Do you want to work with product development in an international industrial environment where technology, innovation, and customer focus are at the center? INEOS Compounds in Helsingborg is now looking for a Product Developer PVC Compound to join their technical team.

This is a new role where you will have the opportunity to contribute to the development of the business while working closely with customers, production, sales, and colleagues within the international INEOS group. You will report to the Technical and Quality Manager and become part of an experienced team of four employees.

In this role, you are responsible for developing and adapting PVC compounds based on customer needs. The work is carried out in a project format where you drive several parallel development projects, from idea and testing to implementation and follow-up. Projects may involve creating new products, optimizing existing formulations, evaluating alternative raw materials, or adapting products to changed customer processes and market requirements.

The position is located at the INEOS Compounds facility in Helsingborg, and the work is performed on-site.

Main responsibilities

As a Product Developer PVC Compound, you will play a central role in the company's development work. Your main responsibilities include:

• Driving product development projects for new and existing PVC compounds
• Developing and adapting products based on specific customer requirements and wishes
• Evaluating and implementing new raw materials
• Working on product optimization for improved performance, cost-efficiency, and sustainability
• Planning, conducting, and following up on tests in close collaboration with production
• Maintaining ongoing technical dialogue with customers regarding material selection, product requirements, and process prerequisites
• Collaborating closely with the company's sales organization as well as colleagues at other INEOS facilities in Europe
• Creating and updating technical documentation such as technical data sheets and safety data sheets
• Contributing to sustainability-related issues
• Ensuring that products meet relevant technical and regulatory requirements

Who are you?

We are looking for someone with a genuine interest in material development who thrives in a role where technology, customer contact, and project management are combined.

To succeed in this role, we see that you have:

• A university degree in chemistry, chemical engineering, materials science, or equivalent
• Experience from the manufacturing industry
• Experience in product development of chemical products
• Knowledge of plastic materials, polymers, or plastic manufacturing – experience with PVC is advantageous but not a requirement
• Ability to work structured and analytically with technical issues
• Good knowledge of Swedish and English, both spoken and written

As a person, you are self-motivated and take responsibility for driving your work forward. You have strong personal drive and are accustomed to delivering according to agreed goals and timeframes. At the same time, you are unpretentious and appreciate collaborating with others to find the best solutions.

You are communicative and have an easy time building trusting relationships, both internally and externally. Since the role involves many contact points, we see that you enjoy customer dialogues and explaining technical issues clearly.

We also believe that you are curious, development-oriented, and motivated by learning new things in a business that is constantly evolving.
