Chemist (Bachelor/Master) Recycling & Disposal

We manufacture high-quality refining chemicals, intermediates and exclusive active ingredients for the world’s leading chemical, biotech and pharmaceutical industries. As a company with a production site in Dottikon in the canton of Aargau, we specialise in safety-critical reactions and position ourselves as a strategic development and production partner and market leader.

Where there’s a will, there’s a way.

The Recycling & Disposal department processes residual material streams from our own production as well as from external partners. The environmentally sound utilisation of these materials is mainly carried out in our own waste recovery and wastewater pre-treatment plants or in cooperation with external partners in Switzerland and neighbouring countries. To ensure ecologically and economically optimised handling of recycling and disposal projects as well as to assess chemical laboratory and operational procedures, we are looking to strengthen our team.
