Introduction

Brightsmith is proud to be representing an innovative cleantech startup in the search for an Engineering Scale-Up Lead based in Greater Vancouver.

This is a high-impact opportunity to take advanced recycling technology from development into full operational reality. You will play a central role in scaling a process designed to tackle one of the most complex challenges in sustainability, enabling blended plastics to be recycled back into existing supply chains.

What Makes This Role Stand Out

• Opportunity to lead the transition from R&D to full-scale industrial operation
• A dual mandate across engineering development and operational readiness
• Direct impact on advancing circular solutions for plastic waste
• A leadership role with real ownership across scale-up, commissioning, and early production
• A collaborative, mission-driven environment with strong technical challenges
