À propos
We’re a small and growing team of scientists, engineers, and strategic thinkers who care deeply about impact and believe in getting there with good humour and urgency. Our SaaS products help heavy industry optimise operations in real time, cutting costs and carbon today while building the foundation for the next industrial revolution.
About the Role We’re seeking a
Solutions Engineer – Process Control
to join our Product and Solutions Engineering team and sit on the frontline of industry decarbonisation.
This role blends
industrial process expertise, control engineering, and deployment leadership . You’ll work directly with process engineers and plant operators to understand complex chemical processes, design the best AI control strategies, and integrate Carbon Re’s AI into live production environments, ensuring that our technology aligns with operational realities and delivers measurable value.
Think of it as
the process engineer’s trusted partner
— technical, pragmatic, and collaborative. You’ll lead deployments, translate AI outputs into actionable control strategies, and help shape Carbon Re’s approach to scaling advanced process optimisation across global industrial sites.
Your Main Responsibilities
Deploy & integrate Carbon Re AI
into live cement and industrial plants, ensuring stable, safe, and effective operation within existing process control frameworks.
Collaborate with plant and process teams
to identify optimisation opportunities, tune control loops, and validate performance improvements.
Analyse plant data
to assess and identify opportunities, and evaluate the performance of Carbon Re’s software.
Develop and refine control strategies , leveraging APC, MPC, and PID principles to bridge AI recommendations with practical plant control systems.
Build trust and engagement
with process engineers and operators by clearly explaining technical decisions and demonstrating measurable benefits.
Collaborate with machine learning engineers
to refine algorithms and recommendations based on real‑world outcomes.
Support deployment playbooks and templates , ensuring repeatable, scalable, and high‑quality rollouts across plants.
Act as a feedback link
to Carbon Re’s product and machine learning teams, providing field insights that shape our product roadmap and model development.
Travel to sites (~1 week/month)
to work hands‑on with teams during commissioning, testing, and optimisation phases.
What a Great Fit Looks Like
Strong background in
process or control engineering , ideally in cement, chemicals, energy, or heavy manufacturing.
Experience with
advanced process control (APC/MPC/PID)
systems and process optimisation projects.
Familiarity with
industrial automation systems
(e.g., DCS, PLC, OPC, historian systems).
Understanding of
AI/ML applications in process control
(forecasting, optimisation, anomaly detection) is a plus.
Comfortable collaborating with
operators, engineers, and data scientists
— bridging industrial know‑how with data‑driven insights.
Analytical and hands‑on mindset: capable of diagnosing process instabilities and proposing actionable solutions.
Excellent communication skills — able to build credibility and trust in complex industrial environments.
Willingness to travel regularly to deployment sites (~25%).
You’ll Excel If
You’re a
practical problem‑solver
who enjoys working on real‑world process challenges.
You’ve
implemented or tuned control systems
and understand how to balance process stability, quality, and energy efficiency.
You’re confident working across
technical, operational, and business interfaces , turning complex problems into structured solutions.
You thrive in
dynamic, high‑impact environments , where every deployment directly contributes to decarbonisation.
You can translate between
AI outputs and process logic , ensuring plant teams understand and trust automation strategies.
Success in This Role Means
Plants achieve measurable performance improvements —
lower costs, reduced CO₂, improved stability.
Customer process engineers trust you
as a reliable partner who understands their world.
Deployments become more
repeatable, efficient, and scalable
thanks to your control and process insights.
Carbon Re’s solutions evolve from
AI algorithms
into
robust, operator‑friendly process control systems.
