About Mission Zero Technologies We’re a London-based climate tech startup working to reinvent carbon for a thriving planet. Since 2020, we have rapidly pioneered the world’s most versatile direct air capture (DAC) technology to recover historic CO₂ emissions from the atmosphere, anywhere at any scale. Backed by Breakthrough Energy Ventures, the XPRIZE foundation, Stripe, and the UK Government, we’ve moved a brand new climate technology from lab to commercial plants in under three years to rapidly empower carbon removal and sustainable utilisation.
The Role You have the opportunity to join MZT at a pivotal point in our company's history - our transition from an early-stage R&D startup into a product offering, revenue-generating company poised to rapidly scale our DAC technology across the world. Our vision for our early stage employees is that they own the business with us (literally), grow it with us and become part of the collective story of Mission Zero, taking a catalytic role in its early history and the fight against climate change. MZT is hiring an Operations Engineer, suited to either a recent chemical engineering graduate or an operator from a chemical industry background. Experience in servicing and repair of absorption, scrubbing, gas–liquid separation systems, or electrodialytic processes is desirable.
Job Requirements In this role, you will operate and maintain our first technology deployments at industrial scale. Working on sites designed and built by our engineering teams, you’ll help execute pilot plant experimental plans, focusing on troubleshooting, breakdowns, and identifying reliability challenges during extended operation. For at least the first year, the role will be primarily site-based at our Thetford site, with time spent at our East London labs and offices, and travel to customer sites across the UK and abroad. Ideally you will be local to the Thetford area or willing to relocate closer. You will demonstrate safe and effective operational and maintenance practices while working rotational shifts alongside MZT science and engineering staff.
