Join Utility Global
At Utility, we’re reimagining what’s possible.
Our breakthrough H2Gen® technology transforms undesirable industrial byproducts
into clean energy and sustainable fuels and feedstocks, helping hard-toabate
industries decarbonize without compromise. We’re building systems and
solutions that will power a zero-carbon future by turning what the world doesn’t
want into clean energy it needs most.
But technology alone doesn’t change the world.
People do.
We’re building a team as bold as our mission. Engineers and scientists, designers
and operators, storytellers and strategists all united by a shared belief: that the
undesirable can become invaluable, and that industrial decarbonization can be
both practical and economical.
At Utility, we see possibilities where others see limits. We believe progress happens
when diverse minds collaborate toward a cleaner, smarter, more resilient world.
If you’re ready to do the most meaningful work of your career, join us and help
build what’s next.
The Company
Utility Global is redefining how the world makes and uses energy. Through its
breakthrough H₂Gen® technology, Utility transforms industrial off-gases and
biogases into clean energy and sustainable fuels and feedstocks, helping industries
decarbonize without compromise. The company’s proprietary technology delivers a
scalable, economic pathway to a zero-carbon future, positioning Utility as a leader
in the industrial decarbonization revolution.
The Role
Utility is seeking a Proposal Development Engineer to support technical proposal
development and early-stage project activities. Reporting to the Director of Project
Development, this role sits at the intersection of Engineering, Business
Development, and Projects and plays a meaningful role in shaping technically
sound, commercially competitive proposals.
This position is ideal for an engineer who enjoys creative problem-solving, working
across disciplines, and contributing to early project definition. This role focuses on
front-end loading (FEL), process simulation, and feasibility evaluations, that form
the basis of proposals.
This role is based in Houston, TX and requires approximately 20-25% travel,
including international.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop customer-specific technical and economic proposals using process
- Perform CAPEX, OPEX, and Levelized Cost of Hydrogen (LCOH) evaluations.
- Prepare technical documentation and respond to clarifications during proposal
- Improve internal tools, workflows, and assumptions to enhance efficiency and
- Assist in developing FEL deliverables such as PFDs, P&IDs, equipment
- Work with process, mechanical, and project engineering teams to ensure scope,
- Participate in identification of technical risks and development of mitigation
- Work closely with Engineering, Finance, Projects, Business Development, and
- Apply industry best practices and lessons learned to continuously improve

Candidate Profile
- Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering.
- Minimum 5 years of engineering experience, with exposure to feasibility studies, FEL execution, or technical proposal development.
- Strong foundation in core engineering principles (thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer).
- Familiarity with process simulation and design tools such as ProMax (preferred), Aspen HYSYS, Aspen Plus, UNISIM
- Experience producing engineering deliverables such as PFDs, P&IDs, equipment specifications, and cost or schedule inputs.
- Solid analytical, problem-solving, and collaboration skills.
- Ability to work effectively in the ambiguity typical of early-stage and first-of-a-kind projects.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
- Develop customer-specific technical and economic proposals using process simulation tools (ProMax preferred).
- Experience in oil & gas, petrochemicals, industrial gases, hydrogen, or related energy industries.
- Proficiency with tools such as Visio and Bluebeam (or similar).
- Working knowledge of project management fundamentals, including scope definition, cost estimates, and schedules.
