The world needs to quickly phase out its dependence on fossil fuels in favor of more sustainable alternatives. This is the foundation of Sunpine's business. Sunpine is the world's largest producer of crude tall oil diesel, an important part of the more sustainable energy mix of the future.
Today we are in an intensive development phase where innovation, sustainable growth, high production efficiency and continued environmental leadership go hand in hand. We are now looking for a Technical Manager who will be mandated to lead and further develop our technical department.
As Technical Manager You are responsible for ensuring Sunpine's technical competence and continuous development within plant, process, product and raw material. You have full operational, budgetary and personnel responsibility for the technical department. You report to the CEO and are part of Sunpine's management team.
