About the Role

Risehill Data Analysis is seeking a Lab Engineer – Functional Masterbatch to support the development, optimisation and quality control of high-performance functional masterbatch products.

The role combines polymer formulation, laboratory testing, QA/QC and production trial support, working closely with R&D and production teams to translate laboratory formulations into consistent pilot and commercial products.

Our initial product portfolio includes Agricultural, Anti-Fog, Anti-Static and Anti-Microbial Masterbatch, with opportunities to develop additional functional and specialty masterbatch products as the business expands.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and optimise functional masterbatch formulations based on performance, processing requirements and cost.
• Select and evaluate suitable polymer carriers, additives and functional ingredients.
• Conduct laboratory formulation trials and prepare samples for pilot/production trials.
• Perform essential laboratory testing including MFI, density and moisture analysis, dispersion and pellet quality evaluation, physical and visual inspection, formulation/component verification, as well as other relevant polymer/material characterisation.
• Analyse test results and recommend formulation or process improvements.
• Support production trials, scale-up and process parameter optimisation.
• Troubleshoot formulation, dispersion, processing and product-quality issues.
• Establish and maintain product specifications and QC procedures.
• Conduct raw-material and finished-product QC and maintain batch traceability.
• Investigate non-conformities and support root-cause analysis and CAPA.
• Prepare formulation records, laboratory reports, TDS and other technical documentation.
• Evaluate new additives, raw materials and technologies for product development and cost optimisation.
• Support customer technical trials and troubleshooting when required.
• Maintain laboratory equipment, testing procedures, calibration/verification records and laboratory safety standards.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Polymer Engineering, Polymer Science, Materials Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Plastics Engineering or a related field.
• Minimum 2 years of relevant experience in masterbatch, polymer compounding, plastics processing, polymer R&D, formulation or QA/QC laboratory work.
• Practical understanding of polymer materials, additives, compounding and masterbatch production.
• Hands-on experience with laboratory testing and data analysis; experience with MFI, density and moisture testing is highly desirable.
• Strong analytical, troubleshooting and problem-solving skills.
• Good technical documentation and reporting skills.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and laboratory data analysis.

Advantageous

• Experience with twin-screw extrusion or masterbatch production.
• Experience developing functional additives/masterbatch.
• Familiarity with DSC, TGA, FTIR, spectrophotometry or other polymer characterisation techniques.
• Experience with DOE, statistical optimisation or data-driven formulation.
• Knowledge of sustainable/bio-based polymer additives.
• Experience with ISO 9001 or laboratory quality systems.
