Specialty chemical and performance materials manufacturer with fine-particle engineering focus
Cabot manufactures specialty chemicals and performance materials at scale across 12+ countries, with active hiring across engineering, manufacturing, and operations roles. The tech stack mirrors a traditional chemical manufacturer — SAP, Salesforce, Workday, and process-control systems (DCS, CMMS, SPC) — paired with compliance-heavy initiatives around responsible-care management, process-safety systems, and greenhouse-gas reporting. Current project load emphasizes operational resilience (reducing downtime, equipment reliability) and regulatory positioning (Title V compliance, management-of-change frameworks).
Notable leadership hires: Customer Care Team Lead, Commercial Director, Associate Director, Process Excellence Director
