Project manager and researcher in bioremediation

We are looking for a highly motivated project manager and researcher to support our bioremediation projects.

In this role, you will be responsible for the day-to-day management of the delivery of our innovative bioremediation solutions, conducting additional research as needed to support our impact.

Our bioremediation approaches combine the exploitation of metabolic digital twin-based metabolic bioremediation models with fungus-based field remediation approaches, with a particular focus on the degradation of persistent and emerging contaminants in soils, industrial waters, and sludge.

You will work in collaboration with multidisciplinary teams to address complex environmental challenges and optimize bioremediation processes, with rigorous scientific approaches.

Responsibilities:

• Participate in the initial design of bioremediation projects tailored to the unique characteristics of specific soils, industrial waters, and sludge.

• Lead the day-to-day implementation of bioremediation projects, including coordinating contributions from other team members (e.g., colleagues from laboratory and production and computational biology units).

• Assist in the development of protocols, collect and analyze samples to define the most appropriate bioremediation approach.

• Monitor bioremediation process data to assess their effectiveness. Work with our Project Director to make the necessary adjustments to optimize performance while meeting environmental standards.

• Maintain detailed records of experiences, field evaluations and project results.

• Communicate project and research results.

• Coordinate and contribute to reporting for internal teams, clients, and regulatory bodies.

Research and development:

• Conduct research to identify appropriate microorganisms or biological agents to address specific environmental contaminants.

• Develop and optimize bioremediation processes through laboratory experiments.

• Work closely with the Computational Biology Unit to continuously improve digital tools to support bioremediation, in a client- and project-centered approach. You will play a key role in developing the digital solution and ensuring that it is closely tailored to solve remediation challenges and market needs.

• Education : Master's or PhD degree in bioremediation, environmental engineering, geology, or a related field.

• Technical skills and professional experience:

  • Know-how in environmental microbiology and bioremediation techniques.

  • Proficiency in the analysis of environmental data and the use of laboratory analysis tools.

  • Ideally, early experience in the design and implementation of bioremediation systems.

  • Good knowledge of the sanitation industry, legislative frameworks, implementation and management of sanitation projects.

• Entrepreneurial spirit: Comfortable with the startup culture and ability to thrive in a dynamic and often ambiguous environment. Our processes are still being built, and that's part of the fun. If you like to roll up your sleeves, figure things out as you go, make inventing, consolidating, and scaling solutions at your own level, you'll feel right at home here. This role requires the ability to work independently and move forward, even when not all the pieces are in place. We are looking for someone who can focus on what matters most, with a collaborative and positive mindset.

• Passion for Mission: If you are the ideal candidate, your motivation must come from the urgent need to restore our planet. Your role goes beyond a job ; It is a commitment to be part of a team that builds and implements the best solutions for a sustainable future.

• Communication and collaboration:

  • Able to communicate accurately and effectively, both orally and in writing

• Excellent team player, able to collaborate with colleagues and partners with diverse skills and experience (including profiles in biology, chemistry, computer science, engineering, technology, administration and management).

• Fluency in English and French, both oral and written, is required to communicate effectively with team members, clients and partners.
