Did you know that we facilitate over half of the world’s lithium battery production? And that 1 out of 7 meals worldwide have been produced in facilities equipped with our climate control? Munters has been a pioneer of sustainable air treatment solutions since 1955. Today our technology is more relevant than ever and is mission-critical for the production of medicine to the running of data centers. Together we work to support our customers in creating a healthier planet. Come work for us and be a part of this exciting journey.

Munters wants to reinforce its position as the leading strategic partner for smart, connected energy-efficient climate and dehumidification solutions, and the partner of choice for customers on their sustainability journey. The threat of climate change has brought on a fast-faced evolving legislative landscape, with high priority on product environmental impact reduction and Corporate Sustainability Reporting. Munters products require energy to function, therefore over 90% of Munters carbon footprint comes from the Scope 3 emissions of products over their lifespan. Therefore, improvements to the product energy efficiency can afford dramatic reduction of our corporate environmental footprint, as we continue to provide best-in-class innovative and reliable technology. The SBTi, Science Based Targets initiative, is a global initiative of companies who want to set realistic and achievable goals for their decarbonization journey. Munters ambition is to join SBTi and set such targets for 2025, 2030 and beyond.

We are looking for an employee who will support us in analyzing and strengthening our comprehension of the SBTi requirements and translating our ambition into an outline of our current product portfolio technology development needs. We need an engineer that can take the corporate sustainability universe as a basis for setting tangible targets on energy efficiency and Scope 3 reduction. This position will actively work on research around new systems and new concepts to apply to Munters dehumidification, cooling and carbon capture technology offering.

As a change agent to tomorrow’s Munters, you will report to the Global Eco-design Manager within Group Innovation and contribute to creating a robust roadmap to achieve Science Based Targets and corporate Scope 3 emissions reduction targets. The position is ideally suited for an energy engineer with a track record within sustainability, life cycle analysis (LCA), thermodynamics, and technology research and development.
