Eleven are delighted to be partnering with a rapidly growing CleanTech start-up, who’s mission is accelerate the transition to Net-Zero, by developing a circular manufacturing process, with a principal focus to decarbonise the textiles industry, which is responsible for 4% of global emissions.
Their innovative manufacturing process consumes CO2 emitted by hard-to-abate industries, as feedstock to manufacture virgin synthetic fabrics, essentially enabling them to produce sustainable fabrics from thin air!
Having secured significant investment from leading European Venture Capitalists, the company are now expanding their European footprint by building their first manufacturing pilot line, as part of a European Union funded project.
To support scale-up efforts, they are now looking for a Junior Chemical Engineer in their industrialization team.
This position will effectively translate the outcomes of catalytic chemistry research from the R&D team into plant manufacturing specifications and requirements at all relevant phases.
