Description

About The Role You have the opportunity to join MZT at a pivotal point in our company's history - our transition from an early-stage R&D startup into a product offering, revenue-generating company poised to rapidly scale our DAC technology across the world. Our vision for our early stage employees is that they own the business with us (literally), grow it with us and become part of the collective story of Mission Zero, taking a catalytic role in its early history and the fight against climate change. We’re hiring for a Controls & Instrumentation Discipline Manager who is skilled in designing and delivering electrical & controls infrastructure for chemical and/or manufacturing facilities. In this role, you’ll take ownership for the EC&I discipline in Mission Zero; guiding, coaching and leading engineers with a range of skills and preferences. You will harmonise the approach to EC&I across engineers, set standards and expectations for delivering EC&I work, and contribute to deliverables and site work directly as a member of our growing Engineering team. As a key member of the Engineering team, you’ll be central to the development and deployment of our next generation technology. You will guide this development, bringing a particular focus on control, translating learnings from our three operating first generation sites, into new design from 1,000 teCO2/year up to 100,000 teCO2/year by 2030 and beyond. This will involve collaboration with various internal and external stakeholders. While the role is based at our headquarters in East-Central London, expect periodic assignments at emerging UK sites, European suppliers, and international locations as we expand. What You’ll Be Doing Design Development: Create, guide, and review safe electrical, control, & instrumentation designs, both internally and with external contractors across MZT projects from 1,000 te/year modularised deployments to 100,000 te/year scale-up projects and beyond. Specification & Review: with delegation where appropriate of all required electrical, control, instrumentation and relevant interdisciplinary design deliverables. This will include but not be limited to: reports, datasheets, calculations, engineering drawing, specifications, interlock matrices, cause & effect diagrams. Mentoring & Developing: of engineers who have an interest or background in EC&I, even if not direct reports. EC&I Expertise: Expert understanding of EC&I scopes of work including FDS, control panel specification, software programming interfaces, proven record interfacing, practising or leading EC&I engineering. Optimise: You will develop optimal concepts for cost-effective improvements through identification of key controlled variables and focus on key parameter output. Scale-Up: You will be leading and working with key members across the company to design, procure and evaluate new approaches to EC&I, scaling-up the design approach to be suitable for larger, more cost efficient and more power efficient installations. Vendor Interfacing: Collaborate with key external vendors on EC&I scopes, particularly PLC/HMI/SCADA/DCS vendors, as well as fabricators and site hosts. Project Support: Assist the project management team in the technical delivery of detailed plant designs and analyses for pilot and commercial systems, focusing on all EC&I interfaces. What You’ll Need To Be Successful In This Role Masters of Engineering Degree or equivalent in suitable discipline 10 years’ minimum industrial experience delivering projects with significant EC&I content across several applications.
