Base Career helps you apply smarter for this job.
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.
This role is ideal for someone who has worked in a manufacturing, production, processing, or industrial environment and enjoys doing things properly.
You don’t need to have worked with nanomaterials before. What matters is that you are practical, reliable, safety-conscious, and comfortable following processes carefully while working as part of a team.
You’re likely to be a strong fit if you:
Have experience in manufacturing, production, processing, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, food and drink, brewing, distilling, or a similar environment
Enjoy hands-on work with equipment and physical processes
Take pride in accuracy, cleanliness, and doing the job properly
Understand the importance of safety, PPE, procedures, and good record-keeping
Communicate clearly and work well with others
Want to build your skills in a growing advanced materials business
