Do you want to take a leadership role in accelerating environmental regeneration through cutting-edge biotech? Join a pioneering cleantech company that harnesses the extraordinary power of fungi to break down pollutants, restore ecosystems, and produce green chemicals.

Our client, a fast-growing and well-funded impact start-up, is on a mission to reduce the ecological footprint of industrial activities by turning waste into value — and they’re building a world-class team to do it.

About the role

To support the scale-up of their Bioremediation Unit, we’re looking for a Project Director / Senior Project Manager with strong technical and project leadership experience in environmental engineering. You will oversee the delivery and development of integrated bioremediation projects that combine metabolic digital twin models and fungal-based field applications — targeting persistent contaminants like TPH, HAP, PFAS in soil, sludge, and industrial water.

Your main responsibilities

• Lead R&D and commercial bioremediation projects from start to finish: client engagement, project design, planning, field implementation.
• Coordinate interdisciplinary teams across biology, data science, chemistry, and engineering.
• Scale technical capabilities in collaboration with internal teams (strain production, modelling, genomics).
• Drive strategy, innovation, and team development within the bioremediation unit.
