Job summary

Origen Carbon is building zero-emission lime and moving toward commercial deployment. We seek a Process Development Lead to own the process questions that will define our future plants, working closely with our VP Technology and Design Engineering Manager.

This is an individual contributor role at start, with room to grow as we scale, focused on process improvement, scale-up feasibility, and collaboration with OEMs and suppliers. Bristol-based with flexible hours.

Qualifications

• Genuine process engineering experience in an industrial, capital-intensive setting, not lab-scale only.
• Comfortable working on longer-term questions without a fixed deadline, alongside people whose work does have one.
• Has worked directly with OEMs, suppliers or external technical partners.
• Comfortable working through heat and mass balances and process flow diagrams yourself.

Responsibilities

• Own a prioritised portfolio of process improvement initiatives, agreed with our VP Technology and Design Engineering Manager.
• Assess process concepts coming out of R&D for industrial scale-up potential: technical feasibility, cost impact, operational robustness.
• Translate scientific findings into engineering-ready process requirements, and feed design constraints back into R&D.
• Lead feasibility and trade-off analysis for major process changes, such as how we fire or power our plants.
• Build relationships with OEMs, suppliers and external technical partners.
• Work in close parallel with Design Engineering as the process voice in relevant reviews.
• Report progress and risks to our VP Technology, and contribute technical input for investor and strategic discussions.
