What is a pyrolysis?

A Pyrolysis job typically involves operating and maintaining equipment that heats organic materials in the absence of oxygen to produce biochar, syngas, and liquid fuels. Workers may monitor temperatures, feedstock quality, and emissions to ensure efficiency and compliance with safety standards. Roles can range from technicians and engineers to researchers developing new pyrolysis technologies. Understanding thermal decomposition and handling byproducts safely are key aspects of the job.

What are the common workplace challenges faced by pyrolysis technicians, and how are they addressed?

Pyrolysis Technicians often encounter challenges related to maintaining consistent process temperatures, handling hazardous materials, and responding quickly to equipment alarms or malfunctions. To address these, most facilities provide thorough training on safety protocols, emergency procedures, and troubleshooting common issues with pyrolizers and associated equipment. Teamwork is essential, as technicians routinely coordinate with engineers, maintenance staff, and quality control personnel to keep operations smooth. Open communication, strict adherence to safety guidelines, and ongoing learning are key factors in overcoming these workplace challenges while ensuring productivity and safety.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the pyrolysis position, and why are they important?

To thrive in a Pyrolysis Technician role, you need a solid understanding of chemical processes, equipment operation, and safety standards, often supported by a background in chemistry, chemical engineering, or industrial operations. Familiarity with pyrolysis reactors, monitoring control systems (like PLCs), and safety certifications such as OSHA are typically required. Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and effective teamwork contribute to standout performance in this position. These abilities ensure safe, efficient, and high-quality operation of pyrolysis units within industrial and environmental contexts.

Job description

Job Description:

Established nearly two centuries ago, FM is a leading mutual insurance company whose capital, scientific research capability and engineering expertise are solely dedicated to property risk management and the resilience of its policyholder-owners. These owners, who share the belief that the majority of property loss is preventable, represent many of the world’s largest organizations, including one of every four Fortune 500 companies. They work with FM to better understand the hazards that can impact their business continuity to make cost-effective risk management decisions, combining property loss prevention with insurance protection.

FM is seeking a Senior Research Scientist to develop new scientific knowledge, technologies, and engineering solutions to challenges in material flammability, fire dynamics, and fire protection, which can be used and applied by FM to help prevent or control property loss for insured clients.

Responsibilities

  • Lead internally funded research projects in flammability, combustion, fire propagation, extinguishment, heat and smoke generation, heat transfer, and related areas.
  • Conduct experimental and theoretical research to understand fire behavior over a range of scales.
  • Closely collaborate with fire modeling scientists to develop and validate sub-models related to pyrolysis, heat transfer, and fire dynamics.
  • Interpret and analyze experimental data and prepare high‑quality technical documentation.
  • Communicate test methods, results, and engineering recommendations to internal and external stakeholders, including collaborators, clients, and industry partners.
  • Manage all aspects of project management, including proposals, planning, execution, reporting, and engineering application.
Qualifications:
  • PhD in Mechanical, Chemical Engineering, Fire Protection Engineering, or a closely related field.
  • Strong fundamental background in combustion, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, and applied mathematics.
  • Research experience in experimental and analytical methods in thermal fluids, material flammability, heat transfer, and combustion/fire, along with an understanding of associated numerical methods.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills and a demonstrated ability to develop effective solutions to complex technical challenges.
  • Strong interpersonal and teamwork skills, with the ability to productively collaborate in an interdisciplinary research environment.

The final salary offer will vary based on geographic location, individual education, skills, and experience. The position is eligible to participate in FM's comprehensive Total Rewards program that includes an incentive plan, generous health and well-being programs, a 401(k) and pension plan, career development opportunities, tuition reimbursement, flexible work, time off allowances and much more.

FM is an Equal Opportunity Employer and is committed to attracting, developing, and retaining a diverse workforce.
