Do you have a passion for innovation and chemistry? Join our chemists, specialists and scientists dedicated to research, and collaborate with universities, customers and vendors in different projects. Or become a part of a team of lab engineers who primarily assist in research and carry out lab tests in different focus areas, mostly based on OXO and polyalcohol chemistry at our global sites. There are great opportunities in many disciplines, including analytical chemistry, application development as well as process and product development in R&D. Our development activities are often on a global level, and you may serve as a project manager or specialist in these activities.

Technology

In technology  there are great opportunities for process engineers, with the focus on development and work with investment projects, often on a global level. Our process engineers can also become project managers or specialists. If you want to work with optimization of process flows, there is a specialized group for this consisting of process control engineers.

Production

In production, you have the challenging opportunity of constantly finding better, smarter ways of working. Our process engineers primarily work with troubleshooting, eliminating bottlenecks, making continuous improvements and optimization. Our production management staff leads production. To produce what customers have ordered, in the right quantity, with the right quality and at the right time, we depend on our skilled process operators and operating technicians around the world. Operating and monitoring the production processes in our control rooms and plants is the primary task.

Supply chain

Are planning and logistic optimization words that motivate you? If you work with supply chain planning at Perstorp, these words become a natural part of your daily work. Planning involves many different professions at different levels, both globally and locally. However, they all share the same goal: to plan material/product flows in a way that makes them as optimal as possible. We also have professionals working with logistics development, examining goods flows, packaging and transport.
Another function within the supply chain area is procurement. On an average more than 70% of our total turnover goes to buying production-related materials and services, as well as non-production related materials and services, to keep our customers, sites and people going. This demonstrates the substantial opportunities and responsibilities the procurement function have when it comes to the overall performance of the Perstorp Group. Is this something for you?
