  • Demonstrable experience supporting pilot, demonstration or first-of-a-kind technologies through scale-up towards commercial operation.
  • Strong understanding of core process engineering deliverables, including PFDs, P&IDs, process calculations, equipment specifications and commissioning documentation.
  • Experience reviewing and approving technical engineering work produced by others.
  • Previous commissioning or plant start-up experience.
  • Proven people leadership experience, including mentoring, coaching, performance reviews and managing engineering deliverables.
  • Ability to lead multidisciplinary engineering teams and work effectively across technical functions.
