Position Overview
The Lab Chemist Specialist in Dibba Al Fujairah is a technically versatile and client-engaged chemistry role that spans experimental work, analytical chemistry, process development, and technical client support. You will bring an excellent understanding of chemical principles, strong data analysis capabilities, and a methodical, problem-solving approach to laboratory challenges. From designing and conducting experiments to analysing results, developing improved processes, and providing expert technical guidance to clients, this role demands a well-rounded chemist who is as comfortable at the bench as they are communicating findings in both Arabic and English. A UAE driving licence — while advantageous — adds operational flexibility across Fujairah’s industrial and client site landscape.
Why This Role Matters: As Lab Chemist Specialist in Dibba Al Fujairah, you bring the scientific rigour and client-facing communication that turns laboratory data into commercially valuable decisions. You will design and execute experiments that generate the chemical data your clients and organisation need to make confident product and process decisions, analyse results with the precision and structured thinking that distinguishes a data-driven specialist from a routine lab technician, develop new chemical processes and products that create genuine competitive value, provide clear and credible technical support to clients in both Arabic and English — building the trust that turns a one-time consultation into a long-term professional relationship, and contribute meaningfully to a growing chemistry operation in one of the UAE’s most strategically positioned industrial locations.
Key Responsibilities
Experimental Design & Chemical Analysis
- Design and conduct chemical experiments in a structured, methodical manner — ensuring experiments are fit for purpose, reproducible, and generate data of sufficient quality to support confident conclusions
- Perform chemical analysis across relevant test methods — applying sound analytical chemistry principles and laboratory best practices to produce accurate, reliable, and defensible results
- Operate and maintain laboratory instruments and analytical equipment — ensuring all tools are calibrated, functioning correctly, and operated according to standard procedures
- Maintain complete, accurate, and well-organised laboratory records — documenting experimental methods, observations, raw data, and results in a format that supports both internal review and external client reporting
Data Analysis & Results Interpretation
- Analyse experimental and laboratory results using a data-driven, structured approach — applying statistical analysis, trend identification, and scientific reasoning to interpret findings accurately
- Translate complex chemical data into clear, actionable insights — presenting findings to colleagues and clients in a manner that is scientifically credible and practically useful
- Identify anomalies, unexpected results, or data quality concerns — investigating root causes methodically and proposing corrective experimental or analytical measures
- Use data analysis to support continuous improvement of laboratory methods and processes — ensuring analytical procedures evolve alongside best practice and client requirements
New Process & Product Development
- Develop new chemical processes and products — applying creativity, chemical knowledge, and data-driven experimentation to generate improved formulations, procedures, or technical solutions
- Test and validate new processes rigorously — documenting development steps, experimental findings, and optimisation outcomes in a structured technical development record
- Collaborate with colleagues and management on process improvement initiatives — contributing technical expertise to projects that enhance product quality, efficiency, or cost-effectiveness
- Stay current with advances in relevant chemistry disciplines — incorporating new methodologies, materials, and techniques into development work where applicable and commercially beneficial
Technical Client Support & Communication
- Provide direct technical support and scientific consultation to clients — answering questions, explaining analytical results, and recommending appropriate chemical solutions with clarity and credibility
- Communicate technical information professionally in both Arabic and English — adapting the level of technical detail and language to suit each client’s background and information needs
- Prepare clear technical reports and documentation for clients — ensuring findings, recommendations, and supporting data are presented to a professional standard in both languages
