Fortera
Decarbonizes cement via CO2 mineralization
Fortera is transforming one of the world’s largest industries by reinventing how cement is made. Headquartered in Silicon Valley, Fortera has developed next-generation cement technology that delivers high performance while reducing CO₂ emissions by up to ~70%. By mineralizing CO₂ and turning it into a productive feedstock, Fortera converts emissions into a valuable building material, creating a more sustainable path for modern construction.
With our commercial ReCarb® plant operating in Redding, California, and a growing global project pipeline, Fortera is moving from first-of-a-kind deployment to scaled commercialization. Our technology is already being used in real-world infrastructure applications, bringing next-generation cement into use today while expanding toward broader adoption.
At Fortera, you’ll work alongside scientists, engineers, operators, and industry experts who are turning cutting-edge materials science into real-world impact. We’re looking for curious thinkers, builders, and problem-solvers who want to help tackle one of the biggest challenges facing our planet.
This is more than a job. It’s an opportunity to help shape the future of sustainable construction.

POSITION OVERVIEW
The Senior Process Engineer will lead engineering support for successful design and operation of all Fortera processes: mineral grinding, kiln operation/calcination, mineral dissolution, gas absorption, precipitation, solids dewatering, and drying.
This is a hands-on role requiring a driven, experienced mechanical or chemical engineer who would be versatile enough to bridge the gaps between R&D, internal core process design, and outside engineering firms or equipment suppliers.
The position is best suited for someone with chemical production experience who understands plant operations, can effectively oversee the plant engineering activities, and own all equipment design and specifications decisions.
This individual must be able to deal with the unknown challenges brought on by implementing new technology and manufacturing processes and is comfortable with not knowing all the answers but be able to make decisions and recommendations as we go.

Fortera develops materials technology to decarbonize cement by capturing CO2 from existing cement plants and turning it into stable carbonate with its ReCarb process. The result is a cementitious material with a lower carbon footprint. Fortera operates a production facility in Redding, California, and also partners with established cement producers worldwide to integrate ReCarb into their plants, enabling faster adoption across the cement and construction value chain. The company relies on a large patent portfolio (over 100 patents) and significant venture funding to scale its technology and expand globally. Its goal is to reduce emissions in cement production by providing low- and zero-carbon cement through in-plant capture and mineralization, and to broaden access to sustainable building materials.
