Senior Process Engineer

Our projects need great people with loads of creativity. A Senior Process Engineer at TransitionHERO is the problem solver and creative thinker who supports the process team with passion, brings in senior process expertise and practical knowledge on how to engineer industrial processes. Our ideal new colleague is able to grasp clients’ wishes and convert these into concrete designs with a solid business case.

Hello there.

Are you our new Senior Process Engineer?

Let’s see:

You want to make impact. This should go without saying.
You’ve got experience. You’ve been around. It’s not a numbers game, but you’ve probably been a Process Engineer for a minimum of 7 years. You have a proven engineering track record in industrial process plants. Ideally you have experience working at an engineering contractor.
You’re a good Senior Process Engineer. Whatever it is, you’ve got it. You speak the language of heat exchangers, distillation columns, pumps and reactors, and you love it when things come together in a nicely structured mass and heat balance or P&ID.
You’ve been with your boots on the ground. So you feel at home walking around in a process plant and don’t mind going out and finding that one tag plate for some missing data yourself. You have practical experience on how factories work and know how to translate this into a design.
You’re all about ideas. CO2 is important, but it is not always what all this is about.
You hate repetitive engineering. That’s why we automate it.
You’re a leader. Leadership at TransitionHERO isn’t about telling other people what to do. You lead by listening and by example. You are able to review the work of junior engineers and help them grow their knowledge with your mentoring skills.
You like people. That doesn’t mean you can’t be an introvert. We like introverts. It just means that you are good at working with the rest of us, whether it’s engineers from different disciplines, clients or the people who clean our office.
You’re a magician. You listen to our clients and work with them (and the rest of us) to magically create the very thing that somehow makes their wishes come true.
You’re the one who shows up on time. You’re organized. You make things happen. You make sure your project stays on budget. And you take deadlines very, very seriously.
You have opinions. And you can articulate them. (And you’re not afraid to tell our director when he or she’s saying something that doesn’t make any sense). And we will listen to you.
You’re just a person in the world. You don’t know everything, and you don’t think you know everything. But you’re curious. You want to know more. After all, it’s a big world.
There is more than salary. Next to a competitive salary, you’ll get the possibility to entrepreneur with us and participate in the company. And off course coaching and personal development, a great office, nice coffee, unlimited fruit and snacks, fun and profit sharing are also part of the deal. Or just tell us what you want. And don’t forget about the fabulous projects.

Our drive is to create sustainable industries and communities by scaling-up and implementing Green Technologies. While we work with municipalities, large corporates and small start-ups, with innovative projects with a design process focused on the business case of our clients. For example, we scale-up new biobased and recycling technologies to an industrial scale demo plant together with Greentech startups, we design new energy systems for industrial plants, but we also apply this industrial scale of thinking to change complete villages in order to make them energy-neutral. Once we have made a design, we use our in-house developed software to duplicate the design in order to scale-up green technologies, faster and smarter. Our creativity and professional experience combined with our parametric design are key to our approach. And we love having a bit of fun along the way.

TransitionHERO is open to whoever you are: we are an international team, forward-looking, and curious about just what makes you unique. Our office space in the Cambridge Innovation Center Rotterdam offers a nursery, a prayer room, food/drinks and quiet workstations. What else? Shares in our rapidly growing scale-up, meetings on our sunny roof terrace, ping-pong and video games, a gym room + enclosed showers, working from home when you want, regular drinks with all the innovative neighbours in our building, fun company outings, and a workplace literally next to Rotterdam Central Station.

Founded in 2019, we have the ambition and resources to grow and impact the industry. Come join us and have exciting projects that truly make a difference. You will find colleagues and clients with a high drive to create impact for a better world. We offer endless opportunities to help shape our young company.

Project Engineer

Our projects need great people with loads of creativity. A Project Engineer at TransitionHERO is complementing our engineering teams with multi-disciplinary perspective and in larger projects act as the anchor point of the project manager. You lead multiple projects with passion, bring in technical know-how on how to execute complex projects and love to spark creativity in teams. You’re able to grasp clients’ wishes and convert them into concrete designs. While having a multidisciplinary background, you can also act as design lead during the conceptual design stage of projects.

Hello there.

Are you our new Project Engineer?

Let’s see:

You want to make a positive impact on our planet. This should go without saying.
You’ve got experience. You’ve been around. It’s not a numbers game, but you’ve been involved in engineering projects as a project engineer for at least 3 – 5 years. You have a proven multi-disciplinary engineering track record in industrial process plants and chemicals. You are able to review the work of junior engineers and help them grow their knowledge with your coaching skills.
Your heart beats engineering. You know what it takes to design a process or new technology, so you really understand the challenges of the engineers working in your team. You know what to deliver in conceptual engineering and what to do in basic engineering. While multidisciplinary engineering experience is required, electrical engineering background is a plus.
You’re the punk who shows up on time. You’re organized. You make things happen. You make sure your project stays within budget and on track. And you take deadlines very serious.
You like to connect. You ensure interfaces between the different disciplines are defined and aligned. And how this is translated into the design. You’re also able to work with vendors and subcontractors.
You’re a magician for our clients. You listen to our clients and work with them to magically create the very thing that somehow makes their wishes come true. Because we work very closely with our clients at high stakes projects, your recommendations are critical in their success. You are a sparring partner for their engineers, you are collaborative, positive and understand how to build trust.
You are passionate about people and can lead. Your team including client engineers (and other people that are part of it) is what you truly care about. You connect with people, whether it’s engineers, clients or the people who clean our office. You are enthusiastic to make teams perform, spark creativity and solve the toughest challenges. Leadership at TransitionHERO isn’t about telling other people what to do. You lead by example and by listening to your team.
You’re independent and confident. Like this bullet point.
You speak jargon-free. You are not afraid to present to our stakeholders and explain to them the great benefits and consequences of your project, so that they become part of your league.
You have opinions. And you can articulate them. (And you’re not afraid to tell our director when he or she’s saying something that doesn’t make any sense). And we will listen to it.
You’re just a regular person in this world. You don’t know everything, and you don’t think you know everything. But you’re curious. You want to know more.
There is more than salary. Next to a competitive salary, you’ll get the possibility to entrepreneur with us and participate in the company. And of course coaching and personal development, a great office, nice coffee, unlimited fruit and snacks, fun and profit sharing are also part of the deal. Or just tell us what you want. And don’t forget about the wonderful projects.
