About us
Peltra Energy is a fast-growing sustainable biomass company working across biomass pellets, compressed biogas (CBG), and biochar for Indian and export markets. We’re building out our pellet manufacturing capability and are looking for a hands-on engineer to own the technical side of our plants — from machinery evaluation through to running lines on the ground. The role This is a core technical role for someone who has actually run pellet plants — not just studied them. You’ll be our in-house authority on pellet-plant machinery and process, guiding decisions from equipment selection all the way to commissioning and optimisation. What you’ll do
• Evaluate pellet-plant machinery and complete lines — assess specifications, build quality, output, energy consumption and suitability for Indian feedstock and conditions
• Lead plant design and layout — line sizing, material flow, utilities and balance-of-plant
• Oversee erection, installation and commissioning of pelletizing lines on site
• Optimise process parameters to hit GCV, moisture, ash, durability and throughput targets
• Troubleshoot mechanical and process issues — dies, rollers, hammer mills, dryers, coolers, conveying
• Advise on feedstock handling, drying and quality control
• Work with suppliers and fabricators on sourcing, spares and maintenance planning Who we’re looking for (please read before applying)
• Direct,
hands-on experience with biomass pellet or briquette plants — erection, commissioning and/or operations & maintenance
• Robust working knowledge of ring-die / flat-die pelletizers, hammer mills, dryers and coolers
• Understanding of biomass fuel quality parameters (GCV, moisture, ash, bulk density, durability) and how process settings affect them
• Degree/diploma in Mechanical, Chemical, Energy or related engineering
• Comfortable being on-site in India and travelling to plant locations as needed
• Problem-solver who can work independently and take ownership Nice to have
• Experience across multiple pellet plant capacities (e.g. 1–5 TPH)
• Exposure to agro-residue feedstocks and seasonal supply handling
• Familiarity with Indian biomass regulations and schemes Why Peltra You’ll have real ownership, direct access to the founders, and the chance to shape a pellet manufacturing operation from the ground up as we scale.
