As a Senior Project Engineer for Refractory, you will take responsibility for defining refractory design concepts and managing engineering and supply packages within our agglomeration and fluid bed projects. You will contribute your expertise across the full lifecycle of refractory solutions — from concept development to delivery — and ensure technical excellence in close collaboration with interdisciplinary teams.
Your core responsibilities include:
1. End-to-end responsibility for assigned equipment and technologies
2. Developing refractory solutions for process and mechanical systems, including tools and modelling capabilities
3. Executing heat transfer calculations and selecting suitable refractory material qualities
4. Supporting and coordinating standardization and productization activities
5. Developing cost-efficient refractory designs (“design to cost”)
6. Executing refractory engineering tasks and supervising external engineering partners
7. Managing the development and continuous improvement of refractory solutions
8. Handling intellectual property rights (IPR) management in conjunction with related technologies
9. Managing proposals and providing technical support to the proposal team
10. Supporting Centers of Competence (COCs) in sales and offering activities
11. Supporting Services in offering and delivering refractory solutions
12. Leading or contributing to PSM activities (Product & Solution Management) for refractory solutions
13. Participating in the development of best practices, workflows, and engineering tools
