Technical Manager - Chemical, COMAH, Quality

We are seeking a technical professional with strong background in chemical manufacturing. The role will develop you from Technical Manager to Technical Director in the medium term. The Technical Director will retire, and you will have mentorship and support to transition into their role. The time-scale for the handover is flexible and will fit around your profile and current levels of experience or knowledge.

You may be strong in COMAH, H&S, Environmental, Laboratory Management, Technical Sales, Chemical processing, NPD, Quality and Systems, or any number of areas that could fall into a Technical role.

• QHSE - including GMP / VMD / ISO / H&S
• COMAH
• QP
• Laboratory / regulatory
• Technical leadership to manufacturing
• New Product Development (NPD)
• Product registration
• Product pricing
• Process route advice
• Pre-sales technical input
• After-sales / customer support

Depending largely on your personal technical background in leadership, quality management, NPD, COMAH etc., you can quickly take responsibility for some areas within the remit. As you become more comfortable with other areas, they too can be transferred.

• Degree educated in chemistry or equivalent
• Chemical manufacturing experience
• Led a technical team or equivalent
• Likely experience of formulation development (NPD), and/or quality control, regulatory and compliance
• COMAH, although not essential, we will get you trained, and would be desirable, as we are Upper Tier COMAH

We are a well-established own label and subcontract chemical manufacturer of primarily liquids. We pride ourselves on our quality, integrity, and traceability of all our products, formulating and packing them to the highest standards and continuously striving to gain new industry approvals. Our primary customer markets include agricultural, industrial, bioc-security, home & garden and veterinary markets.

You know there is a guaranteed succession plan - the chance for you to develop your knowledge in areas you are not as strong, before our Technical Director retires and you gain full autonomy for technical and compliance within our business.

It is highly likely you will have worked in any of the following roles and/or markets, and worked with the following products and/or services:
Technical Manager, Technical Leader, Head of Technical, COMAH, Chemical, Chemistry, COSHH, DSEAR, ATEX, Pharmaceutical, Quality Assurance, Quality Control, Formulation, Laboratory, NPD.
