We are CBAM Estimator, a young SaaS company based in Stuttgart. Our mission is to help companies meet the requirements of the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) accurately, efficiently and at scale.

We build modern web platforms that help international manufacturing and trading companies calculate emissions, manage CBAM-related data and prepare the documentation required for CBAM compliance.

We are an international team with diverse backgrounds spanning emissions accounting, environmental science, IT, mathematics and business. We share a commitment to making complex regulatory requirements manageable through a pragmatic and transparent approach.

To support our work with manufacturers in China, we are looking for an Environmental Engineer / Carbon Specialist based in China who combines technical expertise in environmental matters with strong communication skills.

You will work directly with Chinese manufacturers, helping them understand CBAM data requirements, collect the necessary emissions and production data, and prepare supporting documentation. You will also act as a bridge between local manufacturers and our international team.

You do not need to be a CBAM expert from day one. A strong technical background in environmental engineering, carbon accounting, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions or a related field is more important. We will help you develop the necessary CBAM expertise.
