Background

Delorean Corporation (ASX:DEL) is an Australian renewable energy company developing, constructing and operating large-scale anaerobic digestion and bioenergy facilities across Australia.

As our portfolio of operating and developing assets grows, we are looking for an AD Plant Manager to take ownership of the day-to-day operational performance of one of our anaerobic digestion facilities and provide strong leadership to an experienced site team.

This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who is highly organised, commercially aware and confident managing clients, contractors and operational priorities in a complex industrial environment.

The Opportunity
