Scale the Future of Clean Energy & Carbon Conversion

Location: Franklin, TN (On-Site)
Type: Full-Time
Seniority: Director / Operations Leadership

Join Enexor BioEnergy

Enexor is a venture-backed, early-stage climate tech company just outside of Nashville, TN, developing distributed systems that turn organic and plastic waste into clean energy and high-purity CO₂. We are reimagining how the world addresses emissions, waste, and energy access—one modular system at a time.

We're not just solving problems. We're redefining what's possible at the intersection of engineering, energy, and sustainability.

Why This Role Matters

We're seeking a Director of Manufacturing to lead the production, fabrication, and field-readiness of our distributed energy and carbon capture systems. You'll be the tip of the spear, turning designs into deployable, ruggedized hardware—on time, on budget, and to spec.

This is a key operational leadership role, reporting directly to the CEO. You'll own manufacturing execution, team development, supply chain, and field readiness. You'll help build the infrastructure and processes needed to transition from prototype to scalable production without losing speed, flexibility, or quality.

What You'll Do
  • Own manufacturing strategy, planning, and execution for all product lines.
  • Lead a team of fabricators, technicians, and assemblers across mechanical, electrical, and integration domains.
  • Translate engineering designs into efficient, repeatable build processes using lean principles.
  • Oversee fabrication, assembly, quality control, and testing—from submodules to full-system builds.
  • Manage build schedules, materials planning, and in-house vs. outsourced production decisions.
  • Implement and improve documentation, SOPs, and safety protocols.
  • Drive cost reduction and throughput gains through smart tooling, layout, and process optimization.
  • Partner with engineering, field deployment, and executive teams to ensure alignment from design through delivery.
  • Oversee and manage external manufacturing partnerships to ensure alignment with quality standards, production timelines, and overall business objectives.

Requirements

What We're Looking For
  • B.S. in Engineering, Manufacturing, or related field (or equivalent hands-on expertise).
  • 10+ years in manufacturing leadership, ideally in hardware startups, energy systems, or industrial products.
  • Strong background in mechanical assembly, low-voltage electrical, and pressure system integration.
  • Proven success scaling from prototype to low-rate/high-quality production.
  • Deep experience managing work orders, BOMs, inventory, QA, and safety.
  • Excellent team leadership, mentorship, and shop floor presence.
  • Strong familiarity with tools like ERP/MRP, SolidWorks, Inventor, and fabrication workflows.

Bonus Points For:

  • Experience building containerized or modular energy systems.
  • Familiarity with field deployment, commissioning, and ruggedized builds.
  • Background working with vendors, contract manufacturers, or outsourced component suppliers.
  • Six Sigma, Lean, or related continuous improvement credentials.

Benefits

Why You'll Love It Here
  • Mission with urgency: You'll help bring breakthrough clean energy systems to life—fast.
  • No red tape: Flat org, fast iteration, direct ownership.
  • Equity upside: This is a senior role in a venture-backed company with rapid scaling ahead.
  • Tangible impact: See your work move from CAD to crate to customer, at real scale.
Compensation & Benefits
  • Competitive salary + equity stake in a fast-growing climate tech company.
  • 401(k) plan and health insurance stipend (QSEHRA).
  • Paid vacation and holidays.
