# Job Description Summary
We are seeking an entry-level Chemical Engineer to join our team, focusing on project execution for new units, including dosing/sampling systems, water/wastewater treatment plants, and CEMS. You will also contribute to new technology introduction (NPI/NTI) initiatives, such as carbon capture and new WSC designs and site support activities. This role requires occasional site travel for inspections/commissioning and on-demand chemical analysis at our Birr, CH laboratory.

Job Description

Essential Functions/Responsibilities

• Safety & Culture: Prioritize safety and compliance while fostering a proactive, inclusive "one GEV" team environment.

• Design & Development: Execute engineering calculations and documentation. Support the design of water/steam cycle (WSC) systems—including Dosing, Sampling, CEMS, and WTP—balancing cost, performance, and reliability.

• AI & Innovation: Proactively leverage AI tools and digital solutions to drive process improvements, accelerate new technology development, and enhance overall work efficiency.

• Standardization: Apply lean engineering processes and contribute to component harmonization across the portfolio.

• Project Execution: Manage system requirements, drawings, and functional specifications. Ensure 100\% quality and on-time delivery for all project documentation.

• Site & Lab Support: Conduct on-site inspections/commissioning and perform lab-based chemical analyses, providing detailed reports for internal and external customers.

• Continuous Improvement: Proactively improve product performance, reliability, and safety through design initiatives.

• Collaboration: Support cross-functional teams (Commissioning, Sourcing, Projects) and engage in peer-to-peer mentoring.

• Reporting: Provide weekly KPI updates and proactively communicate technical risks to leadership.

Qualifications/Requirements

• Master’s degree in Chemical Engineering or Chemistry.

• Practical experience in a chemical laboratory environment.

• Foundational knowledge of Carbon Capture solutions.

• Fluent in English.

Desired Characteristics

• Self-motivated: Ability to develop, document, and execute engineering assignments with limited supervision.

• Academic or project-based exposure to power plant water/steam cycle (WSC) chemistry is a plus.

• Proficiency in drafting software (Visio, Comos, or Aveva) is a plus.

• Ability to work effectively within a global, cross-functional engineering team.

• Ability to manage multiple priorities and adapt quickly to business needs.

• Willingness to travel globally on short notice.

• Strong interpersonal, influencing, and communication skills.
