7+ years of experience and strong network in biogas.
Demonstrated success with biological process control, sensor integration, and plant optimisation.
Knowledge of anaerobic digestion microbiology and process chemistry.
Comfort with early-stage startup risks and high uncertainty, must be committed to helping secure future funding.
