About the role
We are looking for a Senior Product Sustainability & LCA Specialist to help quantify and communicate the environmental impact of our products, technologies, services and circular business models. The role sits within ESG Sustainability, reports to the Head of ESG Sustainability and provides globally consistent, evidence-based calculations that support Mission Zero initiatives, customer sustainability objectives, product development, commercial opportunities and ESG reporting. This is a hands-on specialist role that will directly perform calculations and, where needed, coordinate external consultants or LCA partners, review their outputs and take ownership of the final results as part of ESG Sustainability's global methodology and governance.
What you will do
- Develop and apply Life Cycle Assessments, Product Carbon Footprints and other environmental impact assessments for products, technologies, services and solutions.
- Perform environmental calculations related to avoided emissions, circularity benefits, land use avoided, water savings, waste reductions, resource efficiency and other relevant indicators.
- Support Mission Zero projects by providing technical calculation support within ESG Sustainability.
- Connect product- and customer-level impact methodologies with FLSmidth's organisational environmental footprint approach, corporate ESG reporting boundaries and external disclosure requirements.
- Document assumptions, data sources, limitations and calculation logic in a clear and auditable way.
- Coordinate external LCA consultants or technical providers when additional expertise or capacity is required, ensuring clear scopes, data inputs, assumptions, timelines and deliverables.
- Review, challenge and validate external provider outputs, and take accountability for the quality, consistency and final use of those outcomes as if they were produced internally by the role.
- Develop tools, methodologies and models to scale environmental impact assessments across the product portfolio.
- Collaborate with the Head of Mission Zero, Product Management, R&D, Sales, Service, Marketing, Sustainability Reporting, ESG Finance, business-line stakeholders, customer-facing teams and external LCA partners.
- Provide technical substantiation for customer-facing sustainability value propositions, tenders, environmental claims and commercial materials.
