What role you will play in our team

Help grow our ProxximaTM polyolefin thermoset system business. These resin formulations are based on cyclic C5 monomers and other proprietary monomers and additives. Our catalyst formulations have strong foundations in Nobel Prize-winning technology developed by Professor Robert Grubbs and his research team. This powerful combination produces polymers that have the capability to outperform today’s thermoset composite solutions across a broad set of everyday applications such as wind turbine blades, electric vehicle parts, construction, and anticorrosion coatings.

Your role is to demonstrate the application and performance advantages of ProxximaTM polyolefin thermoset coatings technology and help prospective customers adopt it for use in their existing coating products.

Your office is at the European Technology center located in Brussels, Belgium. However, a significant part of your time will be spent collaborating with technical and commercial colleagues located at the Baytown Technology and Engineering Complex (BTEC), in Baytown, TX, as well as occasionally traveling internationally to support customer trials.

What will you do

• Provide technical support to prospective EU customers using Proxxima™ polyolfefin thermoset resins and catalysts to develop anti-corrosion, marine, atmospheric, and other industrial coatings.

• Educate customers on the advantages of coatings based on pure Proxxima™ polyolfefin thermoset products and hybrids combining ProxximaTM resins and catalysts with epoxy, urethane, aspartic urea, and siloxane, to optimize coating performance for the numerous applications within these segments.

• Collaborate with technical and commercial colleagues to help grow the Proxxima™ business in this segment.

• Collaborate with technical colleagues at our Baytown, Texas facilities to fabricate smooth, defect-free coating samples needed to assess corrosion resistance and other performance parameters mimicking targeted industrial service conditions.

• Assist customers in process optimization and, where needed, provide guidance on equipment upgrades.

• Provide technical insights gleaned from the market to help guide new product and application developments.

• Provide market insights to inform and update business strategy.

• Co-author promotional brochures and technical data sheets highlighting performance benefits.

• Train and mentor external hires and future CADs that join and are less experienced.
