The Company
A successful UK-based FMCG manufacturer behind high-profile household cleaning brands, with products sold across the UK and internationally.
The business combines strong heritage with a modern, innovative approach, continually developing new formulations and products across cleaning, laundry and household care. With a significant export operation and products used by millions of consumers, it offers an exciting environment for someone wanting to make a genuine impact.
What's In It For You?- Work on products consumers actually know and use — your formulations can end up on supermarket shelves.
- Join a growing, innovative FMCG business with a strong portfolio of established brands.
- Get involved across the full product development cycle, from formulation and trials through to testing and launch.
- Opportunity to develop your expertise in formulation, sustainability and new product development.
- A role with real ownership and visibility, rather than being just another cog in a large corporate machine.
- Up to £40,000 salary
- 38 hours per week, 8:30am - 5:00pm, with a 3:00pm finish on Friday's
- 33 days holiday (including bank holidays)

- The Development Chemist will develop & formulate innovative household cleaning, laundry and surface-care products.
