Job Description

Ready to drive sustainable dairy innovation with a 140-year industry leader? Join a cutting-edge R&D team developing next-generation sanitizers and disinfectants that help feed the world safely.

About Our Client Our client is an established global leader in dairy technology with operations in 100+ markets, known for their innovative, collaborative, and safety-first culture. Their Kansas City facility serves as a $1M renovated R&D headquarters, recently expanded to become a global innovation hub combining advanced chemistry with robotic automation.

The Impact You'll Make As Chemist I, you'll support product development from concept to commercialization, working on formulations that directly impact dairy farm safety and efficiency worldwide. You'll be part of a specialized team where 78% hold advanced degrees, working with state-of-the-art analytical equipment including HPLC, GC-MS, and advanced spectroscopy systems.

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct formulation work for new dairy sanitizers and disinfectants, contributing to patent-protected innovations
• Perform routine physical and chemical stability testing using advanced analytical techniques (HPLC, UV-VIS, titration methods)
• Test and evaluate new raw materials for antimicrobial efficacy and regulatory compliance
• Independently execute laboratory techniques including wet chemistry, analytical method development, and pilot batch production
• Prepare detailed technical reports and present project progress to cross-functional teams
• Maintain laboratory notebooks and follow GMP compliance protocols for FDA/EPA regulated products
• Collaborate with senior chemists on scale-up procedures and commercial manufacturing support

Required Qualifications

• BS in Chemistry, Biochemistry, or related field
• 0-3 years of analytical chemistry experience (internships and academic research count)
• Competency in chemical analysis techniques and laboratory instrumentation

Preferred Qualifications

• Exposure to HPLC, UV-VIS spectrophotometry, or chromatography methods
• Experience with dairy, food science, or pharmaceutical applications
• Knowledge of GMP, FDA, or EPA regulatory requirements
• Academic or internship experience with formulation chemistry or product development

What We Offer Market-competitive salary plus comprehensive benefits from Day 1, including 401k matching up to 6%, Blue Cross Blue Shield coverage, and HSA seeding. Enjoy flexible work arrangements, paid vacation plus 1-week Christmas shutdown, and direct exposure to cutting-edge dairy chemistry innovations. Clear advancement pathway from analytical roles to formulation science and product development leadership.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out Join a specialized dairy chemistry team where your work directly impacts sustainable food production for 9 billion people. Access to advanced R&D facilities, international collaboration opportunities, and mentorship from PhD-level scientists. Be part of integrating 140 years of innovation heritage with modern chemistry solutions.
