R&D Engineer for mechanical, physical laboratory in Group Development

Do you have an interest in product properties and testing? And would you like to advise and guide projects from initial product testing to certification as our new Group Specialist?

Then grab this chance to join a department where you will have the opportunity to impact our development projects and hone your personal skills in a role where you will get to network internally and externally with colleagues across our organisation and other external fora.

This is who we are
At our HQ in Hedehusene, you will become part of our Group Research and Development department. Here, you will be stepping into a vibrant project organisation and work alongside lab technicians as well as fellow engineers as part of a dedicated team. Doing so, you will work in a well-equipped laboratory, evaluate and conclude on various tests within thermal performance, mechanical and physical tests.

“We truly practice the art of teamwork within this team. We’re always looking for ways to make improvements, sharing knowledge and asking questions, which makes for a very dynamic learning environment,” explains hiring manager Susanne Dehn.

This is the role
Focusing on thermal performance and other product properties, you will plan tests, perform analyses and present conclusions. The work is very varied, and priorities may shift from hour to hour. Occasionally, you will be travelling to factories across the globe, guiding local teams to perform tests according to standards. Doing so, you will be using the knowledge you gain in the lab working with lab technicians and fellow engineers, making analyses and exploring new business areas for our products.

More specifically, your key tasks include:

• Supporting R&D development projects and participating in/initiating line trials at our factories
• Diving into test methods and data to become the expert in the field
• Preparing statistics and documentation providing reports of test results to project managers and project groups
• Participating in internal and external networks at test institutes utilizing the knowledge gained for improvement of standards for insulation products

This is what you offer
You enjoy being part of a lab and are ready to dive into the realm of data and statistics. You do not need to know all there is to know about thermal performance or mechanical testing, but you will need to be curious and want to specialise within the field. It is also a great plus if you have material knowledge, as it will give you a base understanding of your future tasks.

In addition, we imagine that you:

• Bring a degree in chemical engineering or other scientific area
• Have a couple or more of years of experience from a similar position, ideally within development
• Bring solid communications skills, both written and oral
• Are willing to travel approx. 20 days/year across the globe
• Are a true team player
• Master the English language with ease

This is what we offer
Working in our state-of-the-art laboratory, you will have the optimal set-up to do your work. What is more, we offer you plenty of opportunity to expand your knowledge as you explore the area of product properties for a wide range of stone wool products. You will also have the chance to take on more responsibility along the way and step into more international networks on behalf of the ROCKWOOL Group.
