Since 2020, we have pioneered the world’s most versatile direct air capture (DAC) technology to recover historic CO₂ emissions from the atmosphere, anywhere, at any scale. Backed by Breakthrough Energy Ventures, the XPRIZE foundation, Stripe, and the UK Government, we’ve moved a brand new climate technology from lab scale to commercial plants in under three years, to empower carbon removal and sustainable utilisation.

We’re hiring for a Senior Interface Engineer who is skilled across disciplines in the Engineering, Procurement & Construction (EPC) industry. You are likely to have a process engineering background, but alternate starting points could be useful. You have repeated and deep experience in EPC settings working for contracting companies across multiple projects and industries with core experience in the process industries. In this role, you’ll act as the key technical representative facing our EPC suppliers to create scaled-up concept, FEED and eventually detailed design projects for megatonne-scale deployments of our rapidly scaling, proprietary direct air capture (DAC) technology.

Engineering Application: Leverage fundamental engineering knowledge to define suitable repeat unit boundaries and optimise plant and product performance as MZT rapidly scales in the direct-air capture space. Interdisciplinary Engineering: Work across multiple interfaces internally and externally to best understand requirements and likely optimisations between real plant operating data and scaled-up designs. Cost Estimation: working closely with the EPC cost estimators and our internal TEA (techno-economic analysis) engineer - develop robust cost estimates with clear uncertainty bounds based on procurement driven ranges. Supply Chain Interfacing: working with our supply chain team, understand and guide the technical options for key potential vendors and their ability to deliver a technically appropriate offer. Project Support: Assist the project team in the technical delivery and approach to scale-up from concept, FEED into detailed design. What You'll Need To Be Successful In This Role MEng Engineering Degree within Process or Chemical Engineering (or suitable discipline). 10 years minimum industrial experience delivering projects with significant process design content across multiple industries. Chartered status with a relevant engineering institution e.g. IChemE. Deep experience in the EPC sector working within and/or as client representative to contracting firms delivering major capital design and execution projects.
