Are you ready to save the planet?
We help prevent a climate crisis by freeing the world from fossil fuels. Our breakthrough direct air capture (DAC) technology captures CO₂ from the atmosphere and produces hydrogen in parallel.
The clock is ticking. What are you waiting for?
Our goals are ambitious. To make them real, we need professionals who thrive on turning ideas into working reality, who are hands-on, and who are excited to see cutting-edge climate tech deployed in the field.
As a Deployment Manager (f/m/x) at Greenlyte Carbon Technologies, you’ll play a key role in managing our DAC system deployments across pilot and commercial sites. With a background in Civil or Construction Engineering, you will act as the on-site interface between Greenlyte’s engineering team, contractors, and site partners—ensuring that civil, structural, and installation activities are well-coordinated and aligned with project requirements.
You'll collaborate closely with Engineering, Operations, and Procurement teams and report to our Deployment & Project Engineering leadership. Your work will be essential to achieving our plant rollout roadmap, including our flagship DAC-to-eMethanol plant at Chemiepark Marl.
