What You'll Do
Lead end-to-end process development for Direct Air Capture (DAC) systems, from conceptual design through detailed engineering. Develop Heat and Material Balances (H&MB) and Process Flow Diagrams (PFDs) to establish foundational process requirements. Create and refine Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&ID), integrating robust control strategies and compliance with safety standards such as HAZOP and LOPA.
Conduct advanced process simulations using tools like Aspen Plus and HYSYS to improve energy performance—a key factor in the scalability of carbon removal technologies. Guide the selection of critical components including contactors, regeneration units, and thermal management systems. Evaluate risks related to solvent or sorbent degradation and environmental influences on capture efficiency, ensuring long-term reliability and performance.
Requirements
- Minimum of 10 years of engineering experience, with substantial focus on process design in energy, chemicals, or gas processing sectors
- Degree in Chemical Engineering, Process Engineering, or a closely related field at the bachelor’s, master’s, or doctoral level
- Professional Engineer (P.Eng or ing.) designation from a Canadian engineering association
- Proven expertise in process simulation platforms such as Aspen Plus, HYSYS, or PRO/II
- Proficiency in English is required for all stages of communication and documentation
Benefits
- Hybrid work arrangement with office locations in Montréal and Calgary, and flexibility for remote work within Canada
- Engage in pioneering Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) and Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) initiatives
- Contribute to scalable decarbonization solutions aimed at gigatonne-level impact
- Work in an inclusive, diverse environment committed to sustainability and innovation
- Occasional travel to project sites and partner offices is expected as part of the role
