Our client is a rapidly scaling clean energy company, backed by leading investors. They are developing breakthrough technology to decarbonize industrial supply chains, with applications in energy transition fuels. This is a unique opportunity to join an ambitious, venture-backed business at a pivotal stage.

The Role

We are seeking a Head of Projects to lead the delivery of major capital projects. This is a hands-on leadership role driving projects from conceptual design through construction, commissioning, and handover. The right candidate blends project management expertise with a general contracting / construction execution background — someone who knows how to steer a project through FEL/FEED/FID, while also understanding what it takes to get it built on the ground.

What You’ll Do

• Lead projects through the full stage-gate process (FEL-1 to FID).
• Own the Project Execution Plan including contracting strategy, risk mitigation, and stakeholder engagement.
• Drive cost estimating, project controls, budgeting, and forecasting.
• Oversee engineering, procurement, and construction execution.
• Manage EPC and general contractor partners to deliver projects safely, on time, and within budget.
• Oversee permitting, site selection, and regulatory compliance.
• Lead construction, commissioning, and startup, ensuring seamless transition to operations.
• Build scalable project management processes for future growth.

What You Bring

• 5–15+ years’ experience in industrial capital project execution ($50M–$400M).
• Strong background in general contracting / construction management, ideally with hands-on site experience.
• Proven track record in refinery, petrochemical, LNG, hydrogen, or other process/industrial facilities.
• Expertise in cost estimating, budgeting, and project controls.
• Experience managing EPC/EPCM contracts.
• Strong knowledge of FEL/FEED/FID stage-gated processes.
• Leadership skills with the ability to manage teams, contractors, and stakeholders.
• A “roll-up-your-sleeves” mindset, comfortable working in a fast-paced, scaling environment.

Why This Role?

This isn’t a typical corporate projects role. It’s an opportunity to:

• Shape the build-out of pioneering technology that will change how energy and materials are produced.
• Work at the intersection of cutting-edge science and heavy industrial execution.
• Be part of a scaling venture where your decisions directly impact growth.
• Lead career-defining projects — complex, capital-intensive builds with global significance.
• Join a team that values speed, pragmatism, and collaboration over red tape.

What’s on Offer

• Competitive salary + meaningful equity
• The chance to build something that matters — projects that move the needle on climate change
