The team you will manage is based at our European R&D Centre, located in the Netherlands. The team currently consists of 6 colleagues and the spoken language is English.
We are looking for a new colleague with the right drive, a chemical background and a high degree of enthusiasm. Someone who wants to learn and develop oneself and the R&D SIL team while actively contributing to the growth of BRB.
