This role owns technical execution across polymer formulations, production processes, and cross-functional implementation-delivering measurable improvements in quality, consistency, and performance.\nThe ideal candidate does not simply follow process-they interrogate it. They question assumptions, pressure-test data, and build conclusions from evidence rather than convention. Direct experience with polymer processing equipment is valued, but the core requirement is the ability to rapidly decompose complex systems, identify root causes over symptoms, and apply disciplined methodology where others see ambiguity.\nThis is an execution-focused, highly autonomous role grounded in production realities.\nResponsibilities\nLead multiple technical projects involving polymer-based products and manufacturing processes from initiation through completion.\n\nApply critical evaluation to material-process interactions-challenging assumptions and distinguishing signal from noise to identify true performance levers.\n\nDevelop project plans, monitor progress, and proactively manage risks and dependencies.\n\nApply structured problem-solving methodologies (Six Sigma, DMAIC, root cause analysis) to resolve technical issues; go beyond surface symptoms to identify systemic causes.\n\nDesign, plan, and oversee production trials; critically assess data quality and integrity before translating findings into recommendations.\n\nDrive process control, standardization, and continuous improvement initiatives.\n\nEnsure technical requirements align with customer, regulatory, and business objectives.\n\nCoordinate prototype development, testing, validation, and launch activities.\n\nCollaborate across R&D, manufacturing, quality, maintenance, and supply chain to implement technical solutions.\n\nProvide rigorous technical review of assumptions, proposed changes, and data interpretations-pushing back where the evidence does not support the conclusion.\n\nSuccess Metrics\nReduction in process variability and improved consistency of key products and process parameters.\n\nEffective resolution of complex technical and quality issues through structured, evidence-based methodologies.\n\nOn-time, on-spec delivery of technical projects meeting defined performance objectives.\n\nImplementation and sustainment of process controls and standardized practices.\n\nDemonstrated ability to transfer critical thinking approaches and problem-solving frameworks to others.\n\nStrong cross-functional feedback on technical leadership, clarity, and rigor.\n\nQualifications\nBachelor's degree in chemical engineering or related engineering discipline.\n\n7+ years in Engineering, R&D, Technical Program Management, Product Development, or Project Management.\n\nDemonstrated strength in critical thinking: ability to evaluate evidence, identify flawed assumptions, and construct sound technical conclusions under uncertainty.\n\nExperience applying structured problem-solving or continuous improvement methodologies in a manufacturing environment.\n\nExperience with polymer formulations, plastics processing, or related materials systems preferred.\n\nFamiliarity with manufacturing equipment such as extruders, calendars, or presses.\n\nSix Sigma certification or equivalent practical experience a plus.\n\nStrong communication skills; ability to translate complex technical findings into clear, actionable guidance for cross-functional audiences.\n\nProficiency in Microsoft Office; ability to manage competing priorities under tight deadlines.\n\nMust be able to travel up to 50%\n\nMust pass background check and drug screen.\n\nWhat We Offer\nA commitment that Safety is #1\n\nCompetitive benefits, pay, and retirement plan options!\n\nCareer growth, stability, and flexible work arrangements.\n\nResponsible Manufacturing - Protecting Our Planet for the Future\nWe utilize renewable energy and a closed loop recycled water process.\n\nWe are committed to reducing greenhouse emissions and water consumption.\n\nWe are the only flooring company recognized by the Asthma and Allergy foundation.\n\nWho we are:\nWith a history of more than 140 years, Tarkett is a worldwide leader in innovative and sustainable flooring and sport surface solutions, generating turnover of €3.3 billion in 2025.
