About Divert
Divert is a circular economy company on a mission to prevent food from being wasted through nationwide infrastructure and innovative technologies. Founded in 2007, the company provides an end-to-end solution that leverages data to prevent waste, facilitates edible food recovery, and transforms unsold food into renewable energy to power communities.

What You'll Do

Serve as the enterprise owner for the performance of Divert's biogas and renewable natural gas (RNG) assets across all operating facilities. This role is responsible for maximizing asset availability, methane recovery, gas quality, safety, and lifecycle value by partnering with Operations, Maintenance, Engineering, and external technology partners. Rather than serving as a design engineer, this position provides strategic technical leadership, drives continuous improvement, establishes enterprise standards, and ensures Divert's gas assets consistently achieve best-in-class performance.

Location & Travel: This is a remote role; candidates should be located near a major airport. Travel of approximately 25–50% is expected to support operating facilities, major maintenance events, commissioning activities, vendor engagements, and support for facility startups.

Responsibilities

• Serve as Divert's senior subject matter expert for gas systems, providing technical leadership during complex operational issues, startup activities, equipment failures, process upsets, and major maintenance events.
• Own the enterprise strategy for gas handling and RNG assets, including gas collection, compression, upgrading, CO2 removal, gas quality, pipeline injection, flares, analyzers, and associated utility systems.
• Partner closely with Operations and Maintenance to improve RNG performance by developing enterprise standards for operation, maintenance, commissioning, critical spare parts, preventive maintenance, operating procedures, and asset documentation.
• Establish and track performance metrics and benchmarks across all operating facilities, identifying trends and sharing best practices throughout the organization.
• Develop the long-term roadmap for gas asset performance, including lifecycle planning, equipment standardization, technology selection, and capital improvement recommendations.
• Lead root cause investigations for major production losses and equipment failures, coordinating internal teams and external partners to implement permanent corrective actions and hold vendors accountable for performance, warranty, and service quality.
• Direct outside engineering resources supporting operating facilities, ensuring work is properly scoped, technically sound, and aligned with Divert's enterprise standards.
• Evaluate emerging technologies and industry best practices, recommending investments that improve asset performance, reduce lifecycle costs, and enhance operational flexibility.
• Support new facilities and major capital projects by reviewing equipment selections and designs for operability, maintainability, standardization, and incorporation of lessons learned from existing operating facilities.

Success in This Role

• Improve methane recovery, gas quality, and overall system performance across Divert's operating facilities.
• Establish enterprise standards that improve consistency, reduce operating costs, and simplify operation and maintenance.
• Build trusted partnerships with Operations, Maintenance, Engineering, and equipment suppliers to proactively solve problems before they impact production.
• Develop a long-term roadmap for gas asset performance, balancing operational improvements with strategic capital investments.
• Create a network of OEMs, consultants, and industry experts that accelerates problem solving and brings best practices into Divert.
• Ensure lessons learned at one facility are standard practice across all facilities.

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering or related engineering discipline.
• 10+ years of experience supporting, operating, maintaining, optimizing, or commissioning industrial gas handling, RNG, biogas, or comparable process facilities.
• Demonstrated success improving operational performance across multiple facilities.
• Experience influencing cross-functional organizations without direct authority.
• Experience managing OEMs, engineering consultants, specialty contractors, and technology vendors.
• Strong understanding of industrial asset management, root cause analysis, continuous improvement, and lifecycle planning.
• Excellent communication, organizational, and business acumen with the ability to translate technical issues into operational and capital priorities.

What Will Set You Apart

• Direct experience with anaerobic digestion, biogas upgrading, RNG production, and pipeline injection.
• Experience developing enterprise standards across multiple operating facilities.
• Demonstrated ability to lead performance improvement initiatives that deliver measurable gains in uptime, methane recovery, operating cost, or equipment life.
• Experience working in a high-growth organization requiring strong collaboration across Operations, Engineering, Maintenance, and Capital Projects.

What’s in it for you?

• Compensation Range: $140,000 - $180,000 / year + annual bonus eligible
• Health, Vision and Dental Benefits (effective the first of the month following your date of hire!)
• Life Insurance
• Safe harbor 401(k) plan
• Paid Time Off
• Opportunities for Advancement with a Rapidly Growing, Mission-Driven Organization
