Available Opportunities

We currently have a number of Summer Intern Placement opportunities available within Protective Coatings and Marine RD&I to start in July 2017.

These positions will be based in either the Protective Coatings Development laboratory or Marine Laboratory in Felling, Gateshead. The roles will involve assisting with laboratory activities to aid the development projects and support activities in the labs.

The positions are predominantly laboratory based and candidates must be highly enthusiastic about practical laboratory work and research. A portion of time will also be spent writing up results and managing data in order to determine next steps. You will work under the guidance of a lab chemist, and will be trained in all aspects of working safely in the laboratory using established test methods.

Requirements

To be considered for this summer internship, your current degree subject area should be Chemistry or a related discipline. You should have also obtained at least 300 UCAS points. Previous experience in working in a laboratory environment is recommended also.

So if you think you’ve got what it takes and want to develop your talents, we can’t wait to see you here at AkzoNobel – and help you take your ideas to the world.

The first stage of the process is a telephone interview, followed by an assessment centre which is likely to be held on 5th June in Felling, Gateshead.
