  • Competitive package & benefits

Felling Gateshead

A graduate in a scientific discipline, you are looking to develop your career in a business that offers roles with breadth, depth of scope and impact. That business is AkzoNobel. Home to world class products, we have been awarded Top Employer status and are recognised globally for being first with ideas, driving innovation and delivering innovative products all of which allow us to build successful partnerships with customers.

As a Technologist with AkzoNobel you will be involved in developing new products and technologies, testing and supporting existing technologies, products and processes or building a fundamental understanding of key coating attributes. Whatever project you are involved in you will need to plan, conduct and evaluate trials as well as use best practice to design, execute, study and interpret experiments for review. You will also ensure all results are accurately recorded, make recommendations for next steps and communicate key results to colleagues across the organisation. Important will be the ability to maintain the highest safety standards in the lab and follow established procedures.

To succeed, you will possess a degree in Chemistry or a closely related scientific subject and you will also have some experience of laboratory working. Relevant industrial experience would be a benefit but is not essential. You will have excellent interpersonal and communication skills as well as the ability to prioritise and multitask. Good at building relationships and solving problems, you will enjoy being part of a team and understand the importance of working safely too.

Some of them are household names, others are more specialist products, but everything we make is likely to play an essential role in your daily routine. We are experts in the proud craft of making paints and coatings, setting the standard in colour and protection since 1792. Our world class portfolio of brands – including Dulux, International, Sikkens and Interpon – is trusted by customers around the globe. Our products transform homes and interiors, make buildings better, keep transport moving, and the wheels of industry turning. We have four clear and simple values: Customer Focused, Deliver on Commitments, Passion for Excellence and Winning Together. These values provide the ‘how’ for successful strategy implementation.

If you want to be part of an organisation that is truly passionate about what they do and how they do it then we would love to hear from you.

Please note: In the event of a high candidate response to this vacancy we may close the application period earlier than the date shown.

Our culture recognizes life outside of work and how important it is, we want our people to be energized and inspired, we are advocates of a healthy work life balance and mental wellbeing. We are happy to look at flexible working options for all our roles.
