan, conduct and analyse laboratory experiments in collaboration with the Colorants Team Leader
Screen raw materials and develop colourant formulations
Produce and evaluate milled colourant formulations using established laboratory processes
Carry out physical and analytical testing of wet and dry paint samples and interpret results
Support the optimisation and improvement of colourant performance and product properties
Maintain laboratory equipment used for colourant manufacturing and testing activities
Record, analyse and communicate experimental findings through reports and presentations
Provide technical support to manufacturing, supply chain, marketing, customer service and R&D colleagues
Assist with troubleshooting and supervision of production batches when required
Contribute ideas for new, improved, safer and more sustainable products, processes and procedures
Maintain a clean, organised and safe laboratory environment in line with HSE&S requirements

What We’re Looking For
You don’t have to tick every box — we value curiosity, collaboration and a willingness to learn.
Ideal candidates will bring:

A degree in Chemistry (or related topic)
Basic knowledge of coatings chemistry, polymers or formulation technologies
Strong practical laboratory skills and the ability to work accurately and safely
Good analytical and problem-solving abilities
Experience using Microsoft Office applications
Strong communication and presentation skills in English
Good organisational and time management skills
A proactive, results-oriented approach with a commitment to continuous improvement
Ability to work effectively as part of a team and contribute new ideas

What Makes This Role a Great Opportunity

Develop specialist expertise in colourant formulation and testing
Work on projects that contribute directly to new product development and performance improvements
Collaborate with experienced scientists and technical specialists
Gain exposure to manufacturing, supply chain and customer-facing technical activities
Build your career within a global organisation focused on innovation and sustainability

Why AkzoNobel?
We offer:

Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits
Pension, life assurance and income protection
Wellbeing and mental health support
Flexible benefits tailored to your lifestyle
A culture centred on inclusion, development and work–life balance
Access to global learning and career progression opportunities

At AkzoNobel, we believe diverse teams make stronger decisions, drive innovation and create better outcomes. If you’re passionate about science, enjoy solving technical challenges and want to contribute to the future of coatings technology, we encourage you to apply — even if you’re not sure you meet every requirement.
