Process Engineer

Suppose you have the ambition to grow with a flexible and dynamic team of people who genuinely believe hydrogen and low-carbon fuels are important energy carriers/storage mediums to support the energy transition. In that case, DNV has a spot for you. Our Hydrogen talent is passionate about creating a safer and more sustainable world.

DNV Energy Systems is seeking a consultant– Process Engineer to join our Hydrogen and low-carbon fuels team. In this role, you will work with a group of process engineers, supporting other colleagues in identifying customizable solutions to clients’ challenges in their energy transition endeavors. Your contributions will help maintain DNV’s know-how around hydrogen as a fuel and feed to other processes. This know-how will readily respond to clients’ requests in a fast-paced environment.

DNV – Energy Systems – Hydrogen & Low Carbon Fuel aspires to become the preferred business partner to support customers in mitigating their risks by providing high-quality due diligence studies focusing on green hydrogen production and its integration to a supply chain or the production of derivatives such as ammonia, methanol or synthetic fuels. Among the challenges that a process engineer in the team will be facing are process modeling of several scales of a facility depending on the customer’s requirements and the preparation of Front-end Loading (FEL) documents from the identification of the opportunity (FEL 0) to Select (FEL 2).

This role is based at our DNV office in Seattle, WA, and the Houston, TX office, presenting a dynamic hybrid schedule where employees will typically spend three (3) days per week working from either a DNV office or client location/site. Further details regarding role-specific requirements will be shared during the interview process.
