SuperGround – Sustainable to the Bone

SuperGround is a Finnish industrial partner helping global food production companies make their operations instantly more efficient and sustainable.

We are transforming how fish and poultry are utilized in food production. Today, up to 70% of fish and a significant portion of poultry remains underutilized. Our patented, scalable food processing solution ensures that more of these valuable resources are fully utilized — reducing food waste, lowering emissions, and creating high-quality food products for a more sustainable future.

We are now entering a strong go-to-market phase, refining our industrial process and building our flagship production in new facilities. As we scale internationally, we are looking for a hands-on Tech Ops Manager to take a key role in our next growth phase.

Technical Operations Manager

The Role – Where Technology Meets Impact

This is not a pure R&D or traditional project management role. This is a high-impact, field-oriented position where you will start with:

• Own and drive the fine tuning of our flagship production

• Lead and manage sub-contractors and external specialists.

In the future you will also:

• Work closely with customers’ CTOs and production teams

• Own and drive the implementation of our production technology at customer sites

• Ensure our patented process is successfully integrated and optimized

• Build scalable service, maintenance, and spare parts models for new markets

• You will play a central role in scaling SuperGround’s technology across the Nordics — ensuring both technical excellence and commercial success.

• The position is partly remote, based in Helsinki, and you will report directly to the CEO.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and develop the production

• End-to-end ownership of technology performance and production

• Commission SuperGround machines and processes at customer facilities

• Train operators and optimize production parameters

• Ensure customers can fully commercialize our patented process

• Build and coordinate international service partner networks

What We’re Looking For

You likely have experience in:

• Food production, process equipment, or industrial maintenance

• Commissioning or scaling production technologies

• Extrusion technology (strong advantage)

• Working in a growth or scaling company environment

You are:

• Entrepreneurial and hands-on

• Comfortable working independently with customers

• A strong communicator who builds trust with technical stakeholders

• Solution-oriented and business-minded

• Curious and motivated to continuously develop yourself

• You are willing to travel (mainly Nordics) and are fluent in English.

• A degree in Food Technology, Process Engineering, or similar is a plus.

Typical Background

You may currently work as a:

Commissioning Engineer, Maintenance Lead, Technical Customer Success Manager, Production Engineer, Process Lead

What’s In It for You?

This is a rare opportunity to:

• Join a mission-driven Finnish company reducing food waste globally

• Take a key leadership role in scaling a patented industrial technology

• Work directly with international food industry leaders

• Grow with the company – with a clear path toward a future CTO role
