Site Engineering Manager
About The Position
Mantel is developing the first molten-salt-based carbon capture technology which is designed to operate at the high temperatures found inside boilers, kilns, and furnaces – enabling highly efficient carbon capture that has not been possible until now. Carbon capture can be applied across industries to reduce emissions and achieve net-negative emissions. By solving for efficiency Mantel can cut costs substantially, unlocking carbon capture’s role in reaching net zero emissions by 2050. The Site Engineering Lead is Mantel's technical presence on the ground. You'll work closely with the VP of Engineering and Commissioning Director on-site to support execution of Mantel's first demonstration project - managing day-to-day technical activities and making sure nothing falls through the cracks in the field.
