We have built skilled chemicals talent pools against our in-depth mapping exercises and know exactly how to access the skills your organisation needs to remain competitive.

Evolve’s tried and tested recruitment methodology and first-hand chemical manufacturing experience enables us to mitigate complex recruitment processes for faster hiring, without compromising on the quality of the candidate.

From small family-owned Australian businesses to multinational enterprises, we find scientific personnel committed to sustainable chemical manufacturing processes:

COMPLIANCE: Our talent networks keep track of ever-changing legislation, and will advise on requirements for local schemes, government authorities, and relevant standards, to ensure that your business remains compliant without jeopardising output. The QC/QA specialists we supply will implement comprehensive testing protocols, monitor your production processes, and manage all quality documentation to the best possible standard, whilst our Regulatory Affairs specialists will navigate governing regulations for chemical manufacturing and product distribution to keep your operation commercially viable.

SAFETY: Your Scientific and Technical staff play a crucial role in research, development, production, quality control, and safety assurance of chemicals and chemical products. Whether we’re sourcing Process Safety Engineers to identify potential hazards or develop emergency response plans, or EHS specialists to ensure that chemical manufacturing and disposal processes adhere to environmental regulations and safety standards, the talent we supply will manage your safety protocols, handle waste management, and mitigate potential hazards for a safer manufacturing facility and product.

ANALYTICAL SKILLS: We will secure professionals with exceptional analytical and troubleshooting skills to evaluate chemical samples and apply critical thinking when processing scientific data to make informed decisions about your business. Whether you seek to scale up your lab process to industrial levels or seek Chemists to conduct research and development for new chemical compounds, your critical data will be in safe hands and under stringent quality control.

INNOVATION: The future of the chemical industry relies on the utilisation of all available global resources, reducing waste products and protecting the planet. This global need is supported by national and international legislation in the form of The Industrial Chemicals Act, ISO9001 and EPA regulations – our candidates know this. The new ways of looking at polymers, composites, coatings, and other materials need experienced Materials and Research Scientists to both advance the understanding of chemical reactions, materials, and processes and to enhance your fundamental knowledge. Our talent pools will deliver these skills.
