Plant Manager
About The Position
This is a high-impact leadership role for a technically minded professional. You will lead a dedicated team of operators to transform landfill biogas into pipeline-grade RNG, ensuring the facility operates at peak safety, efficiency, and reliability. This role isn’t just about oversight; it’s about "owning" the plant—from diving into data-driven troubleshooting and hands-on equipment maintenance to managing the site’s P&L and fostering critical relationships with our landfill partners. Furthermore, as we expand our fleet of operating plants across the USA (currently 7), you will be a peer to a team of other plant managers and operators, exchanging lessons-learned and supporting the broader organization in achieving operational excellence! Supported by a team of reliability specialists, operations engineers, development engineers, and project-delivery personnel, this should prove to be a rewarding experience!
