Job Description
Our client is looking to hire a highly motivated Project Manager for our Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) Pilot Project in Woodland, CA to help our team take the project from design to construction to operations and eventual scale-up of the technology to commercial implementation. The facility is built on our industry leading biomass gasification technology which will be upgraded to producing RNG during the pilot project which culminates in a three-year demonstration of producing pipeline-grade RNG on the California gas grid. The program is in partnership with Pacific Gas and Electric Co. (PG&E) and involves several other key suppliers of gas upgrading technology to be integrated during the project. We are looking for a foundational manager that can come on board and work with the engineering team and suppliers to construct the integrated facility, develop operating procedures, hire operating staff, and participate in the startup and operations of the plant.
The Project Manager will coordinate with the engineering team, PG&E, and the suppliers to oversee the construction and commissioning of the facility. This will include the eventual development of procedures for operations of the RNG pilot plant from feedstock receiving to gas grid delivery to ensuring policies and procedures are followed. They will develop processes that will maximize stewardship, safety, quality and productivity.
