Process Engineer- Gas processes

About Us:

At Fairbrics, we're at the forefront of a groundbreaking approach to sustainability. We’re

transforming carbon dioxide from industrial emissions into valuable chemicals used in polyester

production—the primary material for clothing. Our mission is to revolutionize the industry by

dramatically cutting greenhouse gas emissions and championing a more sustainable future.

Position Overview:

Fairbrics is seeking a highly skilled Process Engineer with expertise in gas

separation/recovery to join our team. The successful candidate will play a pivotal role in scaling up an

innovative CO2 valorisation technology, focusing on gas processes. This position will be central to the

design, optimization, engineering and construction of a demonstration plant scheduled for 2026.

Key Responsibilities:

• Technology Scale-Up:

Play a key role in scaling up our CO2 valorisation technology, leading

to the construction of a demo plant in 2026.

• Process Design & Optimisation: Focus on the design, optimisation, and improvement of gas

processes, including separation, recovery, and recycling of gases such as CO2, CO, H2, and O2.

• Process Simulation: Perform mass balance calculations and run process simulations using

specialized software (ASPEN).

• Technoeconomic Analysis: Conduct comprehensive technoeconomic analyses to assess the

process's viability and optimize costs.

• Design & Engineering: Lead the design and engineering of gas processes in close coordination

with external engineering firms, ensuring alignment with project goals and timelines.

• Scouting CO2 Conversion Technologies: Research and scout emerging technologies related to

CO2 conversion into valuable chemicals, including CO.

• Team Collaboration: Work closely with a multidisciplinary process team and partners to ensure

smooth integration of gas processes in preparation for the demo plant construction.

Required Qualifications:

• MSc or PhD in a chemical engineering, process engineering or equivalent

• Minimum 3 years of industrial experience (engineering company or other) with simulation and

design of gas processes, particularly with CO2, CO, H2, and O2, including separation, recovery,

and recycling (e.g. adsorption, membrane, …).

• Proficiency in process simulation software (such as ASPEN or equivalent).

• Strong background in performing technoeconomic analyses for industrial processes.

• Self-motivated and proactive, able to adapt, prioritize, and manage multiple projects in fast-

paced environments.

• Excellent communicator and team player, with strong verbal, written, and collaboration skills.

• Highly organized and detail-oriented, with the ability to learn quickly with minimal guidance.

• Fluency in English is required; French is a plus.

• Willingness to travel and spend time abroad for meetings.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience with high-pressure processes.

• Familiarity with CO2 capture, conversion, and valorisation technologies.

• Experience with the scale-up of electrolysers.

What We Offer:

• Competitive compensation

• Employee benefits (health insurance, public transport allowance)

• An opportunity to work on groundbreaking technology with a significant environmental impact.

• Participation in the design and scale-up of a demo plant set to be built in 2026.

• Wonderful colleagues and fun activities ;)

We look forward to welcoming an innovative engineer to our team to help drive the future of CO2 valorisation technology!
