A Place Where People Matter.
Start your career journey with Univar Solutions! Here you can make an impact on the world around you and accelerate your career in areas that energize and excite you.
The Formulation & Technical Data Specialist is responsible for gathering, loading, validating, and maintaining formulation data and technical documentation that powers Univar Solutions’ Formulation Intelligence capabilities. This role goes beyond individual product data to encompass the full depth of formulation science, capturing not only which chemical products are combined in a given formulation, but how those components should be combined, processed, and applied to achieve a specific technical outcome.
Working with both supplier-provided and internally developed formulations, this specialist ensures that formulation records are complete, technically accurate, and current. They validate formulation data after it has been processed and embedded in schema for use by the Formulation Intelligence module within our Product Intelligence tool and proactively maintain documentation freshness to reflect the latest formulation guidance. This role also supports formulation data governance and assists with the collection of internal formulation content.
The ideal candidate brings deep, hands-on knowledge of chemistry and formulation science, with a genuine understanding of how chemical components interact, how processing conditions influence outcomes, and how formulations serve specific technical applications across industries. They are analytically rigorous, detail-oriented, and equally comfortable working directly with supplier technical contacts and internal commercial and R&D stakeholders.
What you´ll do:
- Gather formulation data and technical documentation from suppliers, including formulation compositions, component ratios, processing parameters, and application guidance
- Collect and catalog internal (Univar) formulations, ensuring complete and accurate records of component products, combination methods, processing instructions, and intended technical applications
- Load formulation data and supporting documentation for use within the Formulation Intelligence module in accordance with established data standards and processes
- Validate formulation data after it is scrubbed and embedded in schema, confirming accuracy of chemical components, proportions, processing steps, and technical parameters for use by the Formulation Intelligence module
- Maintain formulation documentation to ensure ongoing
