Process Chemist (m/f/d)

Fire Point Rocket Technology (FPRT) is a defense technology company operating at the intersection of advanced chemistry and modern rocket propulsion. We design and manufacture solid rocket fuel and propulsion components that power next-generation defense systems, with uncompromising focus on safety, quality, and compliance.

FPRT is part of the international Fire Point Group and is the first Ukrainian defense company to establish a production facility in the EU. Our new site in Vojens, Denmark, is being developed as a state-of-the-art solid propellant manufacturing facility, including modern laboratories, production lines, and attractive employee amenities (canteen, café, gym, wellness areas, and outdoor spaces).

We are currently scaling from early operations to 350+ employees within the next 18 months. Joining FPRT now means becoming part of the core team shaping a high-tech, safety-critical production environment from the ground up.

Our mission is clear: we develop technologies that help protect people, freedom, and critical infrastructure. You will join a multicultural, highly skilled team, guided by our shared values of Purpose, Courage, Mastery, and Trust.

As Process Chemist, you will act as the operational eye of the chemical process, ensuring chemical stability, safety, and product quality throughout solid propellant manufacturing.

You will report to the Chemical Manager and work closely with Process Engineering, Production, and Quality teams.

Your key responsibilities include:

Process monitoring & control
- Perform in-process chemical monitoring during mixing, vacuuming, and polymerization stages
- Verify critical parameters such as viscosity, temperature, vacuum level, reaction stability, and material homogeneity
- Support process adjustments in coordination with Senior Chemical Engineers and Process Engineers
- Ensure strict adherence to recipe-specific instructions, SOPs, and defined operational limits

Sampling & analytical testing
- Collect samples at defined control points throughout the production process
- Conduct laboratory analyses, including moisture analysis, viscosity and density measurements, reaction stability assessments, and visual inspections
- Ensure correct sample identification, labeling, and full batch traceability

Documentation & data integrity
- Record all measurements, test results, and observations in laboratory logs and LIMS/ERP systems
- Ensure full traceability of batches, deviations, and corrective actions
- Support preparation and review of batch records and process documentation

Deviation handling & escalation
- Immediately report deviations, abnormalities, or safety concerns
- Participate in preliminary root-cause analyses (RCA) and propose preventive measures

Collaboration & HSE
- Work closely with Process Engineers, Shift Managers, and Quality Control to ensure smooth production flow
- Support training of operators on chemical handling and process compliance
- Ensure full compliance with HSE, MSDS, and PPE requirements in lab and production environments

We are looking for a hands-on, detail-oriented chemist who thrives in a structured, safety-critical production environment and takes pride in precision, documentation, and chemical control.

Background & experience
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, or similar
- 2–5 years of experience from laboratory or process roles within chemical, polymer, propellant, or related manufacturing industries
- Hands-on experience with analytical equipment (e.g. moisture analyzers, viscometers, balances, temperature/vacuum sensors)
- Familiarity with chemical safety standards, SOPs, and documentation systems (LIMS and/or ERP)
- Professional proficiency in English (Danish or Ukrainian is an advantage)

Personal competencies
- High level of accuracy, responsibility, and safety awareness
- Structured and disciplined working style with strong attention to detail
- Able to work calmly and reliably in a production environment with defined procedures
- Proactive, observant, and confident in escalating deviations when needed
- Team-oriented and comfortable collaborating across functions in an international setting

At FPRT, you will join at a critical growth phase, where your daily work directly impacts product safety and reliability.

You can expect: 

• A unique opportunity to contribute to one of Denmark’s most strategically important defense-tech projects
• A role where precision and chemical control truly matter
• Competitive compensation package, including relocation support, pension, insurance, and modern IT equipment
• A state-of-the-art facility in Vojens with canteen, café, gym, wellness areas, and outdoor spaces
• A professional, multicultural, and purpose-driven working environment
• Long-term development opportunities as the organization continues to scale
