About Revive Environmental:
Revive Environmental, a clean technology spin-out from Battelle Memorial Institute, is at the forefront of environmental technology, specializing in innovative solutions for the treatment of toxic per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) using supercritical water oxidation (SCWO) technologies. Revive's GAC RENEW™ product offering is a promising technology that combines the closed loop PFAS end state using SCWO with an in-situ renewal in place extraction process for PFAS-laden media. Revive Environmental operates a wastewater treatment as a service business model, which means we take a customer's waste project (one-time or continuous) and deliver a closed loop PFAS destruction service...we do not stop until we provide a documented proof of destruction of the contaminant in question. Committed to sustainability and excellence, we lead the industry in providing advanced PFAS treatment solutions while upholding values of integrity, collaboration, entrepreneurial spirit, and excellence.
Position Overview:
The Technology Development Manager is responsible for the management, planning, execution, and reporting of technology & application development for GAC Renew projects. Activities range from end-to-end technical development including project ideation, timeline, technology selection, implementation supervision, startup, and project closeout. Activities to include designing, monitoring and improving chemical processes through bench scale experimentation, field experiments and external collaboration. Development will involve process design and equipment selection efforts, and scale up. Success in this role will require existing capability in process design and implementation from concept to field operation.
Key Responsibilities: Lead technical development of the GAC RENEW platform from bench scale concept testing through operational process design and larger scale implementation.Partner with internal stakeholders to understand project requirements and define the technical parameters to ensure delivery of high-quality solutions.Develop and maintain expertise in granular activated carbon properties and renewalDevelop and maintain expertise in solvent recovery and management.Provide direction, and technical expertise to associates, cross-functional partners, and consultants to facilitate timely execution and collaboration.Mentor and collaborate with technicians to design and execute experiments.Present regular project updates to key stakeholders, including sr. leadership.Maintain, increase, and enhance Revive's chemical processing intellectual property portfolio.Guide the long-term technology roadmap including working with the broader engineering team on cross-platform continuous improvement and cost savingsTravel to locations across the US to identify operational locations and assess customer systems. Note, for this role, travel will vary but will be heavy during peak scale-up initiatives. Qualifications: Education: Bachelor's degree in engineering, chemistry or relevant scientific field (preferably chemical or mechanical engineering)Experience: 5+ years of relevant experience. Ideal experience to include product development & design of experiments for chemical processes/products from bench through production scale applications. Technical skills: Ability to create chemical process models, evaluate them in the laboratory, analyze and apply results, lead the creation of field prototypes, and lead final product and process design & installation. Experience in utilizing granular activated carbon or other sequestration media for large scale water treatment and/or solvent extraction a plus but not required. Leadership skills: Confidence leading and influencing large scale changes including driving results and repeatable success and experience aligning and influencing others. Knowledge of project management methodologies and best practices to drive program success.Entrepreneurial nature: Curious Learner who actively engages internally and externally to develop knowledge of products, services, and industry to further product design and development. Excellent communication and collaboration skills with the ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment.Ability to travel to customer locations and field sites across the continental US.Must be a U.S. Person, as defined by U.S. export control laws.
