Manager, Plant Operations

Join Utility Global

At Utility, we’re reimagining what’s possible.

Our breakthrough H₂Gen® technology transforms undesirable industrial by-products into clean energy and sustainable fuels and feed stocks, helping hard‑to‑abate industries decarbonize without compromise. We’re building systems and solutions that will power a zero‑carbon future by turning what the world doesn’t want into clean energy it needs most.

But technology alone doesn’t change the world.

People do.

We’re building a team as bold as our mission. Engineers and scientists, designers and operators, storytellers and strategists all united by a shared belief: that the undesirable can become invaluable, and that industrial decarbonization can be both practical and economical.

At Utility, we see possibilities where others see limits. We believe progress happens when diverse minds collaborate toward a cleaner, smarter, more resilient world.

If you’re ready to do the most meaningful work of your career, join us and help build what’s next.
