Jobbeschreibung

As a LCA Consultant - Forward Deployed Engineer, you sit at the frontier of product-level carbon intelligence, and you're the person who makes it real. Life Cycle Assessment is the methodological backbone of how enterprises understand the true environmental cost of what they make, source, and sell; carbmee EIS is the platform bringing that to industrial scale, and you'll be the one deploying it.

You'll work directly with sustainability leads, R&D engineers, and procurement teams at some of the world's most complex industrial enterprises: moving them off slow, spreadsheet-based LCA and onto granular, AI-powered product carbon footprints. This is deep methodological expertise applied live, in front of the customer, with a product team that ships based on what you find in the field.

Your tasks

• Lead end-to-end LCA engagements for enterprise customers - from project scoping and data collection strategies through to final results, interpretation, and reduction roadmap.
• Deploy and configure carbmee EIS to automate and scale LCA workflows, including product carbon footprint (PCF) calculations, Scope 3 supply chain data collection, and activity-based modelling.
• Engage directly with customer sustainability, R&D, and procurement teams to understand their product portfolios, data landscapes, and reporting requirements, and design the right LCA approach for their context.
• Support customers in building compliance-ready product footprints for CBAM, CSRD, ISO 14067, and EU Battery Regulation requirements.
• Translate LCA results into clear, executive-ready narratives and actionable decarbonization recommendations that drive real business decisions.
• Troubleshoot methodological challenges on the fly - allocation decisions, data gaps, system boundary questions - and resolve them pragmatically.
• Feed LCA methodology learnings back to carbmee's product team, ensuring the EIS platform stays at the cutting edge of carbon accounting best practice.

Customer Value

• Accelerate customers' shift from manual, project-by-project LCA to automated, scalable product carbon footprinting - reducing calculation time by orders of magnitude.
• Enable regulatory compliance by building footprints that meet CBAM, CSRD, and other EU requirements - protecting customers from regulatory and commercial risk.
• Translate complex lifecycle science into clear reduction priorities, helping customers make informed investment decisions in sustainable sourcing, R&D, and process improvement.
• Build deep methodological credibility with customer sustainability and engineering teams, positioning carbmee as their long-term partner for product decarbonization.
• You are the expert that turns carbmee's platform into a genuine competitive advantage for your customers.

Your profile

• Solid grounding in LCA methodology - ISO 14040/14044, GHG Protocol Product Standard, Product Environmental Footprint (PEF), or similar.
• Hands-on experience with LCA databases and tools such as ecoinvent, SimaPro, GaBi, or OpenLCA.
• We hire across all levels - from recent MSc graduates with strong academic LCA foundations to senior practitioners with years of consulting or industry experience.
• Understanding of EU sustainability regulation - CSRD, CBAM, EU Battery Regulation, or ISO 14067 - is a strong plus.
• Ability to translate technical and scientific complexity into clear, compelling communication for non-specialist audiences.
• Comfort operating in a fast-moving software environment and genuine enthusiasm for how AI can transform traditional sustainability work.
• Degree in Environmental Engineering, Industrial Ecology, Chemical Engineering, Sustainability Science, or a related field.
• Fluency English and German
• Passion for sustainability - excited to help the world's largest companies get serious about their product emissions.
• Based in Munich
