Poste

In the context of a major transition toward fluorine-free (FFF) solutions and the strengthening of international environmental and regulatory requirements for firefighting foams, you will bring immediately operational expertise and lead high-impact development projects with significant regulatory stakes.

Reporting to the R&D Department, you will play a central role in the development and optimization of FFF formulations for markets such as heavy industry & petrochemicals, aviation, marine, public sector, and infrastructure. You will be involved throughout the entire development cycle, from raw material research to industrialization.

Lead the development and optimization of fluorine-free (FFF) formulationsDesign and fine-tune complex formulation systems integrating surfactants, polymers, solvents, hydrotropes, and functional additivesMaster the physicochemical mechanisms of foam performance: expansion, drainage, burnback resistance, fresh water/salt water compatibilityActively contribute to fire testing programs (laboratory, small-scale, large-scale) and certification processes (EN1568, UL162, ICAO, MILSPEC, etc.)Work closely with production, industrialization, quality, procurement, and regulatory affairs teamsParticipate in the identification and evaluation of new raw materialsLead pilot phases and ensure successful scale-up to industrial production (process robustness, repeatability, long-term stability)Conduct international technological and competitive intelligence
