If you are passionate about scaling innovative recycling technologies and thrive in fast-paced, hands-on environments, we want to hear from you.

Key Responsibilities

• Drive detailed technical analysis and rigorous problem-solving to ensure robust design, process decisions, and transferability of knowledge from pilot production.
• Oversee process integration and planning for optimized operations. Identify technical challenges to guide inter- and intra-team experiments and validation works.
• Improve engineering communication, maintain technical documentation, reports, and process workflows, and ensure clarity and cross-team alignment.
• Identify and implement best practices in engineering execution and problem-solving.
• Foster a culture of accountability, innovation, and continuous improvement in technical execution.
• Collaborate with technical and business teams to align technical developments with long-term goals and strategies.

What we are looking for

• 4+ years of process engineering, chemical engineering, or materials science, with strong expertise in chemical or materials processing
• Proven experience in coordinating or managing engineering projects, technology scale-up, process design, or engineering construction
• Ability to logically troubleshoot and solve complex engineering challenges and translate technical data into actionable insights
• Excellent attention to detail and ability to structure complex problem-solving processes
• Strong communication skills and ability to work across multidisciplinary teams
• Experience in chemical recycling, polymer processing, or waste management is a plus
• Eligibility to work legally in Canada.

We offer a dynamic environment with opportunities for professional growth, technical challenges, and leadership experience. Our team values communication, teamwork, and rigorous problem-solving to tackle industry challenges. We offer a competitive salary, benefits package, and opportunities for career advancement.
