Office Manager

We are Velocys. A leading technology company driving decarbonisation solutions for heavy transport on the roads and in the air. Privately owned by climate funds such as GenZero, LightRock, Carbon Direct and Ahren Innovation Capital, we play a crucial part in the global Energy Transition.

Our patented catalyst and micro-channel reactor platform provide a scalable, flexible solution enabling the production of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and Renewable Diesel (RD) from a broad range of renewable, sustainable carbon and hydrogen sources, including municipal solid waste,- woody biomass, biogas, and green hydrogen.

Our performance at commercial scale has been demonstrated. Our competitive advantage comes not only from our patented technology, but also from two decades of operational and engineering experience. Together, with a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities of developing synthetic fuels production capacity, the value we provide to our clients is compelling.

We are a transatlantic company with a strong presence in the UK, where our global HQ sits, and the US where we have two sites; an Engineering and Commercial centre in Houston, Texas and a Technology and Manufacturing facility in Columbus, Ohio. Our 50-strong team of subject matter experts in Engineering, Manufacturing and Finance (to name a few), have one common goal: directing the future of aviation in a more sustainable trajectory, with a view to decarbonise all heavy transport modes globally.
