Heat Recovery Engineer (Mechanical / Chemical) Bristol £35,000 to £55,000 DOE Profit Share Share Options Benefits Heat Recovery Engineer required by an innovative energy efficiency and carbon reduction business that is making a positive impact on the planet. Candidates will hold a mechanical, Energy, chemical degree (or equivalent) and have experience in thermal systems, energy efficiency or process engineering. The company’s products are in use by many well-known manufacturers and the business is expanding rapidly driven by the increase in global fuel prices. Your role as Heat Recovery Engineer will be to design, analyse and implement systems that capture and reuse waste heat from industrial, institutional, or energy production processes. Your work will help directly to improve energy efficiency, reducing operational costs and contributing to the environmental sustainability of installed systems. The Heat Recovery Engineer Role: * Design and develop heat recovery systems such as economisers, heat exchangers, Heat Pumps, and combined heat and power (CHP) systems. * Conduct thermal and energy balance calculations to identify heat recovery opportunities. * Evaluate and select appropriate technologies and equipment for heat recovery applications. * Perform energy audits and site assessments to assess current energy usage and waste heat streams. Conduct thermal and energy balance calculations to identify heat recovery opportunities. * Collaborate with process engineers, mechanical designers, and contractors to integrate systems into existing operations. * Prepare technical drawings, specifications, and cost-benefit analyses. * Manage project lifecycle from conceptual design through commissioning and performance validation. * Ensure compliance with environmental regulations, health and safety standards, and energy codes. * Monitor and report on system performance and recommend optimisations or upgrades. The Heat Recovery Engineer: * Degree (or equivalent) in Energy Engineering, Mechanical, or other related fields. * Experience in thermal systems, energy efficiency, or process engineering. * Knowledge of heat exchanger design, thermodynamics, and fluid mechanics. * Strong project management and communication skills. * Ability to work independently and as part of a cross-functional team. * Experience with industrial systems (e.g. boilers, Spray dryers, turbines, HVAC) is advantageous.
