At Voyager Technologies, we’re building technologies that protect lives, expand frontiers and prepare us for what’s next. And we’re doing that with people who are wired to solve, build, adapt and lead. These roles are not for the faint of heart. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">The <strong>Senior Plant Designer</strong> owns the physical design of Voyager’s new chemical manufacturing facilities across the lifecycle of planning, construction, commissioning, and sustaining. This is not a role where you hand off a drawing package and move on but rather one where you will develop designs alongside the chemical engineers defining the process, technicians building the process, and operators running the process. With multiple facilities for oxidizers, energetic materials, and energetic precursors planned in Colorado and Louisiana in the coming years, this is a long-term design ownership position rather than a single project assignment.</span></p>
