Asphalt Binder Research Specialist
for each section heading. Use - for lists. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information, remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove the line about "Please note: This is not a position that Ingevity will consider for employment sponsorship." That's maybe considered boilerplate? It's specific but maybe considered a note about sponsorship; not sure if we should keep. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The sponsorship note is not exactly those categories, but it's a legal note about sponsorship. Might be considered legal boilerplate. Safer to remove it. Also the EEO statement: "Ingevity is a company made up of extraordinary people..." that's EEO boilerplate; remove. Also "Recruiting Agencies: Ingevity does not accept unsolicited resumes..." that's also boilerplate; remove.
We need to keep the core description: Job Family Group Laboratory, intro paragraph about Ingevity, role description, responsibilities list, qualifications, skills and competencies, work environment.
We need to decide sections: About the role (intro), Responsibilities (list), Qualifications (education/experience), Skills And Competencies (list), Work Environment (maybe as a section). Could also combine Qualifications and Skills into Requirements? But we have headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can choose to use Qualifications and Skills sections. Requirements maybe not needed if we have Qualifications and Skills. But we could put education/experience under Qualifications, and skills under Skills. The posting has "Qualifications Education and Experience:" and "Skills And Competencies". So we will output those.
We must not create sections with filler. So we will output:
About the role
... intro paragraph ...
Responsibilities
- ... each responsibility ...
Qualifications
... education and experience ...
Skills
- ... each skill ...
Maybe also a Work Environment section? Not in the list of allowed headings but we could incorporate into Qualifications or Skills? The instruction says use those headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." That suggests we should stick to those headings. However we could add a Work Environment heading if we want, but it's not in the list; better to avoid. We can incorporate work environment details into Qualifications or Skills as a paragraph.
We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include work environment details somewhere. Could add a paragraph under Qualifications after education/experience, or under Skills. Probably better to add a separate paragraph after Qualifications: maybe under a heading "Work Environment" but that's not allowed. Could incorporate into Qualifications as a sentence.
Let's extract the substantive content:
Intro: "Job Family Group Laboratory Are you ready to do something remarkable? Ready to collaborate with an incredible team to solve problems that improve people’s lives? Meet Ingevity. At Ingevity, we develop innovations that purify, protect and enhance the world around us. Our products enable oil to flow better, crops to grow fuller, roads to last longer and ensure that the air we all breathe is cleaner. Our people come from all different backgrounds and help reimagine new possibilities daily. We understand there is no challenge too big and no contribution too small. We seek out new ideas for tackling complex problems and celebrate achieving the improbable. We value each person’s unique talents and synergize them to create meaningful impact and sustainable solutions for our customers and our world. Bold. Energetic. Ingenious. Genuine. If these qualities describe you, we’d love for you to join Ingevity!"
Then role description: "The Asphalt Binder Research Specialist is a key member of Ingevity’s Pavement Technologies team, supporting both research and development and technical services. This role is responsible for testing and characterizing asphalt binders and additives to support innovation, commercialization, customer applications, and quality control. The researcher will conduct physical and chemical testing using industry standards (AASHTO, ASTM), advanced instrumentation, and manual methods to generate meaningful data and ensure product performance. Additionally, the individual will play a critical role in the chemical characterization of new materials for the generation of Safety Data Sheets (SDS), contribute to field trial support, and help develop technical solutions for customers. The ideal candidate brings curiosity, precision, adaptability, and a strong sense of ownership to their work in a dynamic lab setting."
Then responsibilities list (bulleted but currently as a paragraph with periods). We need to split into list items.
Responsibilities:
- Perform asphalt binder testing according to AASHTO, ASTM, and project-specific specifications (e.g., DSR, BBR, RV, RTFOT, PAV).
- Accurately prepare and condition asphalt binder samples.
- Maintain and calibrate lab instruments and equipment.
- Record, analyze, and report test results in a clear and timely manner.
- Follow Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and participate in continuous improvement efforts.
- Support R&D, product development, or field trial initiatives by preparing and testing experimental binders or additives.
- Collaborate with team members and communicate results effectively.
- Comply with all company safety policies and procedures.
- Work cross-functionally with sales teams to address customer challenges
- Maintain accurate documentation and support continuous improvement of lab methods and safety procedures
- Use analytical techniques and wet chemistry methods to characterize new products for Safety Data Sheet (SDS) generation and regulatory documentation.
- Assist in troubleshooting equipment and testing anomalies.
- Maintain a clean, safe, and organized work environment.
Qualifications: "Education and Experience: Bachelor’s degree in chemistry, engineering technology, or a related discipline is required. Experience in asphalt labs is preferred but not a prerequisite."
Skills And Competencies list:
- Strong attention to detail and organizational skills, including accurate recordkeeping and sample tracking.
- Proficient in laboratory safety, good lab practices, and handling hot materials.
- Skilled in sample preparation, chemical additive handling, and equipment calibration and maintenance.
- Familiar with AASHTO and ASTM testing standards and procedures.
- Experienced in quality control and assurance within laboratory environments.
- Capable of interpreting test results and identifying inconsistencies.
- Effective time management and ability to prioritize multiple tasks.
- Strong communication and teamwork skills; able to work independently or collaboratively.
- Proficient in basic computer applications (e.g., Excel, Word, PowerPoint).
- Physically able to lift up to 50 lbs and stand for extended periods.
Work Environment: "Laboratory-based role with regular exposure to heated asphalt, chemical additives, and testing equipment. Use of PPE (lab coat, gloves, safety glasses) required. Occasional travel (up to 20%) for customer trials, off-site training or conferences may be requested."
We need to include that somewhere. Could add a paragraph after Skills maybe under a heading "Work Environment" but not allowed. Could add a paragraph under Skills as extra bullet? Better to add a paragraph after Skills without heading? But we need headings for sections; we could add a Work Environment
though not in list but maybe acceptable. The instruction says "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." The "e.g." suggests examples, not exhaustive. So we can add Work Environment heading. Safer to include it.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, sponsorship note, recruiting agencies.
