Working closely with scientists, chemists and engineers, the role will involve operating laboratory equipment, recording and presenting results, and contributing to the continuous improvement and scaleup of new products.

- Assisting in the development of the next generation of carbon negative building materials
- Carrying out formulation development

- Be educated in a STEM-related subject
- Want to be part of a curious, goal oriented and purpose driven team
- Be meticulous with detail and data accuracy
- Have a positive attitude and enthusiasm for learning

What do you get in return?

As our next Adaptavator, you will build on your existing strengths through a blend of mentorship, hands‑on development, and collaboration with external partners. You will have the opportunity to work on, and help lead, genuinely groundbreaking technology with the potential to transform the construction industry.

We are a supportive and ambitious team with bold ideas, strong beliefs, and a shared drive to create meaningful change. For those who are curious, proactive and willing to push themselves, there is real opportunity to grow alongside the business as we continue to lead carbon change in construction.

We are fighting climate change with carbon change, and we firmly believe that our work is pivotal to achieve net zero by 2050. The endeavour is ambitious, but we are up for the challenge! Are you?
