Every day, we get opportunities to make a positive impact - on our colleagues, partners, customers, and society. Together, we're pioneering the solutions of the future and unlocking the full potential of precious resources. Trusted to act on initiative, we challenge conventional thinking to develop world-leading technologies that inspire progress in vital areas, including energy, food, water, and shipping.
As we push forward, the innovative, open spirit that fuels our 140-year-old start-up culture and rapid growth also drives our personal growth. So, as we shape a more resourceful, less wasteful world, we build our careers too.
About the job
We are building new capabilities in CO₂ capture to support the maritime industry's transition toward net-zero emissions. This role sits at the center of that effort, focused on developing and validating carbon capture solutions for fired boiler systems, a key emissions source in offshore and marine applications.
As our technical expert, you will take ownership of developing a chemical CO₂ capture process from early-stage concept through pilot validation and toward industrial application. This is not a support role; you will be one of the few people in this space internally, expected to bring depth, direction, and technical judgment in an area where we are still building competence.
You will work across R&D, engineering, and commercial teams, translating scientific principles into practical solutions that can be deployed in real-world systems.
Key responsibilities:
Act as the primary technical expert for chemical CO₂ capture processes
Develop and optimize CO₂ capture solutions based on potassium carbonate systems
Evaluate the impact of physical chemistry, thermodynamics, and transport phenomena on process performance
Analyze and apply scientific literature to guide technology development
Support process modeling, pilot testing, and validation activities
Interpret experimental data and translate findings into engineering improvements
Identify opportunities to improve efficiency, performance, and operability
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to move from development to industrial implementation
Contribute to technical positioning of solutions toward external stakeholders and clients
The main site of Power & Offshore is in Rauma, Finland, and Finland is the preferred location of this position, however the CO2 specialist can also be based at any of our Nordic sites. The role includes approximately 10-20 days of international travel per year.
Who are you
You operate effectively in environments where structure is limited and direction is not always clearly defined, taking ownership of complex and ambiguous challenges without waiting to be guided. Rather than relying on established methods, you approach problems from first principles, using a structured and analytical mindset to turn uncertainty into clear, actionable paths forward. At the same time, you are able to translate complex technical concepts into practical insights that others can understand and act on. What ultimately drives you is applying your expertise to real-world challenges, with a strong focus on developing solutions that create tangible impact beyond theory.
What you know
You bring deep technical expertise in chemistry and chemical processes, with the ability to move from theory to application in complex engineering environments.
We are looking for:
Master's degree (or higher) in Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, Process Engineering, or related field
Strong expertise in physical chemistry and chemical process fundamentals
Solid understanding of gas absorption, chemical equilibria, kinetics, mass transfer, and heat transfer
Experience in R&D, product development, or advanced engineering environments
Proven experience contributing to or leading technology development projects
Ability to translate scientific concepts into practical engineering solutions
Strong capability to read, assess, and apply scientific and technical literature
