About Dioxycle
Dioxycle is pioneering breakthrough carbon utilization technologies that convert industrial emissions into sustainable chemicals with unprecedented energy and cost efficiency. By displacing fossil fuels for the production of key chemicals, Dioxycle has the potential to ultimately reduce over 800 million tons of CO2 per year, representing over 2% of the world's emissions.
At the core of our process is a novel "carbon electrolyzer", a machine capable of using just electricity and water to convert carbon emissions back into valuable everyday essential chemicals. Our team is innovating across chemical, mechanical and system engineering to turn carbon transformation into an economically feasible, industrial reality through this completely novel technological approach. Having completed our medium-scale Proof-of-Concept electrolyzer, we are now working towards a first-of-its-kind large-scale industrial prototype and are assembling key partnerships for future commercial roll-out.
We are supported by world-class funders including Lowercarbon Capital, Breakthrough Energy Ventures and Gigascale Capital and have raised $37M to date. We operate from two centers in Paris and California (so whether you are passionate about outdoors or good food/art scenes, we have a location for you to join!)
Your Mission
Dioxycle is seeking a detail-oriented Infrastructure & Safety Manager to join our team at this pivotal phase of transition from R&D to industrial piloting. You will be responsible for the safety, upkeep, maintenance of our Paris (Saint-Ouen) infrastructure and ensure our operations are never bottlenecked. This infrastructure includes an electrochemical lab, a mechanical workshop, industrial-scale prototypes and experimental equipment, with integrated office & meeting-room space. You will manage a small team (2-3 people) of technicians/operators and your ultimate goal will be to ensure that all our experimental and scale-up operations run smoothly and safely.
Key Responsibilities:

- Ensure compliance with all relevant health & safety regulation, including organizing all necessary training sessions;
- Ensure safety rules are followed and assist in writing new rules and risk assessments;
- Track and ensure compliance with all annual/regular certification and maintenance inspections;
