We are seeking a highly experienced consultant or subject matter expert (SME) to support the development of a new line of Navy-formulated marine coatings.

  • Assist in identifying target customers and applications within the naval and defense markets.
  • Support qualification testing, conformance testing, and regulatory documentation.
  • Help define the scale-up process, raw material sourcing, and best practices for efficient production.
  • Act as a liaison between our internal team and external partners to ensure technical and operational alignment.
  • Contribute to market strategy and product positioning in the U.S. and European defense coatings market.
Qualifications

  • Strong understanding of the naval coatings supply chain, qualification process, and customer expectations.
  • Demonstrated experience launching or advising on new coating lines or products.
  • Ability to work independently and provide structured, actionable recommendations.
  • Background in chemistry, chemical engineering, coatings technology, or a related field.
