Sika
The successful candidate will lead laboratory and field investigations, develop new products, optimize existing technologies, and collaborate with global cross-functional teams to bring innovative solutions from concept to market.
This role focuses on the research, testing, and commercialization of advanced corrosion inhibitor technologies and serves as a key link between corrosion science, concrete technology, and real-world construction needs supporting the research and development of innovative durability solutions for concrete and construction applications.
Specific Responsibilities:
- Develop and evaluate corrosion protection technologies for concrete and reinforced structures.
- Investigating corrosion initiation and propagation mechanisms
- Studying passivation, adsorption, and inhibitor film formation
- Correlating inhibitor chemistry with corrosion performance
- Developing novel inhibitor technologies and synergistic formulations
- Building a mechanistic understanding of inhibitor-metal interactions
- Collaborating with universities and research institutes and monitor industry trends, emerging technologies, and relevant technical standards.
- Evaluating the corrosion performance of metallic materials, coatings, inhibitor systems, and construction-related substrates using electrochemical and analytical methodologies
- Design, conduct, and interpret laboratory and field corrosion testing, including electrochemical methods.
- Lead product development and optimization of corrosion inhibitor technologies.
- Investigate corrosion-related failures and provide technical recommendations.
- Analyze test data and prepare technical reports, presentations, and recommendations.
- Support product scale-up, manufacturing implementation, and technology transfer.
- Collaborate with R&D, Technical Service, Product Management, Manufacturing, and external partners.
- Provide technical training and expertise on corrosion, durability, and testing methodologies.
- Contribute to intellectual property development and technical documentation.
- Ensure compliance with safety, quality, and regulatory requirements.
