- Continuous improvement: Identify opportunities for value engineering early and facilitate the group of engineers/experts to find cost- or time- saving solutions.
- Documentation and Organization: maintain accurate project documentation including plans, schedules, progress reports, and meeting minutes to ensure transparency and accountability.
What You Will Bring

- Knowledgeable about water treatment processes, carbon capture technologies, or general civil and mechanical construction is essential for this role.
- Proficient in reviewing engineering drawings (process flow diagrams, process and instrumentation diagrams, single line drawings, mechanical/civil plans etc).
- Competent in reviewing contracts with an understanding of how to structure contracts to de-risk projects.
- Familiarity with procurement processes, preparing request for proposals, and evaluating bids.
- Familiarity with permitting associated with construction.
- Familiarity with carbon dioxide removal credits and proficiency in navigating carbon markets.
- Excellent leadership, communication, and interpersonal skills.
- Demonstrated experience or strong motivation to work at a startup characterized by its dynamic, fast-paced nature, where innovation, agility, and resourcefulness are key drivers for growth and success.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with proactive approach to identifying and addressing project challenges.
- Bachelor’s degree in relevant field (engineering, construction management, business administration, etc).
- Preference to candidates based in New Zealand or are familiar with industrial players, local permitting, and regulatory requirements of New Zealand.
- Willingness to travel, dependent on individual location, typically up to 25%.
