As Senior CCS Project Engineer, you will support the technical development and implementation of the CCS track within the GO4ZERO project.

You will play a key role in:

• Defining technical requirements

• Assessing implementation scenarios

• Coordinating with multi-disciplinary engineering teams

• Ensuring proper integration of CCS equipment and infrastructure

You will work closely with internal experts, external partners, and international stakeholders. This role reports to the CCS Project Manager.

Key Responsibilities

• Equipment & Testing: Define and plan required equipment for oxyfuel testing, including equipment listing, technical specifications, and needs coordination.

• Scenario Planning: Develop and assess technical implementation scenarios for 2029 equipment horizon.

• Technical Analysis: Analyze constraints including soil conditions, utilities, steel structures, foundations, and infrastructure requirements.

• Project Estimation: Compile technical data, assess feasibility requirements, and support cost estimation across various project scenarios.

• System Integration: Collaborate on the design and integration of the Carbon Processing Unit (CPU).

• Cross-Functional Coordination: Work closely with mechanical, process, instrumentation, environmental, and corporate engineering teams.

• Engineering Oversight: Oversee technical topics related to piping design, environmental permitting, water treatment stations, and instrumentation specs.

• Domain Expertise: Provide expert input on oxy-combustion processes, CCS technologies, and water treatment systems.

• Stakeholder Management: Act as the primary technical interface with international suppliers, engineering partners, and external stakeholders.

• Financial & Risk Support: Assist with budget estimation, CAPEX planning, and technical risk assessments.

Profile & Qualifications

• Education: Engineering degree in Process, Mechanical, Chemical, Thermal Engineering, or equivalent.

• Experience: Proven track record in complex industrial projects, ideally within energy, cement, chemical, infrastructure, or decarbonisation sectors.

• Technical Expertise: Strong understanding of carbon capture technologies, oxy-combustion, and related industrial processes.

• Execution Skills: Hands-on experience with technical analysis, equipment specifications, vendor management, and cross-functional team leadership.

• Mindset: Ability to challenge technical constraints while maintaining a practical, project-driven mindset.

• Financial Acumen: Practical exposure to budget estimation and CAPEX planning.

• Languages: Strong communication skills in French and technical English.

• Environment: Comfortable operating in an international, multi-stakeholder setting.

What We Offer

• High-Impact Project: Direct contribution to one of the most ambitious decarbonisation initiatives in the European cement industry.

• Pioneering Technology: Work alongside top-tier technology partners to build a cutting-edge CCS value chain.

• Flexible Working Models: Open to Employee (CDI) or Consultant/Freelance setups, offering a competitive package tailored to your status.

• Inclusive Culture: Holcim Belgium values diversity, inclusion, and equal opportunity, offering a respectful working environment where everyone can thrive.
