Chemical technical assistant (CTA) / Laboratory technician (full or part-time)

Berlin
Full or part-time
Permanent employee

Your mission


The short version


You want to actively shape sustainable chemistry?
Safe and clean lab work is second nature to you – and you enjoy hands‑on work?
Join us to develop real projects with a clear path to pilot scale.


About us


C1 Green Chemicals AG develops and scales new chemical processes from the lab to pilot scale. Our teams span catalysis labs, synthesis labs, engineering and a pilot facility. Your lab work directly feeds into upscaling and pilot trials. We move fast, learn continuously and care deeply about safety and quality.


What you’ll do

  • Perform synthesis reactions under ambient and high‑pressure conditions.
  • Work with inert chemistry using Schlenk techniques and gloveboxes.
  • Apply analytical methods such as NMR, GC/FID/GC‑MS, IR and Karl Fischer.
  • Develop and optimize lab‑scale syntheses with scalability and pilot scale in mind.
  • Document experiments carefully and transfer data to ELN/LIMS systems.
  • Maintain and service laboratory equipment.
  • Learn to build and maintain high‑pressure and fluid systems.
  • Keep your workspace clean, organized and safe.
  • Collaborate closely with catalysis, engineering and technical teams.

  • We work in modern laboratories in the Adlershof Technology Park, which is well-connected to public transportation.
  •  We work Monday through Friday, and 28 vacation days per year are standard for us.
  •  Pragmatic support for last-minute personal commitments (just let us know).
  •  We welcome applications from all genders and nationalities. The position is available on a part-time or full-time basis.

About us

Re-inventing chemistry
We develop disruptive chemical production processes by rethinking them from the atomic level all the way up to production scale.
We explore new chemistries by employing quantum-chemical simulations and transfer them into proprietary production technology.

Designing green processes
​We develop & scale our new technologies based on renewable feedstocks & energy. From the very first steps in the development of a production process, we design it to enable closed carbon loops. Without ​compromise.

Defossilizing industries
​With our climate-friendly chemical technologies we support industries in their net zero journey. Our first disruption is the proprietary C1 methanol technology. It unlocks green methanol production by overcoming long-standing challenges.
