JOB DESCRIPTION



Solving challenges is the very foundation of who we are.

After all, in the beginning, our founder, sea captain Robert Fergusson, didn't particularly care about paint.

When he founded our company in 1921, he just wanted to keep his ship intact and stumbled upon a valuable solution.

Today, that discovery is Rust-Oleum Corporation.


The same passion that drove the Captain to spend his next few years creating the world's first rust-preventative paint still drives us today.

When we see a problem, we work diligently until we've perfected a solution, which has led to some of the most cutting edge, durable and innovative products in the industry.

Our creative and talented team of over 2000 people across every corner of the world, help us remain the global leader in protective paints and coatings for both home and industry.


Here's what you can expect every day:

• Develop safety procedures to be employed by workers operating equipment or working in close proximity to on-going chemical reactions.


• Troubleshoot problems with chemical manufacturing processes.


• Evaluate chemical equipment and processes to identify ways to optimize performance or to ensure compliance with safety and environmental regulations.


• Conduct research to develop new and improved chemical manufacturing processes.


• Determine most effective arrangement of operations such as mixing, crushing, heat transfer, distillation, and drying.


• Perform tests and monitor performance of processes throughout stages of production to determine degree of control over variables such as temperature, density, specific gravity, and pressure.


• Design and plan layout of equipment.


• Prepare estimate of production costs and production progress reports for management.


• Design measurement and control systems for chemical plants based on data collected in laboratory experiments and in pilot plant operations.


• Develop processes to separate components of liquids or gases or generate electrical currents using controlled chemical processes.
