Carbon Capture Process Engineer

Location – Newark, CA (San Francisco Bay Area) preferred. Remote position for exceptional candidate

MTR has been developing an innovative membrane-based carbon capture process for more than a decade. We are now actively working to commercialize the technology and deploy our capture systems globally. The demand for
effective, affordable, large-scale capture solutions has never been higher. We need your help to grow our carbon capture technology into a successful business, and along the way, have an active role in helping to solve the climate crisis. In this position, you will evaluate prospective commercial applications and in doing so, will engage with senior level engineers, plant managers, and management at major corporations looking to reduce their carbon
emissions. You should be a confident, clear, and effective communicator with at least a general understanding of the carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) field, and be prepared to learn about CCUS technologies, market
trends and drivers.

Description
The Carbon Capture Process Engineer is primarily responsible for reviewing and assessing incoming inquires and developing budgetary quote estimates for our capture systems. You will be the primary point of contact for these inquires and will track, rank, and monitor the active leads and communicate their status to MTR staff and management. Other responsibilities include following the evolving and emerging CO2 capture landscape globally and to scout for opportunities. In performing this role, you will use process simulation software and will develop and scale process costs for typical applications including power plants and large industrial facilities (waste-to-energy, cement, refinery, etc.). This is a rapidly growing sector and we anticipate that this position will change and adapt accordingly. We are looking for a candidate who is passionate and motivated by our mission to deploy world-
class, large-scale carbon capture solutions.
