About Us
Concrete4Change (C4C) is building one of the most commercially viable CO₂ mineralisation platforms globally.
We are already operating at pilot scale (~3 tonnes/year).
Next steps:
This is a 1000× scale-up, and we are executing it now with major industrial partners (Holcim, Goldbeck).
The Role
This is a delivery leadership role.
We are looking for a Process Engineering Manager who can take full ownership of engineering execution, subcontractors, budget, and delivery — and turn a working process into a fully engineered, operable, and commercially viable plant.
Your job is not to design in isolation.
Your job is to deliver a plant that works, on time, on budget, and meets performance targets.
What You Will Actually Do
• Own delivery of the demo plant (~300 t/year) and define the pathway to industrial scale (~300 kt/year)
• Lead and manage all engineering activities and subcontractors:
* EPC / integrators
* consultants
* internal engineering team
• Translate process risks into engineered solutions:
* identify failure modes
* ensure robustness at scale
• Own budget, cost control, and financial discipline:
* capex planning
* cost vs performance trade-offs
• Ensure the plant meets technoeconomic and commercial targets:
* throughput
* operability and uptime
• Lead FEED, detailed design, and engineering package development
* PFDs / P&IDs
* mass & energy balances
* equipment specifications
* system integration
* Mechanical skid design
• Drive supplier selection, contracting, and performance management
• Lead commissioning, debugging, and ramp-up — not just design
• Own factory acceptance testing (FAT) and ensure real performance matches design intent
• Work closely with chemistry and analytical teams to ensure the process is controllable and stable
• Deliver on timeline, budget, and performance— simultaneously
• Degree in Chemical Engineering
• 10–15+ years of experience delivering process plants and scale-up projects (TRL 5–9)
* engineering teams
* subcontractors
* commissioning and start-up
• Demonstrated ability to translate technical risk into practical engineering solutions
• Strong commercial awareness — understands cost, value, and trade-offs
• Experience delivering projects to budget and schedule under pressure
• High ownership mindset — no reliance on others to drive delivery
Strong Signals (We Will Prioritise)
• You have delivered a demo or first-of-a-kind plant
• You have managed EPCs / integrators / complex supplier networks
• Experience in CCS, chemicals, energy, or materials processing
• Experience with solids, precipitation, crystallisation, or multiphase systems
• You have taken responsibility for budget + delivery + performance (not just design)
• Ownership of scaling a breakthrough process from pilot → demo → industrial
• Equity in a company targeting global decarbonisation
• Direct engagement with major industrial partners and investors
• High-impact leadership role with full delivery responsibility
• Fast progression based on results
• No bureaucracy — only execution
Final Note (Read Carefully)
This role is about accountability.
If you want:
* to focus only on design
* to avoid budget responsibility
* to avoid managing subcontractors
* or to work without pressure on delivery
this is not the role.
If you want to:
* own engineering delivery end-to-end
* build a real industrial system
* and be accountable for cost, performance, and timeline
