You will keep ADNOC Gas’s carbon numbers honest. The role supports the decarbonization roadmap by compiling emissions data, maintaining the abatement initiatives register, and preparing the calculations, forecasts and trend analyses that sit behind management reporting. It also covers screening work on renewable energy options, carbon capture for inherent CO₂ and combustion sources, and energy efficiency as an abatement lever.
The value of this position comes from the gap it closes. A major gas producer is making investment decisions on brownfield, greenfield and growth projects, and those decisions depend on emissions data that arrives from many asset teams in different formats. Someone has to validate it, compare low-carbon alternatives on cost and carbon, and document the assumptions. That someone is this engineer. The work also feeds into Life Cycle Assessment, Product Carbon Footprint and CBAM readiness, which shape how products are positioned in export markets.
This suits someone who is technically fluent in GHG accounting and oil and gas facilities, comfortable chasing data across HSE, Operations, Finance and Engineering, and patient enough to build reliable records rather than headline conclusions.
Job FAQs
What are the main missions and responsibilities of this role?
This is a supporting technical role inside ADNOC Gas's carbon management function. The core mission is to keep the company's decarbonization roadmap accurate and current by compiling emissions data, maintaining the GHG abatement initiatives register, and preparing calculations, forecasts and trend analyses across operating assets and growth projects.
Day to day, that means collecting actual emissions and production data from HSE, Operations and asset teams, updating project statuses and abatement assumptions, and preparing charts, tables, dashboards and draft technical notes for management reporting. You would also support GHG assessments for brownfield, greenfield and growth projects by comparing low-carbon options such as power supply, fuel selection, steam systems, electrification and process optimisation.
Alongside that, the role assists on three specialised workstreams: screening renewable energy options (rooftop, ground-mounted and large-scale solar PV, CSP, solar thermal and hybrids), tracking carbon capture opportunities for inherent CO₂ and stationary combustion sources, and feeding energy efficiency initiatives into the roadmap. The long-term objective is to give ADNOC Gas a reliable, documented evidence base for its carbon reduction commitments.
Key learning opportunities for this job
This role is essentially a paid immersion into industrial decarbonization at scale. You will likely build practical proficiency in GHG accounting, emissions baselining and forecasting, and abatement tracking across a large portfolio of operating assets and growth projects.
The posting lists several specialised areas where you would get hands-on exposure: carbon capture screening for boilers, heaters and gas turbines; renewable energy options from rooftop solar to CSP and solar thermal; flaring and fugitive emissions reduction; methane management; Life Cycle Assessment; Product Carbon Footprint and CBAM readiness. These are exactly the areas where demand for skilled staff is growing fastest.
You would also work under a Manager, Specialist or Senior Engineer in Carbon Management, which suggests structured mentorship, and coordinate with HSE, Operations, Finance and external consultants. That exposure to how a major energy group turns emissions data into investment decisions is hard to replicate elsewhere.
How does the ideal candidate look like (experience, skills)?
The posting asks for 5 to 7 years of relevant experience and a bachelor's degree in engineering (chemical, mechanical, electrical or environmental), environmental science, sustainability, carbon management or energy management. A candidate with process or project engineering experience inside oil and gas, plus a pivot into emissions work, would fit well.
On the technical side, you should be comfortable with GHG accounting, emissions baselining and forecasting, abatement tracking, and emissions calculations from operating assets. Working knowledge of oil and gas facilities, including utilities, power, fuel, steam and flaring sources, is explicitly expected, so candidates from outside heavy industry may need to show transferable knowledge.
Preferred certifications include GHG Protocol training, ISO 14064 awareness or lead implementer, Certified Energy Manager, and LCA or Product Carbon Footprint training. Power BI or similar dashboarding skills are a plus. Soft skills matter too: the role coordinates data from HSE, Operations, Finance, Engineering and consultants, so clear documentation and follow-through are essential.
Advice to stand out and make a successful application
Tailor your application to ADNOC Gas's specific carbon management workstreams, not to sustainability in general. Use the exact vocabulary of the posting: decarbonization roadmap, abatement register, GHG emissions baselining, inherent CO₂, CBAM readiness, renewable energy assessment.
In your cover letter, pick two or three of the listed areas (for example carbon capture screening, LCA and Power BI) and describe a project where you compiled emissions data, built a comparison table and produced a summary that fed a real decision. Say what changed as a result.
For the interview, be ready to walk through one emissions calculation end to end, including where the data came from and which assumptions you flagged. Show you can coordinate with HSE, Operations and Finance teams, and that you understand the difference between abated and unabated emissions profiles. Mention any GHG Protocol, ISO 14064 or CEM training, since these are explicitly preferred.
What aspects of the company's sustainability is this role likely to focus on?
The role sits squarely on the environmental side of ESG, specifically emissions measurement, abatement tracking and decarbonization planning for ADNOC Gas. The main focus areas named in the posting are GHG emissions baselining and forecasting, the abatement initiatives register, flaring reduction, fugitive emissions and methane management.
A second cluster is low-carbon technology screening. You would help evaluate renewable energy integration, carbon capture for inherent CO₂ and combustion sources such as boilers, heaters and gas turbines, and energy efficiency as an abatement lever. The renewables work spans solar PV in several configurations, solar CSP, solar thermal and hybrid options, which signals a portfolio-level rather than project-level view.
A third and increasingly visible area is carbon accounting along the value chain: Life Cycle Assessment, Product Carbon Footprint and CBAM readiness. These feed directly into how ADNOC Gas's products are positioned in export markets, so the role connects emissions data to commercial and regulatory exposure, not only to internal reporting.
What are the main challenges someone in this role might face?
The clearest challenge is data. The role depends on inputs from HSE, Operations, Finance, Engineering and external consultants, and emissions data from multiple asset teams is often incomplete, inconsistent or late. Chasing, validating and reconciling that data without formal authority over the sources will test your coordination skills.
A second challenge is the tension between production growth and decarbonization. ADNOC Gas is developing brownfield and greenfield projects while updating an abatement register, so you may have to compare low-carbon options against CAPEX, OPEX and production forecasts. Those trade-offs are technical and commercial at once, and your analysis may not always produce the answer the business prefers.
Finally, the regulatory side is moving. CBAM readiness, LCA and Product Carbon Footprint requirements are named as emerging in the posting, which means methodologies and expectations can shift while you are mid-project. Staying current and flagging assumptions early will matter more than perfect answers.
How could a typical day look like for someone in this position?
A typical day would be weighted towards data work and coordination. You might start by pulling production and emissions figures from asset teams or updating the abatement register with new project statuses and assumptions. Much of the morning could go into Excel models, comparison tables or Power BI dashboards that will feed a roadmap update.
The middle of the day often involves meetings and follow-ups: a call with a project team to close a data gap, a check-in with HSE on actual emissions figures, or a session with a consultant working on a renewable energy or carbon capture screening study. You would then document what came back, flag assumptions and risks, and prepare a draft summary or technical note.
Variability comes from deadlines. Around roadmap updates or management reporting cycles, the work shifts towards consolidating inputs and polishing charts and narratives. During project reviews, it shifts towards emissions assessments and option comparisons. External regulatory milestones like CBAM could add their own bursts of activity.
What are the opportunities for professional growth and development in this role?
This is a technical support role in the Middle East's largest energy group, so growth likely follows two tracks. The first is vertical, towards Senior Engineer, Specialist or Manager, Carbon Management, which the posting itself names. The second is lateral, into project engineering, energy management or HSE, since the role sits at the intersection of operations, engineering and sustainability.
Because ADNOC Gas is running a decarbonization roadmap across brownfield, greenfield and growth projects, a high performer could build a track record on renewable energy integration, carbon capture screening or CBAM readiness. These are areas where regulatory pressure is rising all over the world, so the skills are portable.
Visibility is the deciding factor. Draft summaries, charts and technical notes that reach management will count more than day-to-day data maintenance. Candidates who volunteer for cross-functional workstreams (flaring reduction, methane management, LCA) will likely find the fastest route to more responsibility.
The main stakeholders you might be interacting with
The post names the direct reporting line clearly: Manager, Carbon Management, Specialist Carbon Management and Senior Engineer, Carbon Management. Day to day, those people guide priorities, review calculations and receive the draft summaries and dashboards you produce.
Internally, you would coordinate with HSE and Operations and asset teams for actual emissions and production data, with project teams and Engineering for brownfield, greenfield and growth project inputs, and with Finance for CAPEX, OPEX and technical data used in carbon management assessments. Energy management teams supply input on efficiency initiatives.
Externally, the role touches consultants and technology providers, particularly for renewable energy screening and carbon capture studies, as well as certification bodies and regulators indirectly through work on CBAM, LCA and Product Carbon Footprint requirements. Expect a lot of information gathering and follow-up rather than top-down instruction.
