Arbor Energy
We are seeking a Senior Process Engineer to develop and own process engineering deliverables for modular process units such as biomass gasification, oxy-combustion, supercritical CO2 power generation, CO2 purification and liquefaction, and wastewater treatment. As a process engineer at a fast-paced company developing novel technology, you'll participate in a wide range of activities from conceptual studies through plant commissioning, startup, and troubleshooting. As projects move into the detailed engineering and construction phases, you will be responsible for managing EPC process engineering efforts to ensure successful project execution.
This Senior role also involves the establishment of internal documentation, standards, and work processes. The ideal candidate has experience across the project lifecycle from conceptual design through detailed design, commissioning, and operation. Hands-on experience with construction or field troubleshooting is also highly valued.
Arbor is a team of engineers, scientists, and builders focused on creating the next generation of clean energy systems. Our work combines high-efficiency turbomachinery, advanced combustion, and modular design to deliver zero-emission, fuel-flexible power at scale. We've drawn from aerospace and industrial expertise to meet the challenge of surging electricity demand-and to offer a solution that installs faster, performs better, and costs less than conventional alternatives. We're designing energy systems that can evolve with the world's needs.
