About you

To be successful in this role, you need to have good knowledge of polymer properties, performance, processing and conversion technologies, including injection molding, extrusion and compounding. You have gained this expertise through university studies in Polymer / Chemical Engineering and through professional experience in a customer facing role like technical service. Any experience in the automotive industry is a strong advantage.

As English is our company language, fluency in English is required. Italian language skills are essential, and any additional local European languages are a plus.

Beyond technical skills, your customers and colleagues recognize you as solution orientated and a curious and creative thinker who takes initiative to explore new business opportunities. With your commercial intuition, you quickly grasp the potential value of new solutions or opportunities.

While you’re a strong team collaborator, you also know how to work independently to achieve your goals. We believe that someone with passion and drive, who enjoys traveling, meeting people, and engaging with a variety of tasks, contacts, and technical challenges, will thrive most in this role.
