Our mission is to revolutionize the perception of used plastics, demonstrating their potential for renewal and sustainability.

The Process Engineer will play a vital role in delivering engineering solutions for the innovation and implementation of our proprietary thermal liquefaction technology. This position offers the chance to take on leadership responsibilities as we aim to become the leading provider of ISCC Plus certified pyrolysis products. The successful candidate will be tasked with creating engineering deliverables and offering technical expertise to both the project development team for new facilities and the commercial team for technology licensing opportunities throughout the project lifecycle. This role is full-time and exempt.

  • Contribute innovative ideas for future technological enhancements aimed at minimizing capital and operational expenditures for new facilities.
  • Collaborate with internal and external stakeholders throughout all phases of the project lifecycle, from feasibility studies to startup and commissioning.
  • Deliver on-site construction, startup, and commissioning technical and operational support.
  • Enhance the workflow associated with the deployment of our technology.
