Carbon Engineer

Job Description

POSITION OBJECTIVE

• This position is responsible for supporting the development and implementation of FPC USA’s carbon governance and decarbonization strategy, with a primary focus on achieving a 10% reduction in carbon intensity by 2030 and establishing the technical foundation for carbon neutrality by 2050.
• The Carbon Engineer will apply engineering principles, process knowledge, and carbon accounting methodologies to quantify greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, identify and evaluate emission-reduction opportunities, and support the execution of carbon-reduction projects across FPC USA manufacturing operations. This role serves as a technical bridge between corporate sustainability strategy, site-level engineering teams, and external reporting frameworks.

MAJOR AREAS OF ACCOUNTABILITY

• Maintain and improve FPC USA’s corporate and site-level GHG inventory, including Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, and support Scope 3 screening and engagement activities as directed.
• Apply engineering analysis to identify, evaluate, and prioritize carbon-reduction opportunities related to energy efficiency, process optimization, fuel switching, electrification, and emerging low-carbon technologies.
• Support the development and tracking of carbon-intensity metrics, targets, and progress dashboards aligned with FPC USA’s 2030 and 2050 goals.
• Provide technical input to capital projects, process changes, and operational initiatives to ensure carbon impacts are quantified and considered in decision-making.
• Collaborate with site engineering, operations, maintenance, and EHS teams to implement and verify carbon-reduction projects.
• Support external sustainability reporting, customer inquiries, and third-party assessments related to carbon and climate performance.
• Monitor evolving regulatory, market, and voluntary carbon frameworks and assess implications for FPC USA.

QUALIFICATIONS

•  Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering (preferred), Environmental Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
• ≥5 years of experience in carbon management, energy management, process engineering, sustainability engineering, or a related technical role within manufacturing, chemicals, refining, or energy-intensive industries.
• Practical experience with GHG accounting, energy balance calculations, or process optimization is required.
• Working knowledge of GHG accounting methodologies (e.g., Scope 1 and 2 calculations, emission factors, carbon intensity metrics).
• Effective written and verbal communication skills to translate technical findings for non-technical audiences.
