Description
Job title: Industrial Placement
Location: Teesside (Billingham/Stockton)
We are seeking 4 highly motivated Chemistry students for different placement opportunities within the Catalyst Technologies Business to run from July 2026 - July 2027 (1-year placements). As one of 4 placement students, you will join our research R&D team based at the Chilton & Stockton sites (Billingham/Stockton-on-Tees) and be involved in one of our coveted research projects.
In these placements you will gain experience working in a world class R&D facility whilst receiving support for your own personal and professional development. Full training will be given to assist you in successfully undertaking your responsibilities. The team of scientists at our sites are always open to teach you a new skill or offer their help and expertise.
In R&D no two days are alike, therefore a “typical day” will vary depending on the project. In general, it will involve the planning/designing of your experiments, performing the experiment, and analysing the results. You will be able to learn new characterisation techniques and/or use pieces of equipment you might be un-familiar with, broadening your knowledge of the chemical sciences. You will have the opportunity to be involved in the processes of catalyst development, from synthesis to characterisation to testing.
There will be meetings centred around EHS and project work alongside world class training sessions. You will read scientific papers, write reports, and create presentations about your work and improve not only your experimental and technical knowledge but also your scientific presentation skills.
Please note, we may take the advert down should sufficient applications be received. Therefore early application is advised.
