SUMMARY OF THE JOB

Holcim announced in September the Net Zero Pledge, i.e. meet the 1.5°C target in alignment with SBTi. CO2 Capture is an important leg of this journey. We must further develop various Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) technologies with the objective of having economically viable solutions at industrial scale. CCUS plays an important role with more than 50 projects being worked on currently and still increasing. Holcim is not focusing on a single technology and solution; the scope is broad with collaboration between local, regional and corporate level. To develop and manage CCUS projects and give best support to the countries in integrating new technologies & concepts in the cement manufacturing environment, technical activities need to be coordinated amongst various players.

MAIN ACTIVITIES / RESPONSIBILITIES

• Evaluating and/or developing promising CCUS concepts and appropriate CO2 capturing technologies in cement plants, together with the corporate CC function and country organizations.
• Participating in the full process design starting from early project stages supporting feasibility, pre-FEED, FEED and EPC to position CO2 capture technologies and solutions.
• Proposing, in the field of process engineering, safe, innovative, and optimized solutions allowing to reduce CAPEX/Opex costs (e.g., investment, electricity, environmental impact, CO2, other operating costs).
• Identifying and managing process interfaces with existing facilities i.e., pyro system and plant infrastructure (flue gas treatment, industrial waste water treatment, CO2 transportation etc.).
• Executing process engineering on projects: Issuing flow sheet definition, heat/mass balance, specific consumptions, sizing of all equipment, process narrative, emission predictions, functional analysis, permit requirements etc.
• Coaching and empowering project teams in the countries and regions in order to drive CCUS projects and studies.

PROFILE REQUIRED

Level of education/qualifications normally required:

• Bachelor or Master’s degree, in chemical process engineering in the chemical or petrochemical heavy industry.

Specific work experience:

• Minimum 5 years of experience in carbon capture projects.

• Open to extend activity scope. Open minded for innovation and for change.
• Strong listening, communication, and negotiation skills.
• Ability to interact with different levels in the organization and with people abroad.
