Solving challenges is the very foundation of who we are. After all, in the beginning, our founder, sea captain Robert Fergusson, didn't particularly care about paint. When he founded our company in 1921, he just wanted to keep his ship intact and stumbled upon a valuable solution. Today, that discovery is Rust-Oleum Corporation. The same passion that drove the Captain to spend his next few years creating the world's first rust-preventative paint still drives us today. When we see a problem, we work diligently until we've perfected a solution, which has led to some of the most cutting edge, durable and innovative products in the industry. Our creative and talented team of over 2000 people across every corner of the world, help us remain the global leader in protective paints and coatings for both home and industry. Here's what you can expect every day: Analyze organic and inorganic compounds to determine chemical and physical properties, composition, structure, relationships, and reactions, utilizing chromatography, spectroscopy, and spectrophotometry techniques. Maintain laboratory instruments to ensure proper working order and troubleshoot malfunctions when needed. Develop, improve, and customize products, equipment, formulas, processes, and analytical methods. Conduct quality control tests. Direct, coordinate, and advise personnel in test procedures for analyzing components and physical properties of coatings and related materials. Prepare test solutions, compounds, and reagents for laboratory personnel to conduct test. Compile and analyze test information to determine process or equipment operating efficiency and to diagnose malfunctions. Confer with peers and supervisors to conduct analyses of research projects, interpret test results, or develop nonstandard tests. Write technical papers and reports and prepare standards and specifications for processes, products, or tests. Induce changes in composition of substances by introducing heat, light, energy, and chemical catalysts for quantitative and qualitative analysis. Rust-Oleum is an equal opportunity employer. Employment selection and related decisions are made without regard to sex, race, age, disability, religion, national origin, color, or any other protected class.
