SAF

Sustainable Aviation Fuels Drive Green Jobs and Innovation

Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is emerging as a promising alternative to conventional jet fuel, offering significant potential to reduce the aviation industry's carbon footprint. This expansion is expected to create an increase in aviation fuel jobs and opportunities across various sectors. These positions span various occupations, from research and development to SAF production, logistics, and regulatory compliance.

As the industry expands, there will be a growing need for workers with technical expertise in biochemistry, chemical engineering, and environmental science and professionals skilled in project management and sustainability practices. 

Orion Group has instant access to a growing number of these professionals, particularly those with life science and engineering backgrounds, who are perfect fits for the SAF industry. Whether you are looking for immediate starts or are looking towards the future, we can help you identify and target the team of your choice.

Discover the Key Roles We Recruit for Sustainable Aviation Fuels

At Orion, we come across a wide variety of roles and positions for Sustainable Aviation Fuels. Here is a list of the most common roles our clients are recruiting for:

Experienced SAF development managers are required to help the business grow further as a new sustainable option and a business looking to expand. They should be able to identify clients in the SAF sector and build, nurture, and maintain healthy relationships through strategic planning and sustainability initiatives. They should also lead and coordinate the preparation of proposals for technical assignments related to SAF projects, such as due diligence and technical advisory services. 

With our extensive network of global offices, Orion is well placed in identifying a large section of business development managers within our expanding database who would not just be suitable for these types of roles but would be exceptional.

The role of a data scientist in SAF is a mix of science and technology. Using various data modelling techniques, such as machine learning and data analysis, they apply these to the conversion process of sustainable fuel to identify trends and patterns, predict future outcomes, and optimise existing processes to make the fuel more efficient and, therefore, more sustainable.

Due to the many different technologies that can convert byproducts to SAF, such as FT and HEFA, data scientists are in demand. Orion has a track record of delivering high-quality science professionals to various sectors, so we have a wealth of talent to draw on, which we can tap when and where it's required.

Fuel Systems Engineers assess and manage aircraft fuel systems, emphasising the integration of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). They assist in sustainability projects, analyse SAF compatibility with existing systems and engines, and contribute to improvements, development, and phase reviews, including validation and verification activities for fuel systems.

Orion has established an outstanding reputation with some of the world’s largest established and startup blue-chip companies. As a global manpower provider across several key and new industry sectors, like SAF, we continue to deliver best-in-class recruitment services to our customers, enabling them to exceed their business goals and become a global leader in deploying SAF facilities.

A Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Operations Manager optimises the SAF value chain, overseeing procurement, storage, and distribution. They ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and sustainability standards while coordinating with fuel purchasers, suppliers, and stakeholders to maintain quality control and streamline the fuel supply chain.

Within the renewable energy sector, Orion has the experience, resources, and personnel to supply SAF projects with the technical, engineering, and managerial requirements across various permanent or contract types, supporting the industry's transition towards more sustainable practices.

SAF managers have never been more critical in implementing and managing sustainable aviation fuel and carbon optimisation strategies. This highly responsible and challenging role covers many areas, such as always ensuring compliance with industry standards and regulations, leading and collaborating with cross-functional teams as they implement solutions to reduce the company's carbon footprint, and working closely with suppliers and partners to secure reliable and cost-effective sources of sustainable aviation fuel. 

Finding these essential managers for your business is what Orion does - our professional delivery consultants, account managers and logistics coordinators manage thousands of interim and permanent managerial placements every year across all industries.
