The long-term focus of the position will be to identify, develop, and implement opportunities that improve the performance, reliability, efficiency, safety, and economics of our biogas facilities. At the same time, the engineer will be responsible for delivering small modifications, improvement projects, and selected capital projects from concept through commissioning. This is an ideal position for an engineer who enjoys moving between the plant floor and engineering office, identifying practical problems, developing solutions, and making sure those solutions are successfully implemented. Key Responsibilities Continuous Improvement & Process Engineering Identify opportunities to improve plant process performance, energy efficiency, reliability, uptime, operating costs, and environmental performance. Analyze operational data, process performance, equipment behavior, and recurring plant issues to identify improvement opportunities. Develop and evaluate improvement concepts, including technical feasibility, expected benefits, risks, and estimated cost. Lead or support root-cause analysis of process and operational problems. Develop process calculations, mass and energy balances, equipment sizing, process descriptions, and technical specifications as required. Work closely with operations and maintenance teams to identify practical improvements and ensure solutions address the underlying operational need. Establish and track KPIs to demonstrate the impact of implemented improvements. Maintain an improvement pipeline and help prioritize opportunities based on value, risk, and ease of implementation. Project Development & Execution Lead the execution of small modifications and improvement projects, from initial scope definition through commissioning and closeout. Translate operational needs into clear project scopes, budgets, schedules, and execution plans. Coordinate engineering, procurement, contractors, vendors, operations, and maintenance resources. Develop or manage engineering deliverables including PFDs, P&IDs, equipment specifications, layouts, calculations, and technical documentation. Support equipment and vendor selection and manage technical interfaces with suppliers. Manage project cost, schedule, scope, quality, and safety. Participate in construction, installation, commissioning, startup, and performance verification. Ensure completed projects are properly documented and handed over to operations and maintenance. Biogas Plant & Technical Support Develop a strong understanding of the company's biogas processes, technologies, equipment, and operating philosophy. Provide technical support to operating facilities and development projects. Troubleshoot process and equipment issues and develop practical corrective actions. Support process safety reviews, management of change, HAZOP/HAZID activities, and other risk-management processes. Identify opportunities for standardization and replication of successful improvements across the company's biogas portfolio. Required Qualifications Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Environmental Engineering, or a related engineering discipline. Approximately 3-8 years of relevant engineering or project experience, preferably in biogas, anaerobic digestion, wastewater, renewable energy, chemical processing, industrial utilities, or a similar process industry. Experience taking projects from concept through implementation and commissioning. Strong process engineering fundamentals, including ability to perform engineering calculations and evaluate process alternatives. Experience working with PFDs, P&IDs, equipment specifications, and engineering documentation. Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot operational problems and develop practical engineering solutions. Experience managing contractors, vendors, and engineering consultants is preferred. Familiarity with process safety, MOC, risk assessment, and industrial safety practices is preferred. Experience with biogas, anaerobic digestion, gas treatment/upgrading, CHP, digestate handling, or related technologies is a strong advantage. What We Offer Compensation package commensurate with experience including relocation assistance (if applicable), and significant productivity pay and equity. Comprehensive benefits package including health, dental, vision, disability, and life insurance. Paid time off and paid company holidays Opportunity to build upon your career in a company on the cutting edge of the RNG industry.
