Fortera is transforming one of the world’s largest industries by reinventing how cement is made. Headquartered in Silicon Valley, Fortera has developed next-generation cement technology that delivers high performance while reducing CO₂ emissions by up to ~70%. By mineralizing CO₂ and turning it into a productive feedstock, Fortera converts emissions into a valuable building material, creating a more sustainable path for modern construction.
With our commercial ReCarb® plant operating in Redding, California, and a growing global project pipeline, Fortera is moving from first-of-a-kind deployment to scaled commercialization. Our technology is already being used in real-world infrastructure applications, bringing next-generation cement into use today while expanding toward broader adoption.
At Fortera, you’ll work alongside scientists, engineers, operators, and industry experts who are turning cutting-edge materials science into real-world impact. We’re looking for curious thinkers, builders, and problem-solvers who want to help tackle one of the biggest challenges facing our planet.
This is more than a job. It’s an opportunity to help shape the future of sustainable construction.

POSITION OVERVIEW:
The Capital Projects Team develops, coordinates, and directs the design and construction of processing plants utilizing Fortera's proprietary technologies, typically located at existing cement or lime facilities. We internally drive projects to successful completion while engaging engineering, purchasing and sourcing equipment, and construction partners to execute large-scale industrial facilities.
We are currently looking for a Project Manager to join our team. Reporting to the Director, Project Delivery, this role leads the day-to-day delivery of an assigned capital project from definition and authorization through engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning, startup support, and operational handover.
The Project Manager owns execution of the approved project plan, aligning scope, budget, schedule, safety, quality, risk, and performance across internal functions and external delivery partners. The role sets project priorities, drives decisions, resolves cross-functional issues, and ensures accountable actions are closed before they affect delivery.
Working across Engineering, Procurement, Project Services, Construction, Completions, Commissioning, Operations, Finance, Legal, vendors, contractors, and site stakeholders, the successful candidate will combine decisive leadership with disciplined execution and strong commercial judgment.
The role is expected to use digital tools, automation, and AI-enabled analysis to improve project visibility, forecasting, risk identification, issue resolution, and decision support.
IS THIS HOW YOU LIKE TO WORK?
Do you want to turn ambitious ideas into reality as part of a team that designs, buys, builds, tests, and runs its own facilities?
Do you thrive in a fast-paced environment where priorities evolve, challenges change, and you are willing to adapt, step into gaps, solve problems, and do what is needed to help the team deliver?
Do you take ownership, contribute to decisions, act with urgency, and stay accountable through to the outcome?
Do you believe in building collective strength through collaboration, sharing knowledge, supporting others, and putting the success of the team ahead of individual boundaries?
Are you motivated to work at the forefront of innovation, push what is possible, bring ideas to life, and use technology, AI, and continuous improvement to deliver better performance and results?
If this sounds like you, we’d like to hear from you.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:
SUCCESS IN THE ROLE:
Success means the project delivers safely, predictably, and within authorized scope, cost, and schedule, with quality built into execution to ensure the facility performs as intended. AI and automation are embedded into execution to connect project data, challenge assumptions, predict constraints, identify quality and performance risks, test options, and focus action where it matters most. The result is faster decisions, fewer surprises, stronger capital efficiency, and a clean handover to Operations with systems that are complete, tested, and proven to perform.
