  Qualifications

  Tou succeed in this role, you have:

  • A master's or bachelor's degree in Engineering or Scientific area e.g. Chemistry, Pharmacy or similar.

  • 2 years of relevant experience after graduating. But as we are hiring for multiple positions, we can adjust the role according to experience.
