Join the Sustainable Revolution with Holcim Belgium and the GO4ZERO project!

We are thrilled to introduce our latest initiative, the GO4ZERO project. This ambitious project embodies our commitment to protecting the environment and achieving net-zero CO2 emissions. GO4ZERO is more than just a project; it’s a movement towards a more sustainable and responsible future in the construction sector. Through cutting-edge technologies, innovative practices, and a collaborative approach, we aim to revolutionize the industry while maintaining our dedication to excellence and sustainability.

As we embark on this journey, we are looking for passionate, skilled, and visionary individuals to join our team. This is not just a job opportunity; it’s a chance to be part of a project that will shape the future of construction and make a tangible impact on the world.

The GO4ZERO initiative is a highly ambitious project aimed at significantly reducing the
environmental footprint in clinker production through the adoption of innovative and sustainable practices. Transitioning clinker production at Obourg from a wet process using chalk to a dry process using limestone involves the extraction and processing of calcium carbonate-rich limestone. This pivotal project also encompasses substantial infrastructure developments including railway connections to facilitate limestone transport from Vaulx (Tournai) to Obourg, representing an investment of up to 350 million euros in total.

Role Description:

We are seeking a seasoned Mechanical Supervisor to drive the mechanical aspects of the cement kiln package under the GO4ZERO project. The role involves strategic oversight during the study (10% to 20% of working time) and realization phases (80% to 90% of working time), ensuring the integration of mechanical components with environmental sustainability objectives at the forefront.

Key Responsibilities:

During the Study Phase (10% to 20% of working time):

• Validate supplier designs for the Obourg site.
