Mantel is developing the first molten-salt-based carbon capture technology designed to operate at the high temperatures found inside boilers, kilns, and furnaces — enabling highly efficient carbon capture that has not been possible until now. Carbon capture can be applied across industries to reduce emissions and achieve net-negative emissions. By solving for efficiency Mantel can cut costs substantially, unlocking carbon capture's role in reaching net zero emissions by 2050.

You'll be responsible for keeping the system running — diagnosing problems, getting hands on equipment, and doing whatever it takes to maintain safe, stable operations. This is not a desk job and it is not a remote role. You will be physically present at the Wayagamack site every day, working through real problems in real time.This role is for someone who is energized by field work and troubleshooting — who needs to see and touch a problem to solve it, and who finds paperwork tolerable only because it supports the actual work.This job requires either 10 on/10 off travel or relocation (stipend provided).What you'll do:1. Day-to-Day OperationsOwn the day-to-day operational health of Mantel's demonstration unit at Wayagamack — if something isn't running right, you're the first person on itExecute and oversee operating procedures, shift handovers, and routine checks to keep the system running safely and consistentlyMonitor system performance in real time and respond quickly when something is off — you don't wait for problems to escalateCoordinate with Kruger's site team and operations personnel to maintain a safe, professional,



and collaborative on-site environment2. Troubleshooting & Problem SolvingDiagnose and resolve mechanical, process, instrumentation, and operational issues in the field — hands-on, methodical, and fastWork through problems systematically: identify root cause, implement fixes, verify resolution, and document what happened and whyBuild a working knowledge of every system on the unit so that no problem is outside your scopeKnow when to call for backup and when to solve it yourself — and be honest about the difference3. Field Work & MaintenanceGet your hands dirty — conduct field inspections, support maintenance activities, assist trades, and do the physical work the system requiresEnsure equipment is maintained to a high standard: lubrication, calibration checks, filter changes, and general upkeep don't get delegated if you can do them yourselfIdentify maintenance needs proactively and address them before they become failuresSupport ongoing commissioning activities: procedure execution, punch list close-out, and system startup and shutdownIdentify opportunities to improve operability, reliability, and system performance based on direct field experienceFeed observations and lessons learned back to the Commissioning Director and engineering team to inform design improvements and scale-up5. Documentation & ReportingMaintain accurate operating logs, shift reports, and field records — not because you love paperwork,



but because the record mattersReport clearly and concisely to the Commissioning Director on system status, active issues, and progressFlag safety concerns, near-misses, and process deviations immediately and document them completelyWho You Are:Experience: 8+ years of hands-on experience in industrial plant operations, commissioning, or field engineering — in process, power, pulp and paper, or a related heavy industrial environmentEducation: B.Eng., B.S., technical diploma, or trade certification in a relevant discipline — demonstrated field competency matters more than credentialsPut differently,You're a troubleshooter above all else — methodical, hands-on, and not satisfied until you understand exactly what went wrong and whyYou're physically comfortable in an industrial setting and an early start doesn't slow you downYou have the engineering depth to read a P&ID, interpret a trend, and understand what a system is telling youYou're self-directed and reliable — on-site autonomy suits youYou're low-ego and safety-first, and you don't need to be chased for updatesWhat You'll Get:A central role in proving a first-of-a-kind carbon capture technology at industrial scaleClose collaboration with a high-caliber engineering and commissioning teamA clear path toward greater scope and seniority as Mantel's project portfolio growsWe provide competitive and holistic compensation to all our full-time team members, including:Highly competitive pay based on experience, including equity90% subsidized medical and dental healthcare coverage for employees, 50% for dependents (100% in Canada)Unlimited vacation policy, mental health personal days, generous sick leave, plus a week-long winter break at the end of December #J-18808-Ljbffr
