ABOUT US
Phase Biolabs converts waste CO₂ and renewable hydrogen into ethanol by gas fermentation, for use as an e-fuel in road fuel, as a low-carbon chemical feedstock and a sustainable aviation fuel precursor. We're a small team scaling a new biomanufacturing process.
YOUR ROLE
As a process engineer working within a multidisciplinary team, you will contribute to the scaling and operation of our continuous gas fermentation process. This position is for someone who likes being a hands-on engineer, designing new systems, building and testing them and learning how they best operate.
If this role excites you but your experience doesn't tick every box below, apply anyway — we're looking for the right person, not a perfect CV.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES
- Help design, build and operate continuous fermentation systems
- Run continuous campaigns and turn the data into process improvements
- Design and operate auxiliary systems
- Integrate ethanol recovery by distillation with the fermentation
- Help refine the mass and energy balances that underpin our pilot plant design
- Work closely with our fermentation team on nutrient and gas delivery strategy
- Proactively troubleshoot, maintain, and get stuck into whatever else the process needs
YOU ARE SOMEONE WHO
- Likes being in the plant room as much as at the desk
- Is curious and data driven
- Takes ownership without waiting to be asked
- Isn’t afraid to make mistakes
- Communicates clearly with people outside your discipline
