About the Role
Brightsmith is seeking an Engineering Manager for Clean Energy to lead a multidisciplinary engineering team developing innovative clean energy technology systems. In this hands-on, fast-paced role, you will take ownership of multidisciplinary design efforts across mechanical, electrical, and process engineering disciplines. You will guide system integration, manage technical risks, and mentor a team dedicated to solving some of the most urgent challenges in climate hardware.

This role offers the opportunity to lead the design and delivery of state-of-the-art power plants already deployed in real-world projects across the UK and Europe. You will oversee the technical design of direct air capture systems from R&D through to deployed hardware, ensuring cross-functional integration between engineering disciplines and core scientific principles.

The position comes with a very competitive compensation package, meaningful equity, and benefits that support long-term growth within one of the most exciting sectors in clean technology.

Experience
- Background in chemical or process engineering, ideally with experience in petrochemicals, energy, chemicals, or climate tech sectors.
- Proven track record of managing engineering teams and maximizing team performance.
- Deep understanding of technical risk in complex hardware or chemical systems and strategies to de-risk them.
- Bonus: Experience pushing boundaries in new technologies (not necessarily clean tech) is highly valued.

About you
Motivated leader passionate about clean energy and climate technology, with strong interpersonal skills to mentor and inspire a multidisciplinary engineering team. You thrive in a fast-paced environment and are committed to delivering innovative solutions to complex challenges.

Qualifications
Relevant engineering degree or equivalent experience in chemical, process, or related engineering disciplines.
