Drive meaningful change in chemical safety and sustainability

Are you an experienced chemistry professional ready to apply your expertise to improve environmental, social and human health outcomes? At GECA, we’re looking for a dedicated Standards & Technical Officer to join our passionate team working at the intersection of science, standards, and sustainability.

This is an opportunity to make a real impact in a role that supports work-life balance and flexible working arrangements. Whether you're seeking full-time or part-time hours, you'll benefit from a remote-first workplace with the ability to manage your time effectively, without the daily commute. We understand that meaningful work is best sustained when it complements the rest of your life.

We’re looking for someone who’s ready to become a valued and consistent part of our team—someone who sees the long-term potential in applying their expertise to influence change and innovation in industry and shape sustainable practices.

What’s in it for you?

• Purpose-driven work: Influence how products affect the environment and human health, and help build a safer, more sustainable future.
• True flexibility: Enjoy the autonomy of working from home, with part-time or full-time options and minimal in-person requirements.
• Work-life balance: Generous leave benefits, including paid parental leave, additional volunteer days, and time off between Christmas and New Year.
• Supportive culture: Join a mission-driven team that values collaboration, integrity, and professional growth.

What we’re looking for

• An experienced professional with a postgraduate degree in chemistry or a related field.
• Experience in chemical risk assessments, hazardous substance management, or sustainability standards.
• Excellent communication and writing skills for both technical and non-technical audiences.
• A proactive, detail-oriented professional who thrives in both independent and team settings.

This is a role for someone who’s ready to commit to the team, then grow with us and help shape the next chapter of sustainability leadership.
