Carbon Capture Position in the UK

[Simon]

Hi all,

My name is Simon Hill and I work for a specialist environmental recruitment agency, Hawwthorn Environmental. I currently have an exciting opportunity that some of you may well find to be of interest.

It is with a large and top-ranking international company. They are currently looking for someone to work in interdisciplinary project teams on a range of assignments covering carbon capture and storage on coal, gas-fired and capture-ready plant with the opportunity to grow and share technical expertise. The role can be based in Glasgow, Manchester or Brighton.

Our client is extremely well regarded in the industry and we would be interested to hear from anyone who feels this could be a good opportunity for them. This kind of position does not come around often so if you are interested, please do get in touch.

My email is [e-mail] and I would be very interested to hear from you or anyone you think may be interested in this position.

Best regards,

Simon

Dear Simon,
I just completed my PhD in Geology at the University of Rome “Sapienza”. My research was carried out under the framework of the “CO2GeoNet” – a network of universities and research institutes throughout Europe (including BGS, BGR and NIVA, among others) engaged in the research on CO2 Storage as a way to mitigate climate change and ocean acidification.
My PhD dissertation was very multi-disciplinary covering a wide range of topics related to the effects of the increased levels of greenhouse gas. It was focused mainly on the field study of a “natural analogue” for carbon dioxide storage and on the study of the impact of high levels of carbon dioxide on the marine realm. In the theoretical part of the dissertation the general problem of global warming, climate change and available CCS technologies were addressed. The experimental research incorporated the development of monitoring techniques for sub-seabed carbon dioxide leaks. The applied methods included geological survey, chemical monitoring and biological sampling. Some lab simulations of the behavior of gas plumes in a liquid environment were conducted in order to define the possible effects of CO2 leakage from a sub-seabed storage site.
I worked with researchers in other fields such as engineers, biologists and physicists in an international environment. During my PhD training I had the opportunity to present my work at many international meetings and to write reports that have been utilized by the CO2GeoNet for its official final reports to the EU.
I’m currently looking for new and challenging opportunities to work on this interesting topic, and from the description of the job it looks appropriate for my skills and my scientific interests.
I look forward to hearing from you. I am sending my CV and I will be happy to provide you with any further information or references you may need.
Thank you for your kind attention.
Sincerely yours.
Giorgio Caramanna
