**Responsibilities**:
- Conduct advanced LCA modelling to evaluate environmental impacts (carbon, water, energy, waste) across full product life cycles,
- Develop comparative analyses of materials, processes, and supply chain alternatives to inform sustainability strategies,
- Design and implement methodologies for Life Cycle Costing (LCC), Social LCA (SLCA), and Full Cost Accounting (FCA) to quantify economic and social impacts alongside environmental metrics,
- Ensure strict adherence to ISO 14040/14044, ISO 14067, EN 15978, and EU Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) standards during model development and reporting,
- Lead critical reviews of LCA studies and validate third-party assessments for methodological accuracy,
- Build complex LCA models in SimaPro Craft and contribute to the development of standardized libraries/templates for the Synergy platform. Optimize workflows for data input, impact allocation, and scenario testing,
- Troubleshoot technical challenges in database integration and model interoperability across software tools (e.g., GaBi, openLCA),
- Partner with R&D, supply chain, and product teams to integrate LCA insights into eco-design, circular economy initiatives, and decarbonization roadmaps,
- Deliver actionable recommendations for reducing Scope 3 emissions, improving material efficiency, and achieving certifications (e.g., EPDs, Cradle-to-Cradle).
**Requirements**:
- Master’s/PhD in Environmental Engineering, Industrial Ecology, Chemical Engineering, or related field with thesis/applied work in LCA,
- 5-7+ years in conducting ISO-compliant LCAs for manufacturing, energy, or consumer goods sectors,
- Proven track record in SimaPro (Craft and Synergy), including model customization, library development, and uncertainty analysis,
- Expertise in at least two additional methodologies: LCC, SLCA, FCA, or TEA (Techno-Economic Analysis),
- Advanced proficiency in Python/R for automating LCA workflows and parsing large datasets,
- Fluency in interpreting Ecoinvent, GaBi, and industry-specific databases,
- Deep familiarity with ISO 14025 (EPDs), GHG Protocol, and Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) criteria,
- Ability to manage 3-5 concurrent projects under tight deadlines while maintaining
