Pilot Operations Manager

At Dioxycle we develop electrolyser solutions for carbon dioxide emissions. Using state-of-the-art technology, we research and provide technology that captures and converts carbon dioxide and ultimately generates valuable chemical products. 

Dioxycle is pioneering breakthrough carbon utilization technologies that convert industrial emissions into sustainable chemicals with unprecedented energy and cost efficiency. By displacing fossil fuels for the production of key chemicals, Dioxycle has the potential to ultimately reduce over 800 million tons of CO2 per year, representing over 2% of the world's emissions. 

 

At the core of our process is a novel "carbon electrolyzer", a machine capable of using just electricity and water to convert carbon emissions back into valuable everyday essential chemicals. Our team is innovating across chemical, mechanical and system engineering to turn carbon transformation into an economically feasible, industrial reality through this completely novel technological approach. Having completed our medium-scale Proof-of-Concept electrolyzer, we are now working towards a first-of-its-kind large-scale industrial prototype and are assembling key partnerships for future commercial roll-out.

We are supported by world-class funders including Lowercarbon Capital, Breakthrough Energy Ventures and Gigascale Capital and have raised $37M to date. We operate from two centers in Paris and California (so whether you are passionate about outdoors or good food/art scenes, we have a location for you to join!)

Dioxycle is seeking an experienced Pilot Operations Manager to join our team at this pivotal phase of transition from R&D to industrial piloting. You will be responsible for the smooth operations of all of Dioxycle's current and future pilots, both onsite in Paris and any future commercial pilots/demo sites. To do this, you will recruit and manage a team of technicians/operators, as well as being responsible for finding the best external resources when necessary (freelance/interim/external partners/etc).

- Ensure that all pilot spaces are well-stocked, equipped and maintained;

- Ensure each pilot runs smoothly according to the experimental plan defined by the engineering team;

- Work closely with the engineering team for analysis of pilot runs;

- Work closely with Health & Safety Manager to ensure full safety on all sites and compliance with all relevant health & safety regulation;

- Ensure that there are always necessary resources and team (internal and external) so that pilot runs & operations are never bottlenecked and ensure budget compliance;

- Conduct risk assessments and contribute to writing SOPs;

- Manage external vendors and contractors and ensure budget compliance;

We seek a Pilot Operations Manager who is dedicated to advancing our mission and possesses the skills outlined below. Candidates with a minimum of ten years of relevant experience are encouraged to apply.
