About the Role

The Chemist will be a key member of the Engineering Team based in Flotta, working closely with our globally located Service Team. The role involves supporting and contributing to ongoing project work, including both desk-based technical studies and practical, hands-on activities. Although primarily based in Flotta, the position requires flexibility and a willingness to travel internationally to both onshore and offshore locations.

Based in Flotta, the primary responsibility will be to conduct and support laboratory analyses, studies, and experimental work. In addition, you will provide support to Test Hall projects, which may involve participating in the construction, installation, operation, testing, and decommissioning of process test equipment.

The role also includes international travel to carry out fluid characterisation studies. This work involves the application of standard analytical tools and techniques to assess and better understand client process equipment and operating conditions.

Success in this position will depend on strong attention to detail, excellent written and verbal communication skills, and the ability to collaborate effectively within a multidisciplinary team. You will be motivated to embrace new challenges, continuously develop your technical and interpersonal skills, and broaden your knowledge through exposure to a diverse range of projects and training opportunities.

Full training will be provided.
