Description
A Powerful Partnership St1 Biokraft is a joint venture between St1 and HitecVision, combining expertise and resources to drive innovation in the biomethane sector. Our goal is to become the leading integrated biomethane provider in the Nordics, playing a vital role in the energy transition. We cover the entire value chain – from feedstock sourcing to distribution and end-user sales – with a strong emphasis on heavy transport, maritime, and industrial sectors. To support this ambitious growth, we are investing over EUR 1 billion in biomethane production and distribution infrastructure across the Nordics, with several large-scale projects already in progress. Plant Operations Manager, St1 Biokraft, Mönsterås Lead operations at a key biomethane production site in St1 Biokraft’s growing Nordic platform. Bring people, process and technology together to strengthen operational discipline, plant reliability and continuous improvement — and help shape the operating standards that will support our continued growth. Mönsterås plays an important role in our production network and in the continued development of St1 Biokraft’s integrated biomethane platform. Having progressed through project development, technical ramp-up and operational transition, the site is now entering its next phase, with a continued focus on operational maturity, reliability and long-term industrial performance. About the Role Biomethane production is a connected system. Feedstock availability, substrate planning, process stability, logistics, maintenance, gas production, digestate handling, suppliers and local stakeholders all influence operational performance. You do not need to know every technical detail from day one, but you need the curiosity, judgement and industrial experience to understand how the system works — and what questions need to be asked before decisions are made. As Plant Operations Manager, you will take on a key site leadership role with overall responsibility for asset operations and maintenance at site level. A central part of the role is to develop the site’s daily operating model. This involves strengthening planning and follow-up, clarifying ways of working, and building clear ownership within the site organisation. You will ensure that operations, maintenance and process expertise are closely aligned with key interfaces, including feedstock planning, logistics, suppliers and central functions — fostering the collaboration and understanding needed to drive reliable plant performance. You will work closely with the Regional Manager, process specialists, maintenance resources, feedstock and logistics functions, HSEQ, project resources and external suppliers. You will act as the link between the business's strategic direction and the practical realities of running a complex production site every day. The role reports to the Regional Manager and is based at the Mönsterås site. What You Bring We are looking for a site leader who combines operational leadership with technical understanding, people leadership and sound business judgement. You know how to run industrial operations where safety, production, maintenance, people and cost must be managed together. You are comfortable being close to the operation, asking practical questions, making fact-based decisions and creating structure without slowing the organisation down. You may come from biogas, energy, process industry, utilities, food production, chemicals, pulp and paper, wastewater, recycling or another industrial environment where complex operations, technical reliability and safe production are central. Qualifications and experience Relevant technical education, preferably within engineering, process, production, maintenance or similar. Equivalent practical industrial experience may also be relevant. Proven leadership experience from industrial operations, production, maintenance or site management. Exper
