We are looking for a Project Manager / Project Lead to deliver integrated CO₂ mineralisation projects, starting with a UAE-based project involving CO₂ capture from a wastewater source, liquefaction, transport, and permanent storage.
This is not a conventional EPC role. You will lead a multi-stakeholder, interface-heavy project, coordinating across CO₂ suppliers, transport logistics, utilities, and subsurface injection systems.
You will act as the single point of integration, ensuring all project components align technically, commercially, and on schedule. The role requires balancing technical depth, project management discipline, and stakeholder alignment in a highly integrated and evolving project environment.
