Lead Engineer – White Liquor & Evaporation: Drive Lifecycle Excellence in Global WLE Engineering

Are you ready for the next step in your career? Join our WLE Process & Applications team as a Lead Engineer and play a key role in delivering technically strong and lifecycle-optimized White Liquor & Evaporation (WLE) solutions to customers around the world. You will lead engineering activities across capital projects, service deliveries, upgrades, and modernization initiatives while helping customers maximize long-term plant performance. Working with colleagues in Chennai, Gothenburg, Karlstad, and Copenhagen, you will contribute to global project execution and customer success across the full lifecycle of WLE technologies. This is an opportunity to deepen your expertise in evaporation and white liquor plant engineering while growing your career in a collaborative international environment.

Your responsibilities

  • Lead and perform process and engineering activities for WLE projects across capital deliveries and service scopes.
  • Act as Lead Engineer with technical responsibility, collaborating closely with Product Management teams in Sweden and Denmark.
  • Develop process concepts, engineering solutions, and technical configurations based on customer needs and lifecycle requirements.
  • Perform dimensioning, calculations, and technical evaluations for WLE systems and related pulp mill process interfaces.
  • Prepare, review, and coordinate technical documentation, specifications, and engineering deliverables.
  • Support service, upgrade, troubleshooting, and modernization projects to optimize lifecycle performance.
  • Collaborate with customers and global stakeholders in technical discussions, problem-solving activities, and project execution.
  • Contribute to commissioning activities, performance evaluations, HAZOP studies, and guarantee-related tasks when required.
  • Work within a broader WLE context including evaporation, ash treatment systems, re-causticizing, and lime kiln applications.

Expectations from you

  • B.E. or M.E. degree in Thermal, Energy, Chemical, or Mechanical Engineering.
  • Proven expertise in project execution and experience in pulp mill engineering and design.
  • Alternatively, you bring a strong operational and process background within pulp mill operations.
  • 10-12 years of experience in pulp mill operations, process engineering, or similar roles.
  • Ability to translate operational knowledge into technically sound engineering solutions across the pulp mill lifecycle.
  • Experience with service, upgrades, modernization, or troubleshooting activities.
  • Customer-focused and enjoy working collaboratively across teams and cultures.
  • Work independently and take ownership in a Lead Engineer role.
  • Bring strong analytical and structured problem-solving skills.
  • Excellent English communication skills, both written and spoken.

To succeed in this role

Success in this role requires strong expertise in pulp mill processes, WLE engineering, and lifecycle-focused plant solutions. You will need the ability to combine technical engineering knowledge with operational insight to develop practical, high-quality solutions for customers. Strong project execution capabilities, technical leadership, and the ability to collaborate effectively across global teams are essential to delivering successful outcomes.

We also expect you to align with Valmet’s Leadership Principles—practical behaviors that guide how we lead, collaborate, and succeed together:

  • Take accountability – Act with ownership, set clear expectations, and follow through

  • Collaborate for growth – Work across boundaries, value diverse perspectives, and focus on customer value

You will join Valmet’s growing WLE Process & Applications team, a globally distributed organization with colleagues primarily based in Chennai, Gothenburg, Karlstad, and Copenhagen. The team is responsible for delivering lifecycle-focused engineering solutions that support customers from capital project design and execution through service, upgrades, modernization, and long-term operational performance. You will work closely with global technology and engineering specialists while contributing to both capital projects and service deliveries. The role offers meaningful opportunities to influence customer performance, safety, and asset value through technically strong engineering solutions. You will also have the opportunity to expand your expertise in White Liquor & Evaporation technologies and build a rewarding career within a collaborative international environment.
