Vacancy: New

Title: Technical Lead, Formulation & Product Development

Compensation: $60,000 - $70,000 Annually.

The final salary offered will be determined based on the candidate’s experience, knowledge, skills, and qualifications relevant to the role.

Job Summary

Empack Spraytech is seeking a senior formulation chemist who can combine hands-on product development with technical leadership. This is an opportunity to help shape how our R&D group develops products, solves technical problems, supports customers, and builds long-term innovation capability.

The role will initially be hands-on, with an emphasis on learning aerosol development, packaging, scale-up, and manufacturing. Over the first 6–12 months, the successful candidate will transition toward greater ownership of complex technical programs, development systems, customer-facing work, mentoring, and the technical direction of the R&D group.

This is a technical leadership role without direct reports. You will mentor other chemists, own your technical decisions, and work with the R&D Manager as a guide and strategic partner.

What You Will Own

Lead personal-care and consumer-product development programs from concept and feasibility through scale-up, validation, and commercialization.
Formulate and troubleshoot products, initially working hands-on to develop practical expertise in aerosol systems, packaging, processing, and manufacturing.
Own technical decisions, experimental strategy, risk assessment, and recommendations for assigned development programs.
Establish and standardize R&D best practices, SOPs, technical procedures, documentation standards, and structured product-development methods.
Apply disciplined experimental design and data-based decision-making to improve development speed, robustness, and technical confidence.
Mentor chemists through technical coaching, project guidance, review of experimental work, and practical problem-solving.
Lead customer-facing development projects, technical presentations, product and process assessments, and feasibility evaluations.
Support proposals and technical sales by translating customer needs into credible development plans, resource requirements, risks, and commercialization pathways.
Solve complex formulation, stability, compatibility, scale-up, and manufacturing challenges in partnership with Operations, Quality, Regulatory, Sales, and customers.
Develop product specifications, master formulas, manufacturing instructions, test methods, stability protocols, and technical transfer packages.
Assess new technologies, raw materials, packaging systems, and development opportunities that can strengthen Empack’s capabilities and support growth.
Challenge existing practices where needed and help define the longer-term technical direction of the R&D group.

What You Bring

A bachelor’s degree in chemistry, chemical engineering, formulation science, or a related scientific discipline.
Approximately 5–10 years of progressive formulation and product-development experience in personal care, cosmetics, consumer products, or a related industry.
Deep practical knowledge of formulation, raw-material selection, testing, stability, scale-up, manufacturing, and technical transfer.
A demonstrated record of taking products from concept through commercialization.
Experience leading complex technical projects and making sound decisions with incomplete or evolving information.
The ability to mentor other technical professionals and raise the quality of their experimental work, documentation, and problem-solving.
Strong customer-facing communication skills and the ability to explain technical issues, trade-offs, risks, and recommendations clearly.
Commercial awareness and the ability to balance technical performance, manufacturability, timing, cost, regulatory requirements, and customer expectations.
Comfort working in a fast-moving contract manufacturing environment where priorities may shift and practical execution matters.

Assets

Experience developing hair care, skin care, styling, grooming, or other personal-care products.
Experience with aerosols, pressurized packaging, pumps, or other specialized delivery systems
Knowledge of GMP, quality systems, stability programs, regulated consumer products, or North American cosmetic requirements.
Experience creating technical procedures, implementing design-of-experiments approaches, or improving R&D systems.

What Success Looks Like

You quickly establish credibility through strong technical judgment and hands-on contribution.
You develop the aerosol and manufacturing knowledge needed to lead projects confidently within Empack’s environment.
You improve the consistency, rigor, and speed of product development through better methods, standards, and documentation.
You become a trusted technical partner to customers, colleagues, and leadership.
You expand the capability of the R&D group—not simply the number of projects it can manage.

Equal Opportunity & Accessibility Commitment:

At Empack, we believe that a strong and inclusive workforce drives better results—on the shop floor, in our offices, and in the communities we serve. We are proud to be an equal opportunity employer, committed to building a respectful, inclusive, and accessible environment for everyone—regardless of race, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, disability, religion, culture, language, or background.

We understand that manufacturing careers have historically left some voices out of the conversation, and we’re actively working to change that. We encourage individuals from all walks of life—including women, Indigenous peoples, racialized persons, newcomers, veterans, and persons with disabilities—to apply, even if your experience doesn’t check every box in the job description. Your potential, attitude, and willingness to learn matter.

Accessibility at Every Step:

We are committed to an inclusive recruitment process. If you require any accommodations to participate fully in the application or interview process—whether that’s support with completing forms, alternative formats, or physical accessibility—please reach out to [email protected]. We’ll do our best to meet your needs with respect and care.

We believe everyone deserves the opportunity to thrive, and we’re building a workplace where people feel safe, supported, and valued—for who they are and what they bring.

Pay: $60,000.00-$70,000.00 per year
