  • B.S. in Chemical/Biological Engineering or a related field.
  • Proven experience in capital project development, construction management, and commissioning.
  • At least 3 years of industrial experience, preferably in a fermentation environment.
  • Working knowledge of various manufacturing processes, including fermentation and downstream processing unit operations.
  • Demonstrated leadership skills and a proven safety track record.
Benefits

We offer a competitive salary ($85,000 - $110,000 annually), performance-linked enhancements, 401(k) matching, healthcare, and medical insurance. We value diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging, striving to provide an inclusive environment where every employee feels valued and empowered.
