About the company:

We're Twelve, the carbon transformation company—a new kind of chemical company that makes things from air, not oil. Our breakthrough technology eliminates emissions by transforming CO2 into critical materials, products and fuels. 
When it comes to addressing climate change, carbon isn’t our nemesis. To the contrary, we see carbon as the element of change. Carbon isn’t just the building block of life, it’s the building block of the chemicals, materials and fuels that make up our modern world and power innovation. From the spring in our running shoes to our favorite electronics, to building materials, electric car parts and fuels, carbon makes it possible. The problem is we get this carbon today from fossil fuels in the form of petrochemicals, which creates CO2 emissions and accelerates climate change.
Carbon transformation fundamentally changes this paradigm by sourcing carbon from CO2 instead of fossil fuels. By replacing the fossil carbon in critical chemicals with renewable, recycled carbon from CO2, we can eliminate emissions from thousands of essential products and set a new standard for how things get made in the climate era.

Twelve is a new kind of chemical company built for the climate era. Our breakthrough technology eliminates emissions by turning CO2 into essential products. We are a team of scientists, engineers and problem solvers on a mission to fundamentally shift the way the world addresses climate change and lead the transition to a fossil free future with our carbon transformation technology.

The Capital Projects Team designs, builds and operates processing plants utilizing Twelve’s proprietary technology. We work closely with Business Development to fulfill offtake agreements for carbon negative fuels and chemicals that we produce. 

We are currently looking for an Instrumentation and Electrical Engineer to join our team. The ideal fit will have a strong background as an electrical or instrumentation engineer in either technical plant support or capital projects at a chemical plant or other industrial plant. 

Job Brief  

In this position, you will be responsible for the design of process instrumentation and low voltage electrical engineering project deliverables for the design and construction of process plants utilizing electrolyzers and other balance of plant equipment to process and convert captured CO2 into a myriad of value-added products. As part of the Capital Projects technical team, you will lead conceptual design, partner closely with external parties to perform detailed design and build process plants, and collaborate internally with R&D and production teams to continually improve the plant designs on 1 MW and larger systems. You will both develop and evaluate technical engineering documents for the design and construction of plants from pilot to commercial scale. 

What you will do  

  • Complete FEL 2-3 instrumentation and low voltage electrical deliverables.
  • Work with process and controls engineers on instrumentation design for process plants.
  • Work with electrical engineers on balance of plant electrical system design for process plants.
  • Design engineered electrical systems that are safe, reliable, maintainable, operable, and economic. 
  • Interface with EPC companies, vendors, engineering consultants, and subject matter experts to design and build process plants.
  • Provide technical oversight to ensure projects are designed to appropriate standards.
  • Generate alternatives and provide engineering analysis and recommendations. 
  • Review and approve equipment data sheets, load lists, single line diagrams, I/O lists, cause and effect tables, control narratives, logic diagrams, P&IDs, and other detailed design engineering documents produced by EPCs and engineering contractors.
  • Participate in safety studies, such as arc flash analysis and HAZOP workshops.
  • Provide technical support to on-site instrumentation and electrical construction teams and assist with plant start-up activities.
  • Provide technical support to pilot plant operations and maintenance personnel. 

 Who you are 

  • BS in Electrical Engineering.  
  • Technical expertise in process instrument specification and generation of installation details. 
  • Technical expertise in low voltage (480 VAC and under) electrical system design (electrical load list generation, equipment selection, cable & conduit/tray sizing and routing, relay settings, short-circuit and arc flash analysis, etc.).  
  • Awareness of process control system interfaces, capabilities, and operations. 
  • Familiarity with general NEC requirements, including hazardous (classified) location equipment specification and wiring methods.  
  • Awareness of safety by design principles. 
  • Experience designing, installing, commissioning, maintaining, and troubleshooting process instrumentation and low voltage electrical systems in complex process facilities.  
  • Understanding and familiarity with project execution processes and project lifecycles.  
  • Awareness of industrial plant operating philosophies and business drivers.
