• · Plan and manage material flow and basic logistics

Profile

• BSc (or higher) in Polymer technology
• Relevant work-life experience (3 years)
• Basic familiarity with analytical technics for polymer characterisation
• Practical experience of polymer processing

Character traits:

• · Curiosity – a personal drive to investigate and solve difficult material problems.
• · Creativity – an ability to scientifically and pragmatically use known and new information to further research and development
• · Drive, dedication and goal orientation
• · A profound interest in and wide knowledge of chemistry
• · A positive attitude and outlook on life

Other Requirements
