About the role

Certified Group is seeking a senior R&D scientist to lead the chemistry program, supervise technicians, and advance analytical methods across regulated industries. You will conduct extractions and instrumental analyses, process data, and deliver client-ready results with strict deadlines. The role requires a PhD in Chemistry or related field (or MSc with substantial experience), hands-on MS-based method development/validation, and the ability to coordinate with QA and regulatory teams.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
