Job description

CARBON ENGINEER

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.

OTHER REQUIREMENTS

  • Requirement to travel means you must have a valid driver’s license and should be prepared to drive a motor vehicle and to fly with an overnight stay required. Travel: 20%
  • Training or familiarity with carbon reporting standards (e.g., GHG Protocol, ISO 14064, or similar) is desirable.
  • Must have regular, reliable attendance as well as the ability to work outside the regular schedule as required.
  • Please note this role can be based at or NJ or TX facilities
