Medior Mechanical Engineer

Ready to accelerate plastic recycling by becoming part of a fast-growing climate technology company? Our Mechanical Engineering team is expanding to realize Blue Alp’s ambition to make all plastic fully circular. We are looking for a Junior/Medior Mechanical Engineer .

BlueAlp – accelerating plastic recycling

Over the years, the discovery of plastic has added great value to the world. However, only 9% of plastic waste is recycled, the rest is burned or goes to landfill. BlueAlp focuses on recycling these plastics into high value products with our proven technology.

We do this via our three business models:

1. Developing and licensing our advanced pyrolysis technology to partners
2. Engineering and building our modular plants with our experienced engineering team in Eindhoven in our own fabrication yard.
3. Own & operate pyrolysis plants in the Benelux

BlueAlp’s technology development started in Switzerland in the Alp’s with our first demo plant of 3kt per annum. This is where we defined our technology philosophy of a continuous and scalable process. The next milestone was scaling this plant up to 21kt per annum, we have engineered and build this plant in Eindhoven and build it up to Oostende (Belgium).
