prioritize the work based on upper management direction and raw material availability. Work on new shades and customize formulation upon client briefs or internal projects, making sure the texture is kept within the specification and match the texture standard.
Work directly with clients on site or remotely if needed. Upon shade approval, ensure the shades are communicated to the scale up team Work with production and assist when needed, and ensure all new formulation are being transferred and reproducible in production. Participate actively to the organization of laboratory Keep track of all raw materials and organize them in the most efficient way. Anticipate raw materials availability
for every project and communicate with project managers and upper management if delays are happening. Maintain and organize the color library Communicate and collaborate with the chemists and labs on the other Intercos labs (Italy, LA, Brazil, Korea, China).
