Senior Plant Operator
Petaluma, CA

Beyond The Dome is seeking a talented Senior Operator to join our rapidly growing team.  The Senior Operator will be an essential contributor to our first product—you will be a critical part of taking the current system all the way to a disruptive product.

 

 

Company:  

Beyond The Dome is building a containerized system that destroys contaminants in water in seconds. We help industries dealing with wastewater meet their climate commitments, generate power, and clean water.  Our ultra-efficient supercritical water oxidation (ultra-SCWOTM) process destroys over 99.9% of organic contaminants within a few seconds, including PFAS, microplastics, and pharmaceuticals, and uses the energy contained within the waste to power the process.  Our long-term goal is to give people access to the best possible wastewater treatment by developing a global network of our ultra-SCWOTM systems.

 

Team:  

We strive to be an incredibly talented, collaborative, and innovative group of people. We are solving a problem with at least a billion-dollar market opportunity, for a customer who is urgently demanding solutions. The solution demands a difficult-but-not-impossible amount of technical innovation to achieve success. We are a well-funded startup pioneering a new product within a space that is ripe for innovation.

You:

Does this sound like you? "I am an experienced technician/operator who prides myself on my professionalism and on being a detail-oriented troubleshooter with excellent communication skills. I am a hands-on master technician, comfortable with scientific fundamentals and the latest tools."

Ideally, you come from a fast-paced environment, having completed difficult projects with multidisciplinary groups. You are a persistent problem solver, troubleshooter, and craftsman.

 

Your background should include technician training and certification in a highly technical field and extensive experience with:

  • Operating industrial machines and systems, such as water/wastewater treatment facilities, power generation, chemical processing, mining, or similar

  • Supporting industrial R&D, ideally at hardware startups

  • Hands-on operation of equipment such as reactors, heat exchangers, pumps, and instrumentation

  • Field pilot operations, including hardware update, maintenance and repairs
