Job Description:

Principal Interface Engineer | Capital Projects | Cleantech | London Hybrid

My client is a rapidly scaling climate tech company developing pioneering direct air capture technology. They’re hiring a Principal Interface Engineer to help bring this novel process to life at commercial scale.

This is a senior leadership role for someone who thrives in early-stage project environments. You’ll sit between internal teams and EPC partners, translating complex R&D into robust engineering delivery. The focus is on projects valued at over $1 billion, where process design, technical leadership, and clear communication are key.

What you'll need:

• 10+ years in process or chemical engineering, ideally within capital project environments
• Experience managing full lifecycle delivery from blank sheet to FEED and beyond
• Strong EPC exposure, either client-side or as a senior engineering lead
• Confidence leading interdisciplinary teams across mechanical, electrical, and process
• Knowledge of systems like gas scrubbing, absorption, or electrodialysis is a plus
• A background in cleantech, industrial decarbonisation, or chemicals is preferred
• A track record of technical ownership across large-scale infrastructure projects

This role offers autonomy, variety, and a chance to build something meaningful from the ground up. If you’re technically sharp, commercially aware, and enjoy working at the cutting edge of sustainable engineering, let’s talk.
