Conceptual Engineering Manager CO2/H2

The Conceptual Engineering Manager CO2/H2 at Linde Advanced Material Technologies is based in The Woodlands, TX. This role defines and assesses technology and overall plant solutions for Hydrogen and CO2 project opportunities in the Americas, evaluating gas supply options across various production technologies. You will support the Global Tech Product Management organization to ensure US-specific project opportunities and customer needs are considered in Hydrogen and CO2 product offerings. You will engage with internal engineering teams and vendors during early concept phases to explore collaborations, lead concept development, and conduct economic evaluations aligned with client and cluster requirements. You will create Project Specifications in partnership with customers, contribute to process deliverables, simulations, and cost/performance details for proposals, and develop preliminary conceptual capital estimates for option screening. You will work with LEA Equipment and Conceptual Design teams to verify technical solutions and confirm pricing and performance assumptions. You will support customer presentations and client knowledge-acquisition sessions, ensure strong linkages and alignment among stakeholders, and perform ad-hoc tasks as needed.
