Head of Industrialization – Continuous Flow Chemistry

WHO ARE WE? Our Company : We are a French Small Enterprise, founded in 1995, which business is centered around the production and the trading of compounds labeled with stable isotopes, mostly used for applications in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), Positron Emission Tomography (PET), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Mass Spectrometry (MS). Over the past 10 years, high-value markets in Electronics, Pharmaceutics and Energy have emerged, for which, thanks to constant innovation associated with massive investments in R&D, we have developed products and solutions. These include home-made flow chemistry manufacturing prototypes capable of competitively producing up to 10 tons / year of chemical compounds. The pipe of products and solutions coming from R&D is growing and now need to be industrialized, the process fully automatized and taken to the production step. In this boost context, we are looking to welcome our Head of Industrialization. With a team of 20 employees at our production facility located at Les Ulis, France, we have built a deep and solid expertise and recognition among its 500 worldwide customers Our Values : Our success and leadership in the industrial markets we address come from an understanding all the cultures combined with disruptive scientific innovations (flow chemistry prototypes to create top of the art industrial processes) associated with a set of core customer service values . We create a work environment that values Freedom, Courage, Creativity, Responsibility, and Leadership. Our day-to-day goal is to encourage constant learning to keep our team highly engaged . THE JOB? The Context: As a Head of Industrialization, you will play a key role in scaling up chemical processes from laboratory research to full-scale production (from 10 - 100 grams to 100 kg - 10-tons scale). You will manage a team of engineers (5 people) and will oversee developing and optimizing chemical manufacturing processes, ensuring that they stand in a full automated skids, meeting efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and of course stringent quality and safety standards. A couple of mature projects have recently entered in the industrialization step, therefore you will join the company at the perfect timing to take them over and complete the full transfer to production.
