Hands-on operationeel manager

FILLED

OBBOTEC is an innovative technology start-up with the ambition to make a substantial contribution to solving the waste issue, in particular for the high-quality recycling of plastics. OBBOTEC has unique solutions for the plastic waste problem. With OBBOTEC-SPEX (Selective Plastic EXtraction), batchwise dissolution from a plastic-rich waste stream containing polyethylene (PE) and/or polypropylene (PP) is converted into reusable 'near-virgin' quality plastic. The OBBOTEC-HydroCat technique turns a mixed biomass-plastic waste stream into a largely biogenic fuel. Both technologies prevent waste incineration and thus improve the circularity of raw materials. In this way we contribute to a cleaner world with less waste and less CO2 emissions.

Both business activities take place at our location at Plant One in Rotterdam, where we are looking for a hands-on operational manager.

The role of the operationeel manager is to coordinate and organize all operational activities of both SPEX and HydroCat at Plant One Rotterdam.
