CWA International are looking to recruit postgraduate and graduate scientists with a good degree and who are energetic and motivated to apply their knowledge to the international trade of agricultural commodities, typically arising from the maritime sector. A background in, or exposure to, agronomy, plant biology, plant protection, or pre- and postharvest Food Science, and/or a thorough understanding of the principles governing the bulk storage and transport of perishable cargoes (e.g. applied physics) would present an advantage.
We undertake investigations world-wide into the loss of, and damage to, consignments of food and address matters of causation, mitigation and prevention of loss.

The positions are full time and will benefit from initial training and mentoring. We are based in central London but flexibility to travel internationally at short notice is required (up to 10 weeks/yr). Competitive salary to match experience with the benefit of an established productivity bonus scheme. Further information on the firm and its activities can be found on our website.
Applicants invited for interview will need to undertake aptitude tests approximately one week before interview and undertaken an assignment on our premises just prior to the interview.
