Lab Intern

About RennoWaste

We are turning agricultural waste into the materials that industry runs on — cleanly, completely, and at scale. RennoWaste builds zero-waste biorefineries that extract every unit of value from crop residues, converting what was once burned in fields into high-performance industrial materials. We are a small, driven team moving fast from prototype to production — and every person who joins shapes what we build next.

About the role

This is a hands-on production lab position. You will work directly alongside our senior chemists, executing formulations, running daily reactions, and maintaining the analytical discipline our process depends on. This is not a theoretical research role, you will own your batches from day one.

What you will do

Formulation and batch work

• Follow formulation sheets precisely: weighing, mixing, and sequencing ingredients as specified
• Prepare batches at bench and kilo-lab scale per given SOPs
• Record batch entries accurately: quantities, observations, deviations, and yield outcomes
• Reproduce formulations consistently across multiple trial runs

Daily lab reactions

• Conduct routine titrations, pH checks, viscosity measurements, and moisture analysis
• Assist in condensation and crosslinking reactions under controlled conditions
• Support solvent extraction, filtration, and lignin fractionation operations
• Maintain daily reaction logs and flag abnormal observations to the supervising chemist

What we are looking for

• Diploma, B.Sc, or M.Sc in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Biotechnology, Polymer Science, or a related field
• Basic understanding of lab reactions and analytical testing
• Comfortable with standard lab equipment and safety procedures
• Accurate record-keeping and SOP discipline
• Prior experience in resin, coating, biomass, or chemical processing labs is a plus — not a requirement

What you get

• Hands-on experience with bio-based resin chemistry ahead of most academic curricula
• Direct mentorship from senior chemists with no intermediary layers
• Visible contribution in a small, focused team working at production scale
• Work you can speak to with confidence in any future interview or application
