The posting

Plant Manager, Demonstration Plant

Queens Carbon | Stockertown, PA | Full-time, on-site

Build the future of cement.

About Queens Carbon

Queens Carbon is developing a new way to produce cementitious materials from limestone and clay—the same widely available feedstocks the cement industry uses today—with best-in-class economics competitive with traditional cement and a fraction of the CO₂ emissions. No incentives or green premium required.

We are building our 10-ton-per-day demonstration plant at an existing cement facility in Stockertown, Pennsylvania. We are seeking a Plant Manager to lead commissioning, startup, and day-to-day operations of this first-of-a-kind facility.

This is a hands-on leadership role. You will build and manage a small operating team, establish safe and reliable plant operations, and work closely with R&D and Engineering to turn operating experience into the data and improvements needed for commercial deployment.

What You'll Do

  • Lead plant commissioning, startup, and transition to steady operations, working with engineering, contractors, and equipment suppliers to resolve installation and performance issues.
  • Recruit, train, supervise, and develop a small team of operators and technicians, establishing clear responsibilities, shift schedules, and performance expectations.
  • Manage daily plant operations and experimental campaigns, including production scheduling, process optimization, and operating performance.
  • Lead operational safety, including equipment safety, lockout/tagout, hazard assessments, training, and compliance with applicable MSHA requirements and host-site procedures.
  • Coordinate activities with the host cement plant, including utilities, maintenance, site access, environmental requirements, and shared safety responsibilities.
  • Work closely with R&D and Engineering to execute test plans, collect accurate process data and samples, and translate operating results into improvements for commercial system design.
  • Establish preventive maintenance, spare parts, and equipment inspection programs to improve reliability and minimize downtime.
  • Maintain operating procedures, run logs, safety records, and equipment documentation, including updates to P&IDs and change records.
  • Manage operating budgets, contractors, consumables, materials handling, and sample shipments.
  • Track and report plant performance, including safety, throughput, energy consumption, reliability, and progress against operational milestones.

What You Bring

  • Industrial operations leadership: 10+ years of experience in cement, lime, minerals processing, chemicals, or related industrial operations, including direct supervision of plant personnel.
  • Hands-on technical expertise: Experience commissioning, operating, maintaining, and troubleshooting industrial process equipment, particularly solids handling, thermal systems, and plant utilities.
  • Plant startup experience: Demonstrated ability to bring new equipment or production lines into operation, develop operating procedures, and establish reliable performance.
  • Safety leadership: Strong industrial safety record and familiarity with MSHA requirements, lockout/tagout, hazard assessments, and operational safety programs.
  • Technical capabilities: Ability to interpret P&IDs, mechanical drawings, operating data, and equipment documentation, with familiarity with PLC/HMI systems.
  • Leadership and execution: Ability to manage people, contractors, daily priorities, and technical challenges in a fast-changing industrial environment.
  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering or a related technical field, or equivalent industrial operating and leadership experience.

Especially valuable experience: Cement manufacturing, continuous solids processing, first-of-a-kind industrial equipment, MSHA-regulated facilities, or experimental and demonstration plants. Familiarity with cement and SCM quality testing is a plus.

Don't meet every qualification? We welcome candidates from diverse industrial backgrounds who demonstrate strong technical leadership and experience bringing new technologies into operation.

Compensation & Benefits

This position is based at our demonstration plant in Stockertown, Pennsylvania, with periodic travel to our R&D headquarters in Cedar Grove, New Jersey. The role is full-time and on-site, with occasional off-hours support during commissioning and test campaigns.

The position involves working in an industrial environment with required PPE and physical activities associated with plant operations.

We offer:

  • Competitive base salary
  • Equity ownership in Queens Carbon
  • Competitive paid time off (PTO)

  • 401(k) retirement plan
