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.
