“Be the catalyst that turns breakthrough science into global commercial reality.”

Samsara Eco exists for one reason: to repair our planet through infinite plastic recycling.

We are now entering the most defining phase of our journey — transitioning from breakthrough technology to global commercial deployment. This next chapter requires disciplined capital allocation, integrated operating design, and leadership that can translate technical innovation into enterprise-scale execution.

WHO WE ARE...

Samsara Eco is a climate technology innovator creating a truly circular solution for plastics and textiles. We are unlocking the ability to recycle materials infinitely — enabling brands to decouple growth from fossil fuel dependency.

Having successfully proven our science and piloting capability, we are now deploying our First Commercial Facility and building the blueprint for global replication.

This is not just an engineering challenge.

It is an enterprise scaling challenge.

ROLE PURPOSE...

The Owner’s Engineer – Mechanical represents Samsara’s technical and commercial interests in the mechanical design, procurement, construction, commissioning, and long‑term reliability of our first‑of‑a‑kind (FOAK) process plant.

The role provides independent mechanical engineering leadership to ensure that:

- Mechanical equipment and systems are designed, specified, and installed to support process technology and operational requirements.
- The facility meets production, safety, operability, maintainability, environmental, and commercial objectives.
- Mechanical design decisions are robust, defensible, and aligned with Samsara’s long‑term operating strategy.




- Mechanical integrity and reliability risks are identified, quantified, and managed across all project phases.
- Equipment and mechanical systems are fit‑for‑purpose, secure to operate, and capable of achieving guaranteed performance and availability targets.
- Mechanical knowledge is transferred effectively to long‑term Operations and Maintenance teams.

This position acts as the independent technical authority for the Owner and serves as the critical bridge between our:

- EPC/MPC Contractor
- Operations Process Engineering and Maintenance Teams.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES...

Team Leadership & Technical Guidance

- Work closely with the In-House Technology Team and Process Engineering team to ensure mechanical design supports the intended process operating envelope and technology requirements.
- Provide technical oversight across FEED, detailed engineering, vendor packages, equipment selection, and commissioning.
- Review key mechanical deliverables including equipment specifications, pressure vessels, rotating equipment designs, mechanical layouts, materials of construction, piping class specifications and installations.
- Ensure alignment between process requirements, mechanical design limits, and operational reliability.

Mechanical Integrity & Risk Management





- Identify and mitigate mechanical integrity and reliability risks during design and construction.
- Ensure equipment is designed for safe operation, materials compatibility, long-term reliability, and maintainability.
- Support mechanical inputs to process safety reviews (HAZID, HAZOP, LOPA, SIL) and equipment protection strategies.
- Provide technical review of vendor proposals and equipment selections.
- Support procurement activities including technical bid evaluations, vendor clarifications, FATs, and inspection activities.
- Ensure equipment complies with project specifications, engineering codes, and operational requirements.

Construction, Commissioning & Performance Validation

- Provide mechanical oversight during equipment installation and construction activities.
- Support resolution of mechanical issues during construction and pre-commissioning.
- Review and approve mechanical commissioning procedures.
- Validate readiness of critical mechanical systems prior to startup.
- Support troubleshooting of mechanical systems during commissioning and early plant operations.
- Confirm that mechanical systems support plant performance targets including equipment availability, reliability, mechanical integrity and maintainability.

Knowledge Transfer & Operational Readiness

- Develop and implement a structured Mechanical Knowledge Transfer Plan.
- Support knowledge transfer to Operations and Maintenance teams on equipment design, operating limits, and maintenance requirements.
- Contribute to development of operating manuals, maintenance strategies, troubleshooting guides, and spare parts planning.
- Ensure Operations and Maintenance teams un
