Opportunities in Development and
Production
Development
forms the cutting edge of our business. We work in teams with
our customers to transform ideas into commercial reality.
We aim to grow our business by developing new
products, many of them based on projects from the Johnson Matthey
Technology Centre
at Sonning Common. We also assess existing products and processes
in order to improve and streamline them. Speed to market is key
and our work is challenging. It is satisfying to work on a product
today and see it being sold 3-6 months later. We develop strong
partnerships directly with customers – getting their research
and development people to buy into our ideas. That way we build
the long-term relationships essential to our business. How
you start out
You'll start on a live project straightaway. You could be exploring
a new opportunity with a customer, busy doing benchwork related
to a customer programme or working on an internal production project.
You could be running tests, analysing customer returns or scaling
up production on a new product.
Who
are we looking for?
There are opportunities for first-degree graduates and PhDs. We
look for people with relevant technical knowledge who are from
the business world and those keen to join.
We seek those
with chemistry degrees including specialists in catalysis.
We also recruit chemical engineers for process technology and
automotive engineers for autocatalyst testing. You'll need
to communicate effectively in both technical and layman's terms
and be a practical self-starter.

Vocational
training, for example catalysis courses, instrumental techniques
and experimental design, runs alongside the Business Training
Programme. We ensure that chemists and chemical engineers
understand each other's disciplines so they work effectively
together. We strongly encourage and support chemical engineers
to gain chartered status with the Institution of Chemical
Engineers. |
