About the OpportunityAt Skyven Technologies, we have developed a revolutionary heat pump technology to decarbonize industrial heat and move the needle on climate change. Our technologies have the potential to completely eliminate on-site CO2 emissions from industrial steam. We implement this technology through an innovative Energy-as-a-Service model that provides clean process heat to industrial facilities. We identify, fund, design, build, and install our cutting-edge, decarbonization technologies to help industrial manufacturers reach their sustainability goals, while minimizing their risk and reducing their operational expenses.Industrial heat is responsible for roughly 20% of global CO2 emissions. That’s roughly equivalent to emissions generated by all transportation (including land, sea, and air) and is a compelling business opportunity – it will take an estimated $3.7 trillion in capital investment to decarbonize the sector by 2050. Skyven is at the forefront of this transformation with our state-of-the-art Skyven Arcturus steam-generating heat pumps (SGHPs) which will revolutionize how we address energy needs while combating climate change.About the RoleIn this role, you will be responsible for overseeing and coordinating efforts with engineering firms, consultants, third-party vendors, general contractors, subcontractors, and operations and maintenance teams. Your primary responsibility will be to manage the entire project life cycle of industrial decarbonization projects, from conception and design through procurement, permitting, construction, start-up, and commissioning. To excel in this role, you must have proven experience managing industrial projects with total installation costs ranging from $20 million to $50 million.
