Director of Origination

Kanin Energy is a clean energy developer that helps heavy industry decarbonize their operations by converting waste heat into carbon-free electricity.

About the role

We are seeking talented professionals to join our team and contribute to first-of-its-kind waste heat-to-power (WHP) projects across North America. These initiatives provide cheap, stable, and clean electricity to industrial facilities while reducing emissions and increasing competitiveness.

Responsibilities

• Develop and execute waste heat-to-power (WHP) projects from concept through commissioning.
• Collaborate with industrial partners in sectors such as natural gas, cement, metals, refineries, chemicals, hydrogen, and glass to identify and implement WHP opportunities.
• Design and optimize Steam Rankine Cycle systems for industrial decarbonization, including boilers, turbines, condensers, and feed-pumps.
• Secure project financing, including credit facilities and public/private investment opportunities.
• Work with government and regulatory bodies to advance emissions reduction initiatives and project funding.
• Analyze and leverage data to improve WHP system efficiency and scalability.
• Support the development of carbon capture, heat pumps, and other complementary decarbonization technologies.

Requirements

• Experience in clean energy project development, industrial decarbonization, or related fields.
• Knowledge of thermodynamic cycles, particularly Steam Rankine Cycle systems.
• Familiarity with heavy industry sectors (e.g., natural gas, cement, metals, refineries, chemicals).
• Ability to work collaboratively with cross-functional teams and external partners.
• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills.
• Commitment to sustainability and reducing industrial emissions.

Benefits

• Opportunity to work on groundbreaking waste heat-to-power projects with significant environmental impact.
• Collaboration with industry leaders and government partners to advance decarbonization goals.
• Professional growth in a rapidly expanding clean energy sector.
