Specialist Recruitment Across Material Science Markets
Connecting specialist technical, commercial, operational and leadership talent with organisations operating across international material science markets.
Connecting Material Science Talent With Opportunity
Material science is at the heart of innovation across industries, from advanced polymers and composites to coatings, adhesives, engineered materials and performance solutions.
We recruit across the full value chain – from research and material development through to technical, commercial, operational and leadership roles.
Our clients include global manufacturers, specialty producers, distributors and innovators developing materials that enable cleaner, stronger, lighter and smarter solutions.

Markets We Support
Our Material Science practice spans specialist markets where material performance, processing, application and commercial requirements shape both products and the talent needed to develop and commercialise them.

Industrial Additives & Specialty Compounds
Performance additives, modifiers and specialty compounds supporting industrial processing, product performance and manufacturing applications.

Coatings, Adhesives, Sealants & Elastomers
Raw materials, formulations and technologies supporting coatings, adhesives, sealants, elastomers (CASE) and associated industrial applications.

Plastics, Polymers & Masterbatch
Polymers, compounds, masterbatch, additives and technologies supporting plastics processing and performance applications.

Automotive & Aerospace Materials
Advanced and performance materials supporting durability, efficiency and demanding automotive and aerospace applications.

Construction & Building Materials
Specialty chemicals, additives and material technologies used across construction, infrastructure and building-product applications.

Lubricants & Refinery Chemicals
Lubricants, additives and specialist chemical technologies supporting industrial, automotive and refinery applications.
Technical & Market Understanding

Effective recruitment within Material Science requires more than matching a job title to a CV. Product knowledge, technical experience, manufacturing processes, applications and end markets can all determine whether a professional is genuinely relevant to an appointment.
Our sector exposure includes catalysts, pigments, additives, stabilisers, flame retardants, wetting agents, corrosion inhibitors and performance modifiers, alongside polymers, coatings, adhesives, elastomers and other specialty materials used across industrial applications.
This understanding helps us recognise where a professional’s experience may be relevant, particularly where technical knowledge and expertise transfer across adjacent materials, applications or end markets.
Recruitment Across Material Science Organisations
Our Material Science recruitment spans the functions involved in developing, manufacturing and commercialising performance materials and specialty chemical products.
We support technical, commercial, operational and leadership appointments, from specialist positions through to senior functional and C-suite roles.
Whether you are building specialist capability or considering the next step in your career, our sector knowledge helps us understand the experience, market context and technical background behind each appointment.
