Technical Operations Manager - UAE

Overview

At Sirona Technologies, we are developing direct air capture (DAC) technology to remove CO₂ from the air and combat climate change. We are scaling up from prototypes to industrial machines ready for mass production and global deployment. Our first site is located in Oman, where we are capturing CO₂ using our modular DAC units.

We are looking for an exceptional and mission-driven Technical Operations Manager to take ownership of day-to-day operations at our site. The site will already be operational with its first capture container. You will build a team to operate the unit, ensure it runs reliably and lead the commissioning of new containers as we scale up capacity in 2025 and beyond.

Responsibilities

As Technical Operations Manager, you will :

• Own day-to-day operations of our DAC site.
• Lead the commissioning and integration of additional DAC containers as we scale capture capacity.
• Troubleshoot and resolve technical issues, working closely with our engineering team in Belgium.
• Collaborate with HQ teams to test and validate technical upgrades.
• Monitor system performance and drive improvements in uptime, throughput, and energy efficiency.
• Develop and implement operating procedures, safety protocols, and maintenance schedules.
• Ensure compliance with all local safety and environmental regulations.
• Monitor and report on project progress and operational metrics.
• Report key operational metrics to HQ and contribute to cross-functional planning.
• Develop and manage project plans, timelines, and budgets to ensure successful project delivery.
• Hire, train, and lead the local operations staff to build a strong, capable team.
• Source and manage local contractors, service providers, and spare parts suppliers.
• Serve as our local point of contact for logistics, site access, and stakeholder coordination in Oman.
