Senior Process Engineer

Job Location: Adelaide, South Australia

This is not your typical process engineering role.

You’ll be at the heart of a next-generation technology that transforms biomass into biochar and renewable heat — helping businesses decarbonise and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. You’ll take the lead in designing and refining high-temperature, carbon-negative systems that have a direct impact on climate and resource efficiency.

If you’re a seasoned engineer who thrives in hands-on environments and wants your work to matter, this is your chance to help scale real climate solutions.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Own the process design, optimisation, and scale-up of pyrolysis systems for commercial deployment.
  • Work across biomass feedstocks, combustion and energy recovery stages, turning waste into valuable products
  • Lead commissioning, troubleshoot field issues, and work closely with controls and mechanical teams.
  • Translate technical data into decisions that improve performance, cut emissions, and reduce waste.
  • Deliver improvements in system yield, thermal efficiency, and sustainability outcomes.

What You Bring

  • 10+ years in process engineering, ideally in pyrolysis, gasification, combustion, or thermal systems.
  • Strong grasp of chemical and thermal process design, instrumentation, and control principles.
  • Experience across pilot and commercial plant commissioning, optimisation, and scaling.
  • High attention to safety, compliance, and real-world performance.
  • Engineering degree (Chemical, Process, Mechanical, or similar); postgrad or project management a plus.

Why This Role?

  • Be a key player in carbon-negative tech with real global potential.
  • Work across lab, test, and field environments — no two days are the same.
  • Join a team that values technical excellence, sustainability, and practical innovation.

Senior Control Systems Engineer

Job Location: Adelaide, South Australia
 
Help bring powerful, planet-positive technology to life.
 
As a Senior Control Systems Engineer, you’ll be the brains behind the automation that powers advanced pyrolysis systems — converting organic waste into clean energy and carbon-storing biochar. You’ll design and deploy smart, safe, and efficient control solutions that keep operations running smoothly in real-world, high-temperature environments.
 
If you know how to build rock-solid control frameworks and want your work to make a global difference, this role is for you.
 
What You’ll Be Doing
 
  • Lead PLC/SCADA system design, development, and deployment across carbon conversion and energy recovery units.
  • Build smart control architectures with integrated sensors, safety interlocks, and thermal feedback systems.
  • Develop HMI interfaces and dashboards for real-time control, diagnostics, and tuning.
  • Support commissioning, troubleshooting, and remote monitoring of field systems.
  • Work closely with process engineers to align automation with thermal performance and yield goals.
What You Bring
 
  • 7+ years of industrial automation experience, ideally in clean energy or high-temperature systems.
  • Mastery of PLCs, SCADA, HMI platforms (Siemens, Rockwell, etc.).
  • Strong foundation in control theory, safety systems, and instrumentation.
  • A track record of delivering full control system lifecycle projects — from concept to commissioning.
  • Degree in Electrical, Mechatronics, or Control Systems Engineering.
Why This Role?
 
  • You’ll own automation for breakthrough carbon technologies.
  • You’ll help scale something that makes a real difference to industry and the environment.
  • You’ll be part of a team that values autonomy, precision, and practical problem-solving.
