About the role

James Hardie is seeking a Senior Polymer Scientist/Engineer to own PVC materials technology from formulation design through manufacturing implementation. This role bridges laboratory research and production, requiring deep fundamentals in polymer science and PVC processing.

Locations: Wilmington, OH or Fontana, CA. You will develop PVC formulations, support extrusion and compounding, run tests (DSC, TGA, DMA) and communicate results to 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.
