May 12, 2025

Iogen is uniquely positioned to win the Net Zero energy transition with transformative bioenergy technology.
We have been a leader in low-carbon fuels for more than 35 years, always on the exciting edge of development.
We are focussed on the science and technology that produces abundant, affordable RNG-based fuels while removing carbon from the atmosphere and are developing new ways to turn biomass into transportation fuels while using existing refinery infrastructure to do it.

We are excited about the future and are looking for highly motivated people with a strong technical background, a positive attitude and demonstrated initiative to join our team.

We have an immediate opportunity for a dedicated individual to join us as a Technology Plant Operator, reporting to the Staff Scientist Manager.
This role is an exciting opportunity for someone with a solid understanding of mechanical systems and an openness to learn about the chemistry and production of low carbon fuels.

This is a permanent, full-time role.
In this role, you will be responsible for investigating fiber processing and anaerobic digestion in a small-scale pilot plant setting.

This is not a routine plant manufacturing role.
You will execute process runs, collect data and collaborate with team members to validate new procedures, troubleshoot issues, identify and implement solutions and improve processes.

Set up, operate, and monitor pilot-scale equipment and systems (reactors, filtration, grinding units, etc.) Execute process protocols derived from lab-scale experiments, adapting them for pilot equipment and supporting the identification of critical scale-dependent behaviors
Ensure rigorous documentation of operational steps, observations, and deviations in both paper and digital logs
Immediately report all incidents and hazards.
Respond to alarms and abnormal conditions with critical thinking and swift action, both on-site and on-call

Diploma, certificate or degree in a relevant field; 2 - 4 years plant operations experience in chemical, biochemical, or biotech industries including:

~ Experience operating within R&D (research & development) or pilot-scale environments rather than full-scale production
~ Proficient with troubleshooting and operating mechanical equipment
~ Prior exposure to process scale-up, technology transfer, or process intensification
~ Ability to identify and communicate unexpected process behavior-both verbally and in writing
~ Forklift or rigging/hoist certification will be considered an asset

Familiar with control systems (DCS or PLC-based interfaces) and instrumentation
Ability to understand, troubleshoot and solve mechanical problems
Competent in basic data analysis and clearly communicating findings
Familiar with the Microsoft applications suite (Word, Excel)
Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail and an aptitude for critical analysis
Ability to adapt to rapidly changing corporate focuses and industry dynamics, being flexible and efficient in the fast-paced industry environment
Regular day shifts from Monday to Friday, with occasional off-hour and/or weekend duties to support research needs
Workloads may vary but can expect a balance of 70% plant work, with 30% analytical analysis and desk-based tasks

EAP (employee assistance plan)
Free on-site parking
