    Description

    Position: Fuels Pilot / Demonstration Plant at Oxford

    Salary: £50,000 to £75,000 + Benefits

    Our company, a climate-tech spin-out from the University of Oxford, is determined to develop innovative catalysts and reactor designs to transform carbon dioxide and hydrogen into hydrocarbons. This effort is to cater to the increasing demand for fuels to comply with SAF regulations and for the petrochemicals sector, including surfactants, synthetic lubricants, and plastics.

    The recent substantial funding round has attracted significant investments from prominent US and UK venture funds, oil giants, traders, airlines, and others. With this financial support, the company is gearing up to expand its facilities, grow its UK-based team, and upscale its technology with demonstration plants in Oxford.

    About the Company's Culture:

    Our organization is fervent about combatting climate change through the development of technologies that can substantially reduce CO2 emissions from the atmosphere by 2050. We thrive on hard work, innovation, and aiming high, all while maintaining humility. Teamwork, kindness, and respect for each other's abilities are at the core of our values. We are dedicated to fostering diversity & inclusion, appreciating diverse backgrounds, and different perspectives.

    Job Description:

    We are seeking a Senior Process Engineer with operational experience who is prepared to step into the role of Site Team Leader for the commissioning and operation of pilot units. In this position, you will lead a team in overseeing the installation, commissioning, startup, and ongoing operation of a series of scaled-up pilot units. Collaboration with a group of skilled engineers to identify enhancement opportunities will be key to success.

    You will have the chance to partake in the design, upscaling, and operation of cutting-edge catalytic processes aimed at converting CO2 into long-chain hydrocarbons like aviation fuel. Your responsibilities will span from laboratory-based to industry-based endeavors, providing you with hands-on experience and a holistic grasp of the novel product operation and workflow.

    Key Responsibilities and Accountabilities:

    • Lead a team of Engineers through the installation, commissioning, and operation of demo plants.
    • Establish procedures for commissioning and operation.
    • Conduct research studies and trials.
    • Troubleshoot various procedures.
    • Drive continuous improvement and innovation in the Engineering team to enhance quality, productivity, and efficiency.
    • Ensure the utilization of engineering delivery business procedures and best practices.
    • Promote a positive safety culture across engineering and capital projects.
    • Consistently exhibit company values.

    Qualifications and Experience:

    To excel in this role, you ideally possess:

    • A degree in Chemical Engineering or a related field.
    • Experience in a research facility, preferably leading your research.
    • Work experience in an operational and design environment.
    • Experience in commissioning and startup activities.
    • Preferably a Chartered member of IChemE.
    • Self-motivation and readiness to engage in commercial ventures.
    • Familiarity with health and safety protocols in the lab or plant.
    • An understanding of synthetic fuels, syngas, or chemical/petrochemical processes is advantageous.
    • A commitment to addressing the climate challenges of our time.
    • Ability to give and receive feedback, work cohesively in a diverse, fast-paced, innovative team, and navigate uncertainties.
    • Proficiency in listening and learning from colleagues.
    • Availability to work in the office at least four times a week and travel as needed.
