About Again
At Again, we are tackling one of the planet’s most pressing issues—CO2 emissions—by transforming them into a solution. Our innovative approach involves fermenting industrial waste gases into carbon-negative chemicals, thereby turning harmful emissions into valuable, green chemicals. With each tonne of product we create, we remove over 2 tonnes of carbon from the atmosphere. Backed by over $100 million in funding from top venture capital investors and the European Union’s Horizon 2020 programme, we’re poised for rapid growth and global impact. If you think we’re doomed - think Again. What you’ll do We are seeking an experienced and driven Site Lead to oversee the full lifecycle of our first-of-a-kind (FOAK) bioCCU project, from Engineering, Procurement, and Construction through to Commissioning and Startup. This role is crucial for ensuring the seamless operation, profitability, and successful scale-up of our CO2 conversion technology. The Site Lead will play key roles across all phases, ensuring effective coordination between engineering, operations, and external stakeholders, while maintaining a focus on safety, quality, and project delivery timelines. As Site Lead you will have responsibilities throughout all phases of the plant lifecycle: Engineering/Procurement Phase Assist the Head of Project Delivery and Engineering team with: EPC surveillance and engineering reviews. Host-site interactions and site preparation activities. Developing the construction strategy. Vendor shop visits and surveillance. Participation in HAZOP studies.
