Help us build the future of passive cooling
We are a Bristol based team commercialising a passive cooling material for global application.
We’re a small team of chemists and engineers based in Bristol. Albotherm started as PhD research at the University of Bristol and became a company in 2020. Since then we’ve taken our heat-activated materials from the lab into commercial greenhouse trials, and buildings are our next focus. It’s early-stage work, which means everyone here does a bit of everything and stays close to the science. If that sounds like your kind of place, we’d like to hear from you.
Open roles
Research Assistant/Validation Scientist/Process Operator
We are looking for a driven and experienced Research Assistant (or similar) with a passion for formulation chemistry & quality control. The Research Assistant will play a key role in Albotherm’s product optimisation and product development activities, through formulation testing, experiment design and QC. Responsibilities include carrying out routine and investigative quality control testing, maintaining accurate laboratory records, supporting scale-up and manufacturing processes, troubleshooting formulation and production issues, and contributing to continuous improvement initiatives. The role will also involve supporting the validation and commercialisation of new products, playing a key part in taking innovations from the R&D stage through product validation and into manufacture.
As a growing and agile business, this role offers significant variety and the opportunity to contribute across multiple areas of the company. Whilst formulation and quality control will be the primary focus, there will be times when an "all hands on deck" approach is needed to support wider business activities. We pride ourselves on being a supportive and collaborative team, where everyone works together to solve challenges, share ideas, and help each other succeed.
The ideal candidate will combine strong practical laboratory skills with a methodical approach to problem-solving, a keen attention to detail, and the ability to work effectively in a multidisciplinary environment. This role offers the opportunity to contribute directly to product innovation while ensuring the highest standards of quality and manufacturing excellence are maintained.
Salary: £28,000 - £35,000 per year
