They are now building out a flagship facility and are seeking a Plant Operations Manager to help bring this next-generation operation to life.
What You'll Do
Lead all operations of a commercial production facility, including production, maintenance, reliability, and safety
Build plant processes, policies, and procedures from the ground up
Manage plant performance, production targets, and budget to ensure safety, efficiency, and financial success

Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, leadership, and external partners
Stay ahead of industry trends, regulations, and emerging technologies
Why This Role Stands Out
Lead operations at a first-of-its-kind production facility
Opportunity to build and scale plant operations from the ground up
Work on cutting-edge technology transforming CO₂ into sustainable fuel
High-impact leadership role with visibility across the organization
Requirements
What We're Looking For
10+ years of experience leading operations in a chemical, refining, or industrial plant environment
Strong background in hydrocarbon, naphtha, fuel, or similar production processes
Experience managing plant budgets, KPIs, and operational performance
Experience building plant processes and systems from scratch in a startup or scaling environment
Strong leadership skills with experience managing and developing plant teams
Deep understanding of safety regulations, compliance, and industry standards
Ability to respond effectively in high-pressure or emergency situations in a plant environment
Bachelor's degree in a STEM field; Chemical Engineering or a related field preferred
