RD Chemist

• Developing new products or refining existing ones by enhancing their performance increasing efficiency reducing costs and ensuring high quality. Testing and evaluating raw materials.
• Product Development: Formulate and conduct laboratory testing. Analyze lab data and draw actionable conclusions. Field evaluations and production trials associated with such approved development projects and new products. Strictly follow PCP procedures in SIP. Supervise the setting of specifications for new products including sources and data for raw materials manufacturing procedures and finished product testing (standard and performance testing) packaging requirements and Safety & Environment.
• Sustainable Product Development: Incorporate sustainability principles into the research and development of cementitious products. Explore alternative materials additives and manufacturing processes that reduce environmental impact while maintaining product performance and quality.
• Efficiency Improvements: Identify opportunities to optimize production processes and formulations to enhance efficiency and reduce resource consumption. Implement measures such as process automation equipment upgrades and waste minimization initiatives to streamline operations and lower production costs.
• Raw Material Optimization: Explore alternative raw materials and additives that offer cost advantages without compromising product performance or quality. Conduct thorough cost benefit analyses to assess the economic feasibility of using different materials and select options that provide the greatest cost savings. Ensure that Raw Material Specifications (RMS) are
  prepared for any new raw material RMS are updated for any approved new source of an existing raw material and that all RMS are current and any changes or additions are distributed to all concerned parties.
• Data Collection and Analysis: Collect relevant data from various sources including experimental trials market research and financial reports to support decisionmaking and performance evaluation. Analyze data using statistical methods modeling techniques and software tools to
  extract meaningful insights and trends.
• BOM Management: Ensure that Bills of Material are updated for any change to raw materials or formulations relating to manufactured products.
• Quality Assurance: Implement rigorous quality control measures to ensure the reliability durability and performance of cementitious products developed by the R&D team.
• Technology Assessment: Stay abreast of emerging trends technologies and best practices in the field of cementitious materials. Evaluate and assess new technologies for potential integration into product development efforts.
• Crossfunctional Collaboration: Collaborate closely with other departments including manufacturing sales and marketing to ensure seamless integration of R&D efforts with business operations and commercialization strategies.
• Regulatory Compliance: Ensure compliance with relevant industry standards regulations and environmental guidelines in the development and testing of cementitious products.
• Continuous Improvement: Implement a culture of continuous improvement within the R&D department where sustainability is integrated into the innovation process. Encourage experimentation knowledge sharing and interdisciplinary collaboration to drive meaningful progress towards sustainability objectives operational excellence and innovative solutions.
• ISO Compliance: Ensure QC comply with ISO9001 and ISO 14005
