Anodyne is a chemicals company helping businesses build better products. Join our team to help shape the future of chemistry.
Almost every product in modern life relies on chemicals and fuels made from fossil resources. Anodyne Chemistries exists to change that. From our base in Vancouver, we combine electrochemistry and synthetic biology to make essential chemicals with green electricity, tackling one of the hardest industries to decarbonize. Our pilot plant is where that vision meets the real world, and the person who runs it will help prove that sustainable chemistry can work at scale.
As the Pilot Plant Manager, you will own the day-to-day running of Anodyne's newly commissioned pilot plant. Your role is to balance research, development, and production priorities, keep the plant secure, and turn every run into reliable data.
This is primarily a leadership role, with a strong hands-on technical side. A start‑up pilot plant changes constantly: equipment gets modified, procedures get written for the first time, and plans shift with new results. You are someone who thrives in a fast‑paced environment, bringing structure where it helps and judgement where no procedure exists yet.
Coordinate plant time. Manage planning across R&D;, engineering and production. Own the plant's safety culture and systems, including hazard reviews (e.
HAZOP, management of change), lock‑out/tag‑out, incident reporting and procedure training. Oversee start‑ups, shutdowns,test campaigns and production runs, making sure each run meets its goals.
Build and lead the plant team. Hire, and train operators & technicians, plan shift coverage, and promote skill training as the plant grows.
Assist technical work. Be willing to roll your sleeves up and troubleshoot equipment, process and control issues when required. Experience with root‑cause investigations is an asset.
