Researcher

Work on new questions, new ideas and new technology. Most of your time will be spent in our R&D laboratory, where experiments and

data are used to develop and improve solutions that can ultimately be implemented at full scale.

Cambi is a world-leading provider of sustainable technology solutions that enable cities to turn wastewater sludge into valuable

resources. We are a medium-size, Norway-based multinational company listed in Oslo on Euronext Growth, with offices in several

countries. We have diligent employees from different backgrounds and more than 25 nationalities, and a growing sales network

covering all continents.

Our core expertise lies in designing, testing, manufacturing, installing, and operating industrial process installations, used

mainly for treating sewage sludge before or after anaerobic digestion in wastewater treatment plants. The technology, known as

thermal hydrolysis, reduces greenhouse gas emissions and produces renewable energy, organic fertilizers, and various soil products

while destroying pathogens and other harmful substances. Our systems have the capacity to cater to over 120 million individuals

across more than 28 countries. We are proud of having cities like Oslo, London, Washington, Singapore, and Sydney among our

clients.

We are looking for an R&D Researcher to join Cambi's Technology Team. This is primarily a hands-on laboratory role, where you will

plan and conduct experiments, analyse results and investigate technical questions for which the answer is not known in advance.

Our laboratory conducts both exploratory R&D and customer testing. You may investigate new technologies, improve existing

products, study unexpected behavior or test how THP performs on a customer's sludge or other substrate. The work requires careful

experimental planning, interpretation and communication of results.

You will be expected to think independently and turn technical problems into questions that can actually be investigated: form

hypotheses, identify what would support or contradict them, design useful tests or analyses, and adapt the next step based on the

evidence.

The role also connects laboratory research with Cambi's full-scale installations. Depending on the project, you may take part in

full-scale trials and sample collection, analyse operating and performance data, support commissioning teams during ramp-up of

anaerobic digesters, and contribute to developing a scientific basis for other activities throughout the company.

You will work in a multidisciplinary Technology Team with expertise in process technology, mechanical design, modelling,

experimental research and full-scale plant operation. The position involves regular work at both our Asker and Ås locations.

• Operate laboratory-scale sludge treatment equipment involving high temperatures and pressures in accordance with established

safety and quality procedures.

• Perform chemical and physical analyses, such as COD and other chemical analyses, rheological measurements, centrate colour

measurements and assessment of sludge dewatering properties.

• Is comfortable saying "I do not know" when that is the technically correct answer, and can identify what information would be

needed to move forward.

• Relevant higher education in science or engineering, typically at MSc level, or equivalent competence demonstrated through

experience.

• A background in chemical engineering, process engineering, environmental engineering, biotechnology, chemistry or another

relevant scientific discipline.

• Experience with laboratory or experimental work through employment, research projects, thesis work, university laboratories or

similar activities.

• Experience with wastewater treatment, sludge treatment, anaerobic digestion or related fields is an advantage, but is not

required.

You will join a technical environment where ideas are discussed openly and where people are trusted to think for themselves. The

laboratory workload includes both exploratory R&D and customer testing. You will work on real development questions, help

customers understand how THP performs on their substrates, see how laboratory findings influence engineering decisions, and have

opportunities to follow technology from an early experiment toward pilot work, full-scale implementation and operating experience.

We do not expect a new researcher to know everything. We do expect curiosity, sound reasoning, a willingness to learn and the

judgement to distinguish between what is known, what is assumed and what still needs to be tested.

• Make an impact: Contribute to projects transforming organic waste streams into bioresources, boosting the circular economy, and

leading to net-zero emissions in cities worldwide.

• Immerse in diversity: Join a multicultural team with a mix of young and experienced colleagues from more than 25 countries and

18 different disciplinary backgrounds.

• Grow personally: Embrace our values quality, reliable, curious, teamwork, in a dynamic work environment grounded in a modern

Code of Conduct applying to all employees and business partners.

If you’re ready to take the next step in your career with us, we’d love to hear from you. We kindly ask you to upload your CV and

answer three questions regarding your motivation for the role.

Delivering on our mission to enable a swift global transition to sustainable communities is contingent on attracting and retaining

talented employees from diverse backgrounds.

Deadline for applying is October 18th. Please be informed that we will only accept and assess applications through our career
