Description du poste

We are CBAM Estimator, a young SaaS company based in Stuttgart. Our mission is to help companies meet the requirements of the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) accurately, efficiently and at scale.

We build modern web platforms that help international manufacturing and trading companies calculate emissions, manage CBAM-related data and prepare the documentation required for CBAM compliance.

We are an international team with diverse backgrounds spanning emissions accounting, environmental science, IT, mathematics and business. We share a commitment to making complex regulatory requirements manageable through a pragmatic and transparent approach.

To support our work with manufacturers in China, we are looking for an Environmental Engineer / Carbon Specialist based in China who combines technical expertise in environmental matters with strong communication skills.

You will work directly with Chinese manufacturers, helping them understand CBAM data requirements, collect the necessary emissions and production data, and prepare supporting documentation. You will also act as a bridge between local manufacturers and our international team.

You do not need to be a CBAM expert from day one. A strong technical background in environmental engineering, carbon accounting, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions or a related field is more important. We will help you develop the necessary CBAM expertise.

Tasks

• Support Chinese manufacturers in collecting and organising emissions and production data
• Help manufacturers understand the technical and data requirements relevant to CBAM
• Review GHG emissions, energy and production data to identify missing or inconsistent information
• Support the calculation and documentation of embedded emissions of goods using relevant installation and production process data in accordance with CBAM requirements
• Conduct workshops and training sessions for manufacturers
• Help manufacturers prepare emissions data and supporting documentation for independent third-party verification
• Support manufacturers in addressing questions and closing data gaps during reporting and verification
• Work closely with our emissions and product teams in Europe
• Gather feedback from manufacturers to help us continuously improve our processes, methodology and software

Requirements

• A degree in environmental engineering, environmental science or a comparable technical field
• Practical experience working with environmental, energy, emissions or sustainability-related data
• A good understanding of industrial processes and confidence working with technical teams
• Excellent written and spoken Mandarin
• Very good written and spoken English
• Confidence working with data, spreadsheets, calculations and technical documentation
• The ability to explain complex technical topics clearly to customers
• An independent, structured and reliable approach to work

• Experience with GHG accounting or corporate or product carbon footprints
• Knowledge of ISO 14064 and/or ISO 14067
• Experience with emissions auditing, verification, monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV), or environmental audits
• Experience delivering workshops or technical training
• Knowledge of CBAM and/or the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS)
• Experience with industrial processes in the iron and steel, aluminium, cement or fertiliser sectors, or other energy-intensive industries
• Experience working with international or European customers
• Experience with life cycle assessment (LCA) or product carbon footprint calculations

Benefits

• A remote-first working environment for a role based in China
• Practical experience working directly with industrial manufacturers and international customers
• The opportunity to develop deep expertise in CBAM, carbon accounting and industrial emissions
• Close collaboration with our emissions experts and product team
• Structured onboarding to help you develop CBAM expertise from day one
• Responsibility from an early stage and the opportunity to shape how we support manufacturers in China
• An international team working at the intersection of climate regulation, industry and technology
• A lean working environment with minimal bureaucracy, where your work has a direct impact
