Process Technology Expert – Clean Chemical Innovation (Chemical Engineering) | Munich, Germany

Disrupt the Plastics Paradigm. Build the Future of Circular Chemistry.

On behalf of a cutting-edge clean-tech start-up based in Munich, we are seeking a hands-on Technology Expert to lead the development and scale-up of a novel chemical recycling process—moving far beyond pyrolysis or gasification to unlock high-value chemical building blocks from mixed plastic waste.

This is not incremental innovation. You’ll be central to the design, modelling, and operation of a breakthrough demonstration plant (100–200 kg/day input), working at the intersection of chemistry, engineering, and environmental impact.

The ideal candidate:

• 10+ years of chemical or petrochemical engineering experience
  
  
• Strong background in reactor design, process scale-up, and Aspen or equivalent modelling tools
  
  
• Practical leadership in cross-functional engineering teams
  
  
• Eager to operate in a fast-paced, purpose-driven environment focused on climate solutions
  
  

Why this role?
You’ll join an ambitious early-stage team tackling one of the world’s most urgent environmental problems. You’ll have the freedom to build both the technology and the team—and the opportunity to shape the direction of an emerging clean-tech leader.

Location: Munich, Germany
