About Us

At Licella, we are transforming the future of energy and materials. Our breakthrough Hydrothermal Liquefaction (HTL) technology converts waste into renewable fuels, chemicals, and recycled materials – driving the circular economy and accelerating the world's transition to net zero.

Our values of Safety, Trust, Respect, and Innovation guide everything we do – from how we deliver projects to how we partner with communities, suppliers, and each other.

The Opportunity

We are seeking an experienced Project Manager to lead the delivery of biofuels and bioenergy projects from concept through to commissioning.

What You'll Do

  • Lead end-to-end project delivery – design, procurement, construction, and commissioning.
  • Coordinate cross-functional teams and external contractors, fostering a collaborative, respectful culture.
  • Manage budgets, schedules, and contracts to ensure strong commercial outcomes.
  • Uphold a safety-first culture and ensure compliance with HSE and regulatory standards.
  • Build trusted relationships with stakeholders including regulators, partners, and internal leaders.
  • Drive innovation and continuous improvement in project delivery.

What You'll Bring

  • Degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, or related) or Project Management.
  • 8+ years' project management experience in energy, renewables, refining, or large industrial projects.
  • Proven track record delivering capital projects through to commissioning.
  • Strong leadership and coordination skills across diverse teams.
  • Commercial acumen with contract and budget management experience.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management capability.
  • Experience in biofuels, bioenergy, or renewables will be highly regarded.

Why Join Licella?

  • Be part of a global leader in renewable technology with projects that are shaping a sustainable future.
  • Work with a passionate, values-driven team committed to Safety, Trust, Respect, and Innovation.
  • Collaborate on pioneering projects that push the boundaries of what's possible.
  • Competitive salary and benefits package.
  • Opportunity to grow your career in a rapidly expanding renewable energy sector.
