Job Description

Plant Operator, Clean Energy Manufacturing

Boulder → Broomfield, Colorado | Start-Up in a Built‑From‑Scratch Facility

Help Scale a Breakthrough in Low‑Carbon Manufacturing

We are seeking an experienced Plant Operator to play a foundational role in commercializing a first‑of‑its‑kind electrochemical manufacturing process that significantly reduces carbon emissions in a major global industry.

This is a hands‑on, plant‑floor role for someone who enjoys owning real equipment, solving real operational challenges, and building something new—not maintaining legacy systems. You’ll start with immersive training at our Boulder site and then transition to a newly constructed manufacturing facility in Broomfield, where you’ll help commission, operate, and continuously improve a pioneering processing system.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Work on a novel electrochemical process—not traditional, decades‑old technology
• Be part of the launch team for a brand‑new manufacturing facility
• Join a well‑funded clean technology startup with strong growth momentum
• See the direct impact of your work every day in a small, highly collaborative team
• Build long‑term career growth as operations scale from pilot to full commercial production

What You’ll Do

• Operate, monitor, and optimize a chemical fluid processing system to safely produce materials
• Control process parameters across industrial equipment including pumps, compressors, meters, motors, piping, valves, and conveyors
• Perform routine inspections and identify emerging issues before they affect production
• Troubleshoot live production equipment handling chemicals, fluids, and metals
• Safely manage chemical handling in compliance with environmental and process safety standards
• Record production data, process readings, deviations, and corrective actions with accuracy and discipline
• Partner closely with maintenance to support preventive and corrective maintenance activities
• Collaborate with safety and quality teams to uphold strong operational standards
• Contribute to the development and refinement of standard operating procedures in a fast‑evolving environment
• Support equipment installation, commissioning, and continuous improvement efforts at the new facility
• Bring a proactive, hands‑on mindset to a growing manufacturing operation

What We’re Looking For

Required Experience

• 3–5 years of experience operating chemical or fluid processing systems
• Experience working with a SCADA system/interface
• Hands‑on familiarity with industrial process equipment in a production setting
• Strong troubleshooting and problem‑solving skills under live operating conditions
• Mechanical aptitude and comfort working around chemicals
• Experience supporting quality control or production documentation

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience helping develop SOPs or operational best practices in a new or expanding facility
• Background with systems involving chemicals, fluids, and metals
• Clear communicator and collaborative team contributor
• Genuine interest in clean technology, sustainability, or climate‑focused innovation

Work Environment & Schedule

• Initial Training: Boulder, CO (approximately 2–3 months)
• Permanent Location: Broomfield / Westminster area (West 112th Avenue)
• Schedule: Day shift, typically 6:30 a.m.–3:00 p.m. or 7:00 a.m.–3:30 p.m.
  • Will likely rotate between days and night shifts every 4 weeks
• Overtime may be available as needed (not guaranteed)
• Climate‑controlled manufacturing environment
• PPE required: lab coat, hard hat, safety glasses, and steel‑toe footwear

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive compensation
• Paid time off and paid holidays
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
• 401(k) and disability benefits
• Long‑term growth opportunities as the company scales
