Climate Industrial Process Engineer
About Neutreeno
We built Neutreeno to transform business at speed and scale by revolutionising decarbonisation. Our innovative software, backed by cutting-edge science from the University of Cambridge, transforms how companies understand and reduce their emissions. By leveraging decades of research in resource and emissions flow data mapping, we identify the most impactful areas for emissions reduction, enabling companies to make strategic, data-driven decisions.
Working alongside leading sustainability scientists from the IPCC and IEA who shape international climate policy, we're creating a new paradigm in decarbonization technology. Our approach has already been adopted by the world's largest companies. With our recent $5M seed round led by US investors specializing in sustainability and circularity, and coverage in ESGPost, YahooFinance, BusinessWeekly, and a nomination for the Earthshot Award, we're ready to grow.
The Role
As a Climate Industrial Process Engineer specialising in emissions reduction, you’ll be a pioneering architect of industrial decarbonization. In this role, you'll leverage your expertise in energy efficiency and process engineering to construct the world's most comprehensive database of industrial processes and their emissions reduction potential. Working across diverse and critical sectors—from jet engine production to electricity transmission grids and EV battery manufacturing—you'll be at the cutting edge of technological innovation and sustainability. By combining advanced process engineering, data science, and strategic thinking, you'll develop scalable solutions that dramatically reduce carbon footprints, driving real-world decarbonization efforts that have the potential to reshape global industrial systems and combat climate change.
Key Responsibilities
Leverage your energy audit experience and available literature to integrate practical efficiency measures and industry best practices into our decarbonisation engine
Collaborate with data scientists to integrate industry knowledge into our digital platform, enhancing our predictive capabilities for emissions reduction potential across the most relevant industrial supply chains
Expand, improve and maintain our existing industrial processes library across various sectors through desktop-research and real-world industrial data
Support the development of our techno-economic model, led by the Decarbonisation Model Engineer, to integrate decarbonisation costing into the levers presented to our clients considering technical feasibility and cost-effectiveness
Integrate sector-wide material efficiency opportunities from our academic background in material efficiency and your professional experience in energy efficiency into the suite of levers we present to our clients
Stay at the forefront of emerging low-carbon technologies and industry trends, continuously updating our knowledge base
Represent Neutreeno at industry conferences and events, showcasing our innovative approaches to emissions reduction
