Festanstellung, Vollzeit · Berlin

Your mission
You will take on the central role at the critical intersection between our internal engineering development and our external design and construction partners. Your primary mission is to ensure the technical integrity and feasibility of our demanding First-of-a-Kind (FOAK) specifications throughout the entire Design-to-Build process.
You will serve as the technical point of contact for Project Management, guaranteeing that external suppliers and partners accurately translate our requirements into viable construction plans and final facilities.

  • Project and Supplier Steering: You act as the primary technical interface to our key partners, coordinating the technical information flow, leading kick-off meetings, and ensuring the timely delivery of technical documentation.
  • Technical Specification Control and Interface Management: You oversee compliance with our technical specifications, drawings (e.g., P&IDs, layouts), and standards by external engineering and construction partners.
  • Technical Change Management: You evaluate technical deviations, change requests, and non-conformities from external partners regarding their impact on system performance, budget, and schedule, and you make decisions on technical approvals.
  • Schedule Adherence Monitoring: You regularly report to the Program Manager on the technical progress, risks, and bottlenecks related to internal and external implementation. You continuously monitor and analyze internal and external partners’ progress against the Master Project Schedule, focusing specifically on technical milestones (e.g., long-lead item drawing releases, critical design review sign-offs, fabrication start dates).
  • Execution & Action Management: You drive the day-to-day execution of the technical workstream by translating project requirements into clear action items, assigning ownership, and ensuring timely follow-through. You proactively track open actions across all partners, resolve blockers, and maintain operational momentum to keep the project on schedule.

About us
We are an early startup with a big vision - remove 500 million tons of global CO2 emissions from the air by 2035 through Direct Air Capture, roughly the same weight as all humans on earth combined!

To meet our climate targets the reduction of CO2 emissions is not enough, the world actively has to remove billions of tons of CO2 from our atmosphere. To achieve that we at Ucaneo develop an innovative electrochemical Direct Air Capture technology mimicking the human lung to remove CO2 from ambient air.

We are a science and mission-driven team, fast-moving with a break-or-make attitude. Our office and industrial hall is located at Schwarze-Pumpe-Weg 16, 12681 Berlin including a large outdoor area to build one of the largest industrial DAC plants in Germany.

Our commitment to you:
  • Impact: You will work on the biggest problem of our time, climate change, with the potential to impact the lives of billions of people
  • Day to day: Full responsibility to design your own workstream and control your working hours with a very high degree of freedom, flat hierarchy and teamwork
  • Professional growth: Join a disruptive high-growth tech startup from day 1 and grow / lead a high-performing team
