Chemical Process Operator
Hands-on production. Real equipment. Materials that can help decarbonise the world.
Why this role exists
Promethean Particles is scaling the production of a new class of materials—metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)—that can play an important role in more energy-efficient carbon capture.
This means real manufacturing work, not theoretical development:
- Full-scale and pilot-scale reactor systems
- Chemical processing and post-processing equipment
- Pumps, pipework, filter presses, and ovens
- Safety-critical procedures and quality standards
- Products being manufactured for real-world use
We’re looking for a Process Operator who enjoys practical, hands-on manufacturing and wants to be part of a growing production team working on technology with genuine environmental impact.
This role is a 9-5 role, not shift work.
Who this role is best suited to
This role is ideal for someone comfortable in a manufacturing, production, processing, or industrial environment who enjoys doing things properly.
You don’t need direct experience with nanomaterials before. What matters is:
✅ A practical mindset and comfort following processes ✅ Reliability, safety consciousness, and teamwork ✅ Attention to accuracy and meticulous record-keeping
A strong fit if you:
- Have experience in:
- Manufacturing, chemicals, pharmaceuticals
- Food and drink, brewing, or distilling
- Maintenance or operational roles
- Enjoy hands-on work with equipment
- Take pride in accuracy and cleanliness
- Understand safety, PPE, procedures, and documentation
- Communicate well and collaborate easily
- Want to develop skills in growing advanced materials
