As a principal scientist for foam at Tata Steel in IJmuiden, you will drive technical advancements for PIR Foam systems used in sandwich panels within the construction industry. You’ll spearhead the development and use of a new state-of-the-art lab facility while overseeing product improvements and developing future insulation solutions.

Your focus will be on improving performance in areas like fire-testing, thermal conductivity, and product quality, allowing for greater differentiation. Long-term, you'll develop sustainable solutions with bio-based or recyclable components, as well as explore new insulation materials.

As principal scientist at Tata Steel:

  • Collaboration is key: You will work closely with the R&D team in IJmuiden and with production sites in the Netherlands, Switzerland, and Germany, ensuring seamless communication and coordination.
  • You will focus on innovation: Identify opportunities for product improvements and develop new formulas for future insulation solutions, including bio-based and recyclable components.
  • Lead R&D efforts: You’ll manage internal and external research programs and drive lab-scale developments, utilizing the new facility to its full potential.
Herken jij jezelf?

You have the ability to clearly translate technical opportunities, activities, and results into tangible business objectives, ensuring alignment with broader company goals. You can also report and present your findings and recommendations in a clear and concise manner, effectively communicating complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. You also have:

  • A Master’s or PhD level, preferably in Chemistry, Polymer Science, Chemical Engineering, or a related field.
  • At least 10-15 years of experience in the relevant rigid foam PIR/PU industry and sector.
  • A strong command of Dutch, German, and English.
     
Dit bieden wij jou

The opportunity to contribute alongside your colleagues to a leading and sustainable steel company that everyone can be proud of. With us, you will have ample room to excel in your field, grow into another role, or specialize in something entirely new. Whatever your personal ambition may be, there is plenty of opportunity here if you take the initiative. Here's what we offer you:

  • A salary of up to € 9.667,42 gross per month, depending on your education and experience.
  • A variable profit-sharing scheme, a fixed year-end bonus of 2%, and 8% vacation pay.
  • Plenty of free time: you receive at least 26 vacation days and 11.5 ADV days, plus extra time through our flexible working hours scheme.
Jouw werkomgeving

As a key member of the cross-business Foam Team, you will be mainly based at SAB in Geldermalsen (location of our central foam laboratory and also production facilities).
